McCloud Reservoir - July 3rd, 2006
RECORDED: 90 ° FISHING: Excellent
The Vermeere family had quite a day on the Reservoir. When it was all said and done the group landed 25 of 35 Trout. Most of the Trout were of the Rainbow variety. They did land two other species of Trout, one Brookie and one Brown. Trolling, jigging and plugs were all successful methods with the hotshot/worm combo landing most of the Trout on the day. We trolled a Sep's kick-dodger and a worm in the morning out near the dam and picked up a few fish, then we jigged a buzzbomb in the same area for a few more( The Brookie and Brown both were caught while jigging). Then we headed up the McCloud River and finished off the day hooking over 20 nice Trout. Back-trolling a size 50 hotshot/worm combo was the hot method of the day. I'd like to thank Arnim, Bill, John, Robyn and William for a great day you all kicked some serious Trout butt!!!!!!
********The Klamath River is finally under 2000cfs (1970), the section below the Irongate hatchery should now be fishable. The water has been on a steady drop for the last few days so now is the time, before it drops below 1000cfs.

McCloud Reservoir - June 11th, 2006
RECORDED: 70 ° FISHING: Excellent
The conditions at McCloud Reservoir are the best they have been so far this season. The water is up and the fish are hungry. Sunday, I landed 20 Trout up near the castle, and all were caught after 1 in the afternoon. Almost any method of fishing will work right now. The Trout are also taking dry flies, as numerous hatches are occuring throughout the day. A lot of the fish are heading up the river to spawn, they are looking fat and healthy. Some of the Trout that I caught and released were easily 20-inches and 2-pounds. The Klamath is still flowing rather high (2990cfs), but it is not muddy coming out of Irongate Dam. One could probably fish it right now but it would be a little fast and high, 2500cfs or less would be better. The river has not been fishable since early December, so the Steelhead and Trout should be hungry and ready to take your offerings.

McCloud Reservoir - June 7th, 2006
RECORDED: 77 ° FISHING: Excellent
Last Saturday, Guy Ives and I fished McCloud Reservoir and caught fish on just about everything we used. We ended up catching and releasing 25 Trout some close to 20 inches and 2 pounds. We mainly fished the river near Hearst Castle. Bouncing bait, flies (Woolley "Booger" Bugger), and trolling a Sep's dodger with a worm trailer were the most effective methods. The reservoir is in great shape as are the Trout. The water level is near perfect so if you looking for a good time this would be it.

McCloud Reservoir - June 1st, 2006
RECORDED: 75 ° FISHING: Great
McCloud Reservoir has been fishing well this spring. Last Monday, I took my son and wife out for some fun on the water and we caught a dozen Trout and one nice 22 inch German Brown Trout. We mainly fished up the river arm of the lake catching quite a few Rainbow Trout. Trolling a Seps dodger and a worm worked best. We landed the Brown Trout just around the corner from the boat launch, trolling a F-7 flatfish near the shore at 25 feet. The lake is full of water and fish so come on out a give it try.
