    *****UPPER SAC FLY FISHING RAFT TRIPS – APRIL * MAY * JUNE*****


    *****BELIZE FLY FISHING PACKAGES STARTING AT $1850- 8 DAYS * 7 NIGHTS * 5 DAYS FLY FISHING*****




    Spring is here! The fishing season is amongst us folks! It’s a great time of year when the red bud blooms its purple flowers of brilliance that spreads sunshine in the hearts of all of us who cherish the outdoors and the way nature expresses its splendid annual beauty.



    Bob Rathborne knows, spring is warmly welcomed, especially out here on the Upper Sac in April.



    Nothing’s better than hanging out on the edge of a river fly fishing
    with a great past customer like Bob Rathborne. A lot of people ask me; “Trout why do you wear those silly little shin guards?” I reply, “Beacuse they protect my knees and shins when holding the raft while customers fish. Also, I like hearing people out there laughing at me! It’s healthy to look stupid and laugh at yourself often. If you haven’t noticed, I enjoy being different!

    My bruises & cherries went away, and now my legs are healthy in the spring…..



    More slack man!



    Trout bite on the swing! Swing your partner ~ Dosie – Doe!



    Bob – Life is good when fish is on!



    David’s first time out on the raft was a good experience!



    Mr Golden Stone enjoying the views!



    Can you say, “hook-up!”



    Elvis has left the room!



    Powerful bugger!



    That trout is huge for the Upper Sac!



    Nice form man! This trout took a size 16 Micro Golden Stone.



    Way to go! I would say 4 pounds plus… When you catch a fish like this as a beginner, you never forget it! This fish was so strong and fought so long, Bob Rathborne thought it might be foul hooked! It was just one very strong fish. Upper Sac trout fight hard.



    Scenic Beauty in every direction.



    Remember, I show the pictures where we catch trout. There are rapids on this run that are class 3 +. No one should be rafting this trip without the proper experience and knowledge. Other folks have flipped trying to copy my one of a kind fly fishing adventure. I found all their gear, it wasn’t pretty. I am a certified class 4 rafting guide with 16 years experience rafting and fly fishing on this river. No other guide service can do this trip legally. I have all the forest permits and private accesses to make this trip I pioneered a success. please respect the river by becoming a certified
    rowing expert, you could really hurt someone out there.

    Jack Trout



    Ship-Roc-Bobby….Hook-up!



    We catch all sizes folks!



    Now this guy is certified alright! Dave Flournoy, certified crazy fun!



    This fish is not hooked in the tail! Isn’t the colors of the Upper Sac wonderful…



    A nice specimen indeed! Relaxing in my new Brodin Net.

    http://www.brodin.com Use Brodin nets, they help fish survive!!jt

    Your headline about Nestle’s 1 million square foot water bottling plant helping McCloud is irresponsible. Logging, and the jobs it created, disappeared from McCloud because of resource mismanagement. Nestle’s plan also exhibits gross resource mismanagement, building an extraction business that will only hurt the McCloud area. From the start, Nestle mismanaged their EIR, which made no reference to the effect of the factory on local fish and wildlife.

    Few, low paying, assembly line jobs will result from this fully automated plant. The highly-paid will be Swiss engineers flying in for tours of duty at the plant, then leaving for other Nestle facilities. Most jobs will go to diesel truck drivers who will clog local roads and pollute the air with over 600 daily trips from the plant to market, where Nestle will sell McCloud water at a supreme profit.

    Nestle is severely under-compensating local residents for the water. Nestle will pay McCloud only $26.40 per acre-foot the spring water. Typical water buyers in California pay $80.00 per acre-foot. Nestle will pay no fee increases to McCloud over the 100-year agreement. In drought, Nestle will take priority over the water needs of local residents, fish and wildlife.

    McCloudʼs greatest economic resource is as a tourist and retirement destination. The quality of the fishing, hiking, camping and other outdoor activities that draw people to the area relies on the plentiful, uninterrupted supply of pure, clean water. Nestle plans to ransack that resource through the financial rape town’s residents. Their plans for this water plant should be stopped.

    Jack,

    Thanks for the trip. My only goal was to have Robbie catch some fish, which he did. It was a good trip even without catching a fish. Thanks for your patience. The blog is great.

    How does your schedule look for the week of May 19th? I’m pretty open for the week. Is this a good time to fish the upper sac (same trip), or would you suggest something else? On this one I will bring my wife along and would like you to guide it.

    Thanks,

    Rob Preddy



    Sir,

    My son (44) and I (73) are thinking about going from Southern
    California to McCloud
    or Mt. Shasta to do some fly fishing. Our tackle is light 3/4 and my
    experience is limited.
    We are thinking about mid June and would fly to either Reno or Medford
    and rent a car.

