The river is in good shape for now and is a nice green on the lower end down by Shasta. Flows just below Lake McCloud through Ash Camp are 200 CFS and around 500 CFS on the gage at Ah-Di-Na. With longer days and warming weather we should begin seeing some insect hatches happening. Bring your S&Ms in #16 & 18, & Sweet Peas. Olive Hotspots and the Holopoint nymphs are good flies as well. Some smaller stoneflies should be coming off and when it's warmer you could see some early larger mayflies as well. 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.
