*****TRINITY RIVER AND LOWER SAC FISHING GREAT!!!*****

What a great week to be up in the Mt Shasta area! The temps are hot, but escapes up into the high mountain lakes make for a refreshing retreat plus the views and scenes are there for you! Hope you have all had a good one. I’ve been doing a little guiding, and a lot of cruising around my region snapping shots for the web site. I hope you like this picture of Mother Nature’s flower garden shot up on the Eddies. There are 7 different types of wild flowers in this one picture! I’m happy to announce my friend Jerry Hannan of the Mad Hannans will be the opening act for the Doobie Brothers at the Mountain Winery in Saratoga, August 27th and 28th. Wow! Back stage with the Mad Hannans and the Doobie Brothers, I’ll try to get some cool pics for us!! jt

Over on the Trinity the flows have been lowered to 450 CFS!
That’s a little on the low side but makes it terrific for catching numerous 1/2 bers and the occasional adult…. Mike,
our friend Doug and I caught over 40 each yesterday, using 3 different methods. My favorite was the dry fly action!! We highly suggest you drop everything and get up here pronto, you can see healthy 10lbers right in front of you. We’ve had a customer hook a 8 to 12lber last week and it got off. Come on up and let us guide you into a 20+ fish day!! Jack Trout
530-926-4540 ON DRYS!!!

Could you imagine catching 20 to 40 of these all on dry flies?!! You might catch the elusive, MONICA if you’re lucky, Sizzlers!! But best of all, you’re on the crisp, clear, clean
water of the Trinity Alps, rebooting that computer in your head, possibly remembering childhood days with family and friends that were similar to this…..

Doug here with a small but very hard fighting 1/2 ber. Doug stayed in the same spot for hours cause he could see a school
of very large adults right in front of him!! That’s worth the trip right there, to see the fish you’re fishing for….

Here’s a great view for you! Black Butte (Muirs Peak) and Mt Shasta with a kinda heavenly look. I really like this picture because it stares down on the area where I live just west of Black Butte, between Black Butte and the Eddies.

This is monkshood! It does look like a monk’s hood…. Or like, that hood that Sneezy wears in that movie…. It’s a wild flower that grows up here and was actually used as the wild flower picture of choice, for the Mt Shasta Fourth of July runners race t-shirt in 2002. Every shirt had a monkshood on it! I liked those shirts the best.
If you would like back orders for any year shirts call the Marshalls at 530-926-5651 You can get a cool Mt Shasta shirt!

Out for her first time fly fishing, local Mt Shastain, Fran Cooper and her husband Herb caught nice trout on the McCloud River! I really enjoyed these high quality locals out enjoying their national forest resource. Copper John size 18 is a ringer on the Mccloud right now! Lt. Cahill size 18 for dry… jt

Ready for action! Fran Cooper, you’re my SIZZLER OF THE WEEK AWARD WINNER!! CONGRATULATIONS SIZZLER!!!

Just listed: this vacation rental up for rent, for folks just like yourselves! This is the view from the master bedroom!!! The house is located in a quiet neighborhood within walking distance to downtown. 3 bedrooms 2 baths, sleeps 3 couples comfortably or 4 individuals no problem.
I’ll have all the new pics up this week with four other vacation rental homes available through mtshasta.com vacation property service. This house rents for $150 per night for two people or $175 for 3 or more! Check out this next pic from the deck!!

Here’s the view from the deck of the Eddies!! This home is so sweet, I can’t wait to get all the pics up. Nice big back yard that sides to a creek. Big rooms perfect for entertaining guests or reclining in. If you need a vacation rental call me I
just listed another one near Scarlet Retreat Dunsmuir on the Sac River!!

Thank you for all your emails! I enjoy reading them and responding to your letters with my zaniness! Have a great week Sizzlers and try to make it up if you can! Leave a few tourist dollars up here, and pick up some litter if you see it. Thanks so much. We love having you. Help us take care of this precious resource known to all as the Shasta area. Many Rivers to You, Jack Trout
