Full of snow
Well boys I’m back. Been on the disabled list for about 9 months but I am back in the saddle. Woke up this morning to snow but the rest of the week is going to be stellar. USac is running just under 3k but this is the time of the year when the river runs like a roller coaster when the snow melts. Made a trip down to Ash Camp on the McCloud River on a 70 degree day last week and it was great to see the river, it really warmed my cockles to see it as it was waking up from a long winters sleep. BWO’s were hatching on this warm day but no fish were feeding on top.. If you are thinking of fishing it soon think little black shit. Access across the dam and down to Ash Camp is great and on the day I was there we had it all to ourselves. The river is running about 265 cfs out of the dam and visibility was 3-5 feet. Time to get jiggy!
Cheers