    If we used you as a guide for a day or two could we expect to fish
    without traveling
    too far from McCloud or Shasta? Is the fishing without long hikes? We
    are catch and
    release types so that may influence your suggestions as to where we
    could fish.
    We prefer wading and probably would not want to use a boat. Although I
    climbed
    Mt. Shasta 16 years ago, I can no longer go to elevations above 6000
    ft. We would
    make plane and hotel/motel reservations but would depend on you to get
    us started
    by showing us good streams to fish. We would, after your help, stay a
    day or two longer
    fishing on our own at the places you showed us.

    Thanks,

    John Ekelund


    HI JACK,
    GREAT PHOTOS.
    IS THIS A GOOD TIME FOR THE UPPER SAC? STILL ANXIOUS TO HAVE MY SON AND MAYBE MY DAUGHTER AND I ALSO, GO FISHING WITH YOU.
    IF YOU HAVE TIME, COULD YOU PLEASE LET ME KNOW
    THANKS, HAPPY FRIDAY!

    ANDREA
    RED BLUFF


    Ok so we are on for 4/5/6

    The hotel you suggested had poor ratings, any other ideas for a simple place
    or hotel where I can chill out without lots of noise but may have wifi?

    Mt. Shasta Ranch Bed and Breakfast?
    McCloud River Inn?
    Shasta MountINN?

    Jon


    Thank You Jack…………..AWESOME as always.

    I’ll forward this to Victor Carter, Todd at Little Bear, Graeagle, and of course, Troy Carter, my son.

    Blessings to you,
    Wish I were there……..keep sending me pictures.

    Jack,

    We≠d like to see if there is a time in June we could get up with you to catch some big ones this year.

    From middle of June we can be flexible on the daysΣLet me know

    Jeffrey A. Ramirez


    Jack:

    I talked with Peter and we are a definite go for Sunday, 5/25. Thanks.

    Judith Brown


    Jack, here’s the latest in this saga. I was unable to get a partner for Monday, April 28th, but I am all set, and if you can get another fisherman, that would be great. Bob Jones and I would then like to float the lower Sac the next day, Tuesday. He will be far more comfortable in the larger boat. Can we book you for that as well? Thanks, Warren


    Hi Jack,

    Just checking in that we are still a go for May 28th. My dad will be flying into Redding on the 27th and I will pick him up. Where would you recommend we stay that night to be closest to our launch point for the following day?

    Thanks in advance.

    BTW √ Loved your blogs on fishing in S America. Really has me thinking about a trip down there for next year.

    MW


    Jack,got back late and read your call,Iwill talk to the guys tonite and get back at you Tue nite.A ride on the upper Sac would be great .Would we have 2 rafts?One of the days we are going to fish the conservancy as we have reservations on both Sat and Sun.Cheers John S.


    Jack,

    I’ve penciled in the week of Oct. 29 thru the 31st. Group of 8, arriving Wed. 10-29. Fish Thurs. & Fri 10-30 & 31. depart Sat. 11-1. Will make our own lodging arrangements.

    REPORT: ALGAE TOXIN POSES HEALTH RISK IN KLAMATH SALMON, PERCH, AND MUSSELS
    Oregonian – 4/11/08
    http://www.oregonlive.com/newsflash/regional/index.ssf?/base/news-24/1207853652112600.xml&storylist=orlocal
    An analysis shows tissue samples from a popular game fish found in two Klamath River reservoirs and mussels from the Klamath River contain algae toxins at levels high enough to pose a risk to public health. The Karuk Tribe commissioned the analysis as part of its campaign to remove dams on the Klamath River to help salmon. The analysis by Aquatic Ecosystems Sciences in Ashland recommends that warnings be posted against eating yellow perch from Copco and Iron Gate reservoirs and freshwater mussels from the river during summer when the algae blooms are going on. The perch are a popular game fish and the mussels are a traditional food for tribal members.

    No commercial or recreational salmon fishing will be allowed off the coast of California and most of Oregon this year.
    The Pacific Fishery Management Council voted Thursday to cancel the chinook fishing season in an effort to reverse the catastrophic disappearance of California’s fabled run of the pink fish popularly known as king salmon. “I think it’s probably the right thing to do,” said Barbara Emley, 64, who has run a commercial fishing boat with her husband out of Fisherman’s Wharf since 1985. It’s tough, though. We’re going to lose our (fishing) community. People are going to have to figure out what to do with five months of no income.”

    BATTLING UPSTREAM: THE TRIBES ON THE KLAMATH KNOW THAT AS THE RIVER GOES, SO GO THE SALMON

    The Klamath River surges just below Merk Oliver’s house. Right now, the water is slightly turbid, clouded and green – perfect for steelhead fishing. The Klamath is the second largest river in California, following the Sacramento, and its watershed encompasses a landscape that seems removed from the rest of the state by time as well as distance. Freeways, the digital economy, the entertainment industry, industrial agriculture – up here they seem like ill-recalled dreams.

    “TRASH FISH” A BIG KEY TO SUSTAINABILITY
    Lake Oswego Review – 4/10/08
    http://www.lakeoswegoreview.com/features/story.php?story_id=120759933418493500
    In the fish kingdom, the Pacific lamprey pretty well scrapes the bottom when it comes to prestige. In fact, over in the Great Lakes the lamprey are considered strictly a nuisance, an invasive species that is choking the streams for more worthwhile fish. The objective there is to kill them all off. ≥They≠ve been labeled a trash fish,≈ said Robin Lewis, restoration coordinator for Friends of Tryon Creek State Park. But when it comes to sustainability in the Northwest, the Pacific lamprey are very important, indeed. They are a native species to this region, and their mysterious decline in recent years is truly cause for concern. If the Pacific lamprey disappears, what will disappear next? Probably a much more prestigious fish like the salmon. And the disappearing won≠t stop there.

    ACTION ALERTS:

    * COMMENTS NEEDED: ASK THE EPA TO EXPAND KLAMATH TOXIC ALGAE LISTING

    Last month, a Klamath Riverkeeper lawsuit forced the EPA to list a section of the Klamath for toxins produced by the algae Microcystis aeruginosa. Now, the EPA’s decision is open for official commenting, and we need to follow up on our success by telling the EPA to expand their listing to include more of the Klamath, and a broader definition of the toxin itself. Toxic algae impacted the Klamath from PacifiCorp’s dams all the way to the mouth of the river, and we must insist the EPA widens its regulations to include this pollution, not just the toxins in PacifiCorp’s reservoirs. Talking points and contact information are below.

    1. The EPA listed the toxin microcystin, but not the toxic algae that produces it, Microcystis aeriginosa. Remind the EPA that Microcystis aeruginosa is also a pollutant, and has been listed as such in over 30 places, and should be listed as such on the Klamath.

    2. Both the toxin microcystin, and the toxic algae Microcystis aerigunosa have been documented all the way from the reservoirs to the mouth of the Klamath River, at levels high enough to turn the entire river green and to force health officials to post the river as dangerous for recreational contact during the height of the fishing season. A recent report has also shown that mussels on the river below the reservoirs have had had levels of microcystin 66 times the safe seasonal intake levels for children, and even surpassed safe levels for single exposure in adults by 11 times. Despite this, the EPA told the Associated Press that the algae does not appear below PacifiCorp’s reservoirs. Tell the EPA that toxic algae is a documented pollutant from the reservoirs to the mouth and needs to be officially recognized as such.

    3. PacifiCorp’s reservoirs are both creating, and releasing, toxic algae blooms and microcystin toxin, which is devastating the Klamath River’s recreational economy and hurting Native American Tribes. This should be reflected in the EPA’s decision.

    Please take the time to write the EPA a letter asking them to list the Klamath River below the reservoirs as impaired for toxic algae, and microcystin toxin, or sign onto Klamath Riverkeeper’s comments. To sign on, send your name, affiliation if you have one, and address to regina@klamathriver.org. Comments are due on April 28th.

    Abstract: Rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) was first introduced into Argentinean Patagonia, the southernmost region of South America, from the United States in 1904 and at present constitutes the most conspicuous freshwater fish in lakes and rivers of the region. The Santa Cruz River in Southern Patagonia is the only river in the world where a self-sustained population of introduced rainbow trout is known to have developed an anadromous run. In this study, we examined mtDNA sequence variation to identify the source of Santa Cruz River rainbow trout, providing a historical framework to interpret the processes underlying phenotypic variation and structure of Patagonian populations. The Santa Cruz River may harbor distinct North American stocks of rainbow trout, widely distributed around the world during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, but today threatened after decades of habitat loss, species introduction, and introgression from alien stocks. The mtDNA sequence data revealed that the most likely origin for wild anadromous and nonanadromous fish was the McCloud River in California. Meanwhile, a local hatchery stock, representative of rainbow trout introduced from Denmark after 1950 and widely stocked ever since throughout Patagonia, most probably originated from multiple lineages from western North America, including non-Californian populations.
