Brian Kohlman and I guided a group of six today on the McCloud River.  Our clients are a great group of guys from Santa Rosa that do an annual fishing trip up this way every fall.  Two others were out on the Lower Sac with Mike Corley.  We fished the Ash Camp area on the McCloud.  There were only a few other anglers in the area, so we pretty much had the run of the place.  Conditions were perfect, with overcast skies and no wind.  Fishing was a little on the slow side, but we had some great moments, including a 17" rainbow from one of the deeper pools.  We also had some first-time fly fishers hook and land their own fish, which was great.  Our best nymphs were size 16 olive hunchbacks and beadhead pheasant tails.  Around 3pm fish started rising in the calmer runs.  We had good luck with a creamy PMD parachute size 14.  October Caddis were flying around in good numbers when we left around 4pm.
