The McCloud is as rugged as it is beautiful and rich with life. Every day is a gift.

With all of the precipitation we’ve had this winter, fishable water for steelhead on the fly has been scarce. Yesterday, I ventured out to one of my favorite local trout streams that is open all year. With patience, I hooked the largest rainbow I’ve caught on that stream. Oddly, there was evidence of a previous encounter with another angler present. In its upper lip, I found and removed a size 16 nymph with a few inches of 5X dangling. Nice to know that such a beautiful fish is still there and thriving.

I’m feeling grateful for the opportunities I have so close to home. The McCloud was in fine shape today but I couldn’t help thinking about Scott Katric while hiking in. Wish you were there today Scott.

Along with any good day spent on a river there may be fish. In this case there were steelhead once I covered enough water.
Great day!

Every now and then a person needs to just take an entire day and get lost on a River alone.
Meditation anyone?

We’ll it’s always fun to watch a pro doing their thing, especially when they are also a good friend. In the end, the strike finally came on the unfilmed drift. Whatever

We are so lucky to live in Siskiyou County. Today was just a taste of what’s out there to be discovered.
