Northern California: , by Dax Messett: Rain, Wind, & pretty good fishing: 3 stars We finally got some much needed rain in the Intermountain area. The McCloud River got perhaps too much for fishing...being that it is the color of chocolate milk in the lower river. Ash Camp is still fishable as of today, but its not fishing all that great until later in the day and evenings. It should be PRIME when it clears. Watch out for scattered boulders all over the road on your way down there, and bring a spare tire.
Fall River dry fly angling is about to go off when the wind finally dies down in a day or two.
The Pit River is fishing quite well...see attached photo of a Pit River steelhead caught last week by my client Dennis. Yeah, I know that there aren't any steelhead making it above the 8 dams in the way, but look at this thing.
