The Short of It
It's simple.
I'm getting reports of heavy October Caddis hatches on the Upper Sacramento.
It's time for the BWOs to show on certain (and surprising) stretches of the Upper Sac.
The Internet drumbeat says the McCloud is fishing tough due to high water.
It's a full moon, which doesn't help the fishing much.
The weather's warming a bit after last week's mini-snowstorm.
"What's it all mean?" you ask the Underground?
Hell, I have no idea. Except that - in my capacity as
fly fishing's leading journalistic voice* - I'll be exploring the October Caddis Phenomenon AND (likely) the McCloud High Water story this week.
Stay tuned, Undergrounders. Fall is when everything hits the fan, including work, a pair of online marketing classes I foolishly agreed to develop and teach, the heaping piles of just-before-winter home improvement, and yes, the potential for a Thanksgiving trip to the Big Wood River in Idaho.
More to come.
(*True for an area of up to two square miles, at least at the time of this writing.)
