McCloud River: , by Dax Messett: The Mac is awesome: 4 stars Always a pleasure fishing The Mac. I had Doug from New York City today, and he could charge and fish well. We covered a vast amount of water and hooked many of the beautiful McCloud River wild red bands on various nymphs and drys. The morning was kind of slow, but we still hooked fish as we kept moving and covering lots of water. It shut off around 5:30. Pressure is heavy. Avoid dropping in right above or below another angler without conversation, this makes you look like a kook. There is lots of water to fish if you just hike a little bit, and a quick chat with other anglers helps everyone enjoy the experience on this famous river that is held in the highest regard.
