It’s 40 degrees and raining lightly here in Mount Shasta, so anyone participating in the Trout Underground’s Annual Windup to the End of the General Trout Season That We Just Invented should remember that rain and snow are cold, vicious states of matter, and dress accordingly.
And because I’m teaching another marketing class tonight (this one on email/e-newsletter marketing for small business), I’m on yet another treadmill, where I work a lot and think about fly fishing instead of actually doing it.
Still, tomorrow beckons, and I expect to finally fish a little, if only because if I grow any pastier, I’ll be accused of wearing my Casper the Ghost costume long after Halloween ends.
It’s a far cry from the bad old days, when winter meant damned little fishing was available up here. Now the Upper Sac and Pit Rivers are open for winter fishing, and on November 15, it’s no longer necessary to confiscate kitchen knives from morose fly fishers.
The Linkmeister Cometh
It’s a time of year when I don’t post a report about every fishing trip I take, but to feed the hungry maw of the Underground’s readership, I have added a few helpful local links to my Links page:
- Upper Sacramento flows
- McCloud River flows (& turbidity)
- Where to find CDEC flows for all California Rivers
- Local weather (Shasta, Dunsmuir, Redding)
- CalTrans NorCal freeway cameras
What else would the Undergrounders find useful?
See you on the river (eventually), Tom Chandler.

how about a gift guide for us poor saps with little to no creativity/originality in that department and a variety of individuals expecting great things from us? And I’ll be honest, I’m really just interested in seeing what you put together in this list!

Will the Bears trade for Byron Leftwich so they have a third QB?
How do I get in on some of the bailout $$’s? I am nearly in debt from buying new fly fishing gear.
Let me know when the real estate market is going to bottom out, so I can look for a new ranchette here in suburban Montana.
Thanks for asking Tom.
