**UPPER SAC RAFT TRIP RESERVATIONS START NOW!!**
 Mount Shasta covered with fresh snow:
Things are really starting to shape up for this upcoming stream opener on April 24th. The mountain has recieved 251"s of snow fall or approximately 10' of snow pack at mid level elevations. I found this out through the Mt Shasta Avalanche Center located at www.shastaavalanche.com It's a wonderful site with great pics and valuable information. Headed by Matt Hill and Eric White, they do a great job of keeping everyone informed regarding all conditions for any kind of sport that exists on Mt Shasta. Thanks guys great job! jt
Jack and Chuck with a lunker on!:
This story begins after the customers had left for home. It was day for Team Trout to get out and do a little fishing. Mike, Chuck and I met up and before long I was hooked up in the back of the boat with a torpedo that wasn't gonna give up that easy. Mike exclaimed, "I saw that fish when you first hooked it, it's HUGE!!"
Jack's biggest on Klamath:
This was truly the biggest Steelhead I've ever seen in the Upper portion of the Klamath River. Estimated at 12 lbs, and 32 inches in length my guides agreed this was the biggest they had seen too! This fish made my year, it was all jolly rancher form then on!! Here's some more pics of Big Bert...
Trout s biggest on the Klamath 2004:
I've caught several fish in the 5 to 7 lb range but rarely will I ever see a Steelhead of this size in the Klamath River. I didn't care if I didn't catch another fish all day! Big Bert, broke through the mesh in my nice, not so nice anymore net! But he was released unharmed to spawn and make more Big Berts. How cool was that!!! JT
Trout wears trout:
Without warning Big Bert took a big leap on me as though to leave his mark and he was off to the races again. Big Bert you'da Man! What an absolute memorable experience on the Klamath River.
Mike with a nice Steely Feb 2004:
Mike landed a nice one too! All in all, we did pretty good, but just being out on the Klamath in gorgeous weather was good enough for me!
Mike with Garrett Feb 2004:
At the Sportsman Show we met a gentlemen by the name of Garrett Boutin, he soon contacted us right after the show to take us up on our offer to show him a good time. Mike took him the first day and I followed up on the second.
Mike with Garrett and his 7lber:
Mike got Garrett into this healthy cromer and the smile says it all! Garrett has fly fished all over the world and has actually fish more out of the country than he has right here in his own backyard. As we parted the second day he took a Jack Trout Hat and mentioned how he plans to spend more time here in Northern Cal. I didn't tell him but I gave him the hat cause Garret Boutin, YOU'RE SIZZLER OF THE WEEK!! CONGRATULATIONS SIZZLER!
Back Seat Driver:
This is like a back seat driver asleep at the wheel! Klamath Griff 2004:
