    United States Baird Hatchery – McCloud River  1874 – Salmon & Trout ponds used for distributing fish all over the United States and later to New Zealand & Australia 1875 –  Argentina & Chile 1904 to 1908.

    Mt Shasta Military Pass Rd

    This is Mount Shasta from the Military Pass Trail. It was a great journey my wife and I took when we drove from McCloud, California to Big Springs just like the old pioneers did during the eras of yesteryear.

    Upper Sac bass

    The Upper Sac down by Lakehead has just been producing bass this season as the water is so low the trout that usually come up now from Shasta Lake to escape summer heat and lounge in oxygenated pools of pure glacial water bliss can’t make it out of the lake or they just have moved out to find lower water temps.

    010

    So what I have been doing with my summer beginners is take them on a 4 mile float for bass in the mornings, then head over to the McCloud for the afternoons. (In the background the old railroad trestle from 1880’s still standing proud.)

    013

    Lunches haven’t changed, Carola is still putting out the best fly fishing guide lunch in the industry.

    016

    We use streamers that look like trout minnows, these bass eat a lot of trout fry. These bass are not indigenous to the area but have taken over now in the lower sections of the Upper Sacramento River. I look forward to the rains and the colder weather so these bass will return to the lake and we can start catching trout again.

    087But for now, the families who come up and just want to learn fly fishing can expect to catch about a dozen per half day trip and they put up a great fight. Plus with the added bonus of traveling over to the McCloud on the same day has been a hit with clients. I don’t mind the 12 hour day I put in. This is what you need to do right now to earn clients repeat and referral business!

    089

    Clients love not seeing other boats and not having to walk these arduous rivers all day and two rivers in one day is always a recipe for success.

    029

    As long as kids are catching fish regularly, all the better!

    McCloud jack trout

    Just pray for more rains people, now is the time of year we need it the most.

    This is the next generation of fly fisher’s and here at Jack Trout Fly Fishing Guide Service, we’re up for the task. There’s a reason we guide so many beginners in fly fishing in the North State.  trip advisor 2014 2014 Excellence Award013

    Fit for two kings after a fine morning of fishing on the Upper Sac.

    015

    Finally a trout… The rains will hit here later on this month and then I’ll be guiding trout and steelhead.

    016

    We float where Shasta Lake used to be.

    017

    Then over on the McCloud River things heat up in the afternoons.

    018

    Behind every rock is a trout waiting for a feeding opportunity, every week the river will fish better and better.

    021

    Trout fishing can be very rewarding when you’re a beginner out for your first time.

    023

    Not bad for your first trout, it’s a wild native rainbow.

    025

    Now it’s pops turn to catch a trout.

    027

    I find when I am teaching beginners it is best to put them on top of the trout then success is almost a guarantee.

    Jack Trout yard

    We are hoping for a big winter this year to refill the lakes and streams that are suffering.

    012

    One thing I have noticed this summer that the squirrels in my yard are starting to bury pine nuts very early this season. They have completely taken over my backyard and my cats who usually dominate the backyard are not hanging around. Meanwhile the squirrels are frantically working and have piles of pine cone scraps around the circumference of all the trees in my backyard. I have never seen this before and I am wondering if this could lead us into a badly needed harsh wet winter?

    016

       Armed with a chaw of pine gum, this little critter is betting on a long hard winter, let’s us hope he’s right.

    023

    Up in the trees down on the lawn, we have about 12 squirrels working around the clock. So cool to see, we love them. Very entertaining to read my history books and hear them working and feeding. 

    028

    And so it goes, does nature and animals have some inert intrinsic ability to predict through instinct the coming of changing weather conditions or how a season will play out. Can the forest be read and the future be predicted? Can incoming weather cycles be factors that help us know what to expect.

    Can a Farmers Almanac predict upcoming conditions? Let me know your thoughts and I will post them here. jt

    McCloud River spearing-salmon

    One thing I cherish so much is my original Thomas Hill painting called – Salmon Spearing – McCloud River 1888. I really couldn’t believe when the person sold it to me. One of my most valued treasures, not hanging on my wall. One of those antique garage sale stories where the person sells something they know nothing about. Keep your eyes open folks as life comes at you 24 hours a day. Don’t drive faster than your windshield, but if you do, leave your fly gear on the roof!

    Back then we had so much more water! In 1881 we had the great floods that brought us 47 inches of rain in the month of January. This is why this picture has so much water than now, it was a different era with weather.

    Trout on folks! Looks like a Camloop from Shasta Lake.

    In these hot temps, we’ve been getting the trout right back in the water.

    In these hot temps, we’ve been getting the trout right back in the water.

    Nice trout, there go back into the river she goes.

    006

    Bass on folks! 

    007

    When you have kids, the fishing is pretty slow right now for beginners, but these bass are a blast! Kids want action and catching a lot of these bass can be the key to them learning how to play a fish on a fly rod. then come October/November come back up and catch some steelhead, salmon and trout on fly rods.

    008

    So cool this experience he said!

    What a great time we had in the hot summer sun as that day it was about 96 degrees out.

     009

    Yea Team Trout!

    010

       Then over on the McCloud for trout we saw trout rising and the fishing was pretty good there too.

    014

    That was pretty fun folks.

    016

    This emerger is my secret weapon on the McCloud River, have this fly in your box for sure in size 18.

    I will be covering the history of trout, steelhead and salmon as well other fish that made it to California after the 1870′s

    I will be covering Spencer Baird, Livingston Stone and the entire history regarding how trout, steelhead and salmon were shipped out all over the Southern Hemisphere. Pictures from the 1800′s of the McCloud, Pit, Upper Sac before dams or even Shasta Lake.
    Do you know about the Gov. Aqua Train Car that was built to transport fish after the completion of the transcontinental rail road, they built 10 of them.
    Have you ever wondered how the shad got into the Lower Sac? Have you ever wondered where the stripper bass came from and how
    they survived the 2900 mile journey across the United States? There are 3 famous private clubs on the McCloud River, have you ever wondered how they were purchased and by whom. See very rare photos rarely ever seen on the west coast from the Smithsonian, Library of Congress and local historical societies and ones given to me by club members in the past. Learn about the entire history of the north state from 1840 to present. What the hell happened to the Wintu’ Indians and the Bull Trout on the McCloud River?
    This will be a history lesson, bring your note pads folks I’ve got great stories to tell.
    I will also be showing modern fly fishing pictures of rivers and destinations, we guide on in Northern California as well as Argentina, Belize & Chile. I will present the Gold Rush Era to the Northern Nevada Gold Prospectors, which an entirely different program, yet hilariously seriously interesting.

    A face more than just a mother could love, you love her, you love him. You sleep with your steelhead rod in anticipation of this upcoming season. You admit to this, but you never admitted to liking and listening to the Bee Gees in the 1970’s? 

    You shine you crazy diamonds! Can’t wait for the steelhead season folks!  jt
