McCloud River (October Caddis)

Updated 1/1/2018

McCloud River - Our annual October Caddis outing.October 25-28, 2018 (Th-Su). Skill level - Intermediate to advanced(difficult terrain). Ah-Di-Nah Campground. Fishmaster - Kirston Koths.

The McCloud River is absolutely beautiful this time of year. And the fish love the big caddis flies that should be hatching, especially the migrating (big!) browns. Just cast near a the edges and watch your fly explode!

NOTE: This outing is located far from medical services, in a remote canyon where wading is difficult and injuries are not uncommon. This outing is a fun trip that will test (and hopefully improve) your angling skills, but it is not recommended for beginning anglers, those with limited wading skills, or people with health and fitness issues.

We will have a potluck dinner on Saturday night after sunset, followed by a campfire gathering with special activities.

GPFF strongly encourages car pooling. Contact the fishmaster at koths@sbcglobal.net to coordinate rides, or, more generally, if you have questions.

Look here for the fishout sheet a few weeks before the trip. Here are maps of the Conservancy, the river from the dam to Ah-Di-Nah, and the upper river loop.

Tight Lines!
