Fly Fishing Report 4 /25/25 - Spring Northern California Fly Fishing
Both the Weather & Fishing are heating up. Lower Sac, Shasta Lake, & the McCloud River are all excellent options.
Walk & Wade
Upper Sac - McCloud - Pit - Hat Creek
We recently received an excellent report on the McCloud River from our guide Travis Babin who fished it on 4/22. The flows were ideal and there was even some dry fly action to be had. It’s officially go time on the McCloud and we expect May and June to be prime time on this river. When flows and temperatures become ideal, the first few weeks of fishing on our walk n wade rivers can be the best of the entire season. Uneducated fish from the winter will be excited to take advantage of the first major bug hatches, and a keen angler will be sure not to miss this opportunity.
