McCloud River Fishing Report - August 17, 2017
The river is in very good shape. There is a lot of smoke and haze in the air. We
didn't receive any reports from anyone fishing this past week and assume the
smoke is probably the reason. Hopefully, it will clear out soon.
Stream Conditions:
7 Day Weather Forecast: There is no chance of rain for the coming week.
Highs will range from 80 to 84 degrees and lows from 66 to 67 degrees.
Recommended Trout Flies
