Fishing conditions:  Fair to Good

Report: The river has dropped quite a bit the last week making for increased access on the lower reaches. Clarity is excellent, the days are longer and bugs are beginning to pop. Bring the usual patterns for the Upper, Rubberlegs, Zebra Midges, some BP Weiss nymphs and fish them under a dry. On sunny days you can possibly get a hatch, so a well-stocked dry box would be a shame to leave at home. We'd recommend fishing Hat Creek or the McCloud at Ash Camp for now.
