McCloud River Clarity is All Over the Place

The turbidity gage has been on a yoyo, it spiked last week at 15 and is now half of that and dropping. Clarity on the top end below the dam can't be great, but could be worth checking out. Larger, dark nymphs and streamers like the TJ Hooker, Rubberlegs and leeches are what fish will eat in these circumstances. Other strategies would be to fish Sculpin patterns on sinking or intermediate lines. The good news is the fish feel super comfortable and can be caught right at your feet. To reserve a day with one of our expert guides to experience one of the most picturesque streams in the north state, call Chris or Bryan in Outfitters at 800-669-3474.
