That side above the bridge use to be so good before the 2017 flood. That long flat by the willows and that round riffle pool below it was so fun to fish. Now I don't know why people fish that side....

I'm glad I'm not the only one that shares this opinion. The McCloud was the last of the most popular fly fishing rivers in California that needed to fish. All the pictures of the McCloud are of big...
I just got back from fishing there for the first time. Clarity was good and the catching was good. Fish were taking rubber legs and BWO flies but mostly on the mayfly. I was using an iron lotus that...
I am also interested. It looks like the turbidity and flow are good. How is the road? The NF site says that the road is in very rough condition and is not advisable to travel on. Is this all hearsay...
Well that doesn't look too promising. The weather seems to be dropping fast too so I'll probably just stick to Kirman.
Thanks for the replies. I'm planning on biking in and spending two nights and hitting up Poore Lake after Kirman. I feel like I'm already at capacity with all the bags on the bike and a backpack so I...
I'm planning a trip to Kirman next week and am trying to figure out what kind of line to bring. This will be my first time there and the information that I keep finding is that the fish tend to be on...
Yeah I'm more in the below 1200 cfs at the minimum for crossing in a few spots. Below 1k you can pretty much cross most of the key spots.
I've been curious about the gate myself and went down this evening to take a look. It looks like you can still hike in as there is about 2ft of space at the ends of the gate but there is no longer...
I'm not super familiar with Auburn area since I'm about an hour away but I've eyed and research a few spots on Google Maps. I've been to RuckaChucky but have not fished or camped there. The MF below...
I thought this was interesting.

I fished it last fall and absolutely nailed fish. Euronymphing produced the best results since its too fast to indicator fish. Without spoiling any secrets take it slow and cover water. A lot of...
Nice deep blue with a visibility of around 3ft. Good enough for the fish to see our flies but still be comfortable.
Same here. Covered a ton of water and didn't see anyone hook anything. I definitely believe it was drop in flows. I've found that flood years also tend to have slower fishing as well at least until...
Most spots I cross are doable at 800 CFS but become more limited with higher flows. My cap is 1200 CFS for crossing anywhere in the river. With recent flows old crossing areas may have changed too....
Does anyone here regularly fish Hat anymore? I feel I might be the only one. There aren't a lot of accessible spring creeks in California so Hat is kind of special in that sorts. The fish majority of...
I have an Echo Shadow II 3wt 10' that I absolutely love. It's very versatile excels at tightline nymphing but also great for throwing dries, indicators, etc. I broke it on one of my trips and bought...
I was just playing with Euro nymphing there yesterday. I feel like the Yuba before it changed in 2017 was much better for Euro nymphing, more pocket water, nooks, crannies, etc especially above the...
I fished it above the bridge right before it closed. I was in my raft and was able to cover some good amount of water and found the fish in the deep stuff below riffles and near structure like the...
This.
I've always had better fishing during low light periods in the early morning and evening. This has affect my success the most on the surf regardless of any other factors.
I'll chime in and...
I was there yesterday and river has about 2-3ft of clarity. Couple of pinkies on the surface but nothing looking up.
Thankfully I do have access to a depth finder. What type of line works best out of a float tube? I figured I'd be just fine with my outbound short I use on the shore.
Can any of you wonderful seasoned anglers provide a few pointers float tubing Pyramid? I'm planning on getting out there soon and was thinking it'd be fun to float it if the wind permits. I'm...
I just saw that he posted a report about the MFFR. This is so sad. Jon and I shared information about some of our favorite rivers in the past. I really looked up to him he was one of a kind.
I've been fishing Stinson Beach a few times a year for about three years now and have been pretty consistent at catching fish in the surf. Surf fishing in general can be confusing with tides, waves,...
