USac arches
The dog daze of summer are upon us now. On the USac I recommend nymphing the rough oxygenated water and pockets. Also dry fly action is occurring at 0 dark 30 so you have to wait till it’s almost dark. Over on the McCloud the water has a lot of turbidity on it so be cautious if you want to fish it. It very muddy almost the color of chocolate. If you haven’t heard already, on July 15, a female Chinook salmon was guarding a redd with multiple males seen nearby competing for the position near the redd at Ash Camp. In 2022 the Winnemem Wintu tribe planted them in Shasta Lake, you can see a rough picture below of a jack (junvenile salmon) caught recently in the river. Also there’s a cleanup crew that’s going begin cleaning up Ah Di Nah Campground in September, see the schedule below.
