Another Yo-Yo on the McCloud River: Reports Suggest it’s Clearing & Fishing

Because we enjoy jerking our McCloud River-addicted readers around like hooked hatchery trout, we’re posting a followup to all our other McCloud followup posts, only this one suggests the McCloud’s clearing and in fact, we have a pair of it’s fishing “OK” emails.

Clearly, it’s going to be a busy last week on the McCloud (a good reason for me to stay on the Upper Sac), and everyone should be careful about wading into Brown trout spawning redds (careful about not wading into them, that is).

And while you’re busy avoiding those redds, you’ll do yourself a favor if you bring some warm clothing; there’s still hail on the ground here in Mount Shasta from last night’s storm, and more “weather” is forecast for the week ahead.

And just a reminder to everyone who rushes to the McCloud and then fails to catch a trout, please forward your angry, spittle-filled emails to someone else (say East Tennessee’s Ian Rutter, if only because he’s catching big Brown trout and I’m not).

See you on the McCloud, Tom Chandler.
