Conditions are fine, fish are bringing smiles to those who are out there giving it a go and The Ted Fay Fly Shop is open for your...

There is plenty of water up here, all of our streams are flowing at healthy levels and the trout are enjoying the cool water during the warm summer. The McCloud River has unfortunately … once again … gone rogue and   is blown out muddy. Figure this river not being fishable for awhile ( UPDATE 7/30/2015 John rickard of Wild Waters Reports Today the River was...

Despite the hot weather, the trout fishing up north remains good and at times some would say very good. The Lower Saccontinues to fish well in the early morning hours and in the evenings. Plenty of fish can be hooked midday too, it’s just a bit more comfortable out early and late. The freestone streams are fishing well early in the day as...

McCloud River

Our past week on the Nor Cal rivers has brought successful summer days of fishing for clients. Yes there is plenty of water up here, all of our streams are flowing at healthy levels and the trout are enjoying the cool water during the warm summer. Recent thunderstorms have even added a little flow to the rivers. The McCloud River is running a bit off...

Hot weather has left the house and cooler days are prevailing. The big 4th of July holiday stampede has come and gone with limited collateral damage and battle scars. Things are settling in nicely now and both of our favorite rivers are giving us some good fishing. Right now is a great time to be here for the fishing and all the other accessories that the area has to...

The McCloud and the Upper Sac have some big bugs helicoptering around. Evening fishing is where it’s at on these freestone streams right now.

The Klamath River has kicked out some good Dry Fly fishing recently. The Goldens and Salmonflies are out and fish are looking up…

Rick Cox of Wild Waters Reports:

The Stones are really starting to bust out up here on both the Upper Sac and McCloud Rivers. These rivers are in sweet shape and begging for your presence. NOW is the time to get off your butts and enjoy the fun of a big nose attacking your stimulator. Warm weather (finally) in the forecast will also kick all mayfly and caddis hatches into gear. During the slow...

Two words for Nor-Cal and Southern Oregon fly fishers… Get Outside! It’s the middle of May… do you know where your wading boots are?

Simply put… it’s an angler’s blank canvas with pretty much every fishery in northern California holding potential over the next few weeks. It’s all beginning to happen: salmonflies, golden stoneflies, caddis, drakes, pmd...

Wildwaters Reports

We are continuing to fish on the McCloud river, Upper Sac and Lower Sac. In general the fishing has been fair to good. We are seeing fish eat dry flies on the upper rivers and we only expect the hatches to grow each day. The Lower Sac continues to be a strong hold of good fishing. With all the trout streams open in California we have also been spending time on some lesser know...

John Rickard, Wild Waters Fly Fishing

The Upper Sac is fishing very good right now. A midday hatch of March Browns is occurring and the stones are starting to show in numbers as the afternoon progresses.
