More solid reports rolling in from the McCloud this week with some nice Browns and lake-run Rainbows coming to net in the Conservancy and Ash Camp area. Mid day and afternoons are seeing some giant Blue Wing Olive hatches, and some Grannom Caddis as well. Bring your S&Ms in #16 & 18, Sweet Peas, and some Andy's October Caddis. Olive Hotspots and the Holopoint nymphs are good flies as well. For the evening Caddis hatches right at dark, bring Bird's Nests, Poopahs and Missing Links will be players. To target the largest Browns, the olive and natural Slumpbusters stripped or swung have been paying off. 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.
