The big rains have the river pumping and cloudy as of now. If you do go up to find fish, look up towards Dunsmuir above the tributaries for the best chances of clear water. Most fish are coming to small black midge and Baetis patterns. Both red and black Zebra Midges in #18 - 20 are always a good idea along with your favorite Baetis nymph like a black Micro May, Two Bit Hooker, or any of the dark Perdigon patterns. Watch the forecast driving up the hill and it would not be a bad idea to carry chains.
