The storm last week really clouded up the river on the lower end, it is clearing and should be good on the top end around Ash Camp. The release from Lake McCloud is 200 CFS and pretty big through Ah-Di-Na at 680 CFS, so be careful if you head over the saddle to the campground. Bring your S&Ms in #16 & 18, & Sweet Peas. Olive Hotspots and the Holopoint nymphs are good flies as well. Some smaller stoneflies should be coming off and when it's warmer you could see some early larger mayflies as well. To target the largest Browns, the olive and natural Slumpbusters stripped or swung have been paying off. We'll be looking for the lengthening days when the sun begins to warm the valley and we can look forward to Salmonflies and Green Drakes. 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.
