The Fall fishing looks so promising with early rain storms in August and weather that seems to be cycling into a rainy Autumn.

Water levels have remained high this entire spring and summer, I am still rafting the Upper Sac on the lower sections.

A lot of great pocker water on the Upper Sacramento River, with these flows the trout are happy and insects are all over by 9 am.

What a great dry fly year on most rivers in Northern California, high water years can do that folks.

My client sure loves his trips and always seem to have a bamboo rod ready for his endeavors in the great outdoors.

We sure have a lot of freeflowing water up here around Shasta, we’d like share it with all of you.

Water for the entire State of California starts up high here in the Mount Shasta, McCloud and Dunsmuir areas,  these same rivers we fly fish feed the states economy.

I’ve been getting a lot of beginners lately, this is a good thing as people need new hobbies more than ever.

Lots of wild trout here and catching them on dry flies is the way to go.

I’m running a deal this month, buy two trips for for $900 or $450 per day. That’s for one or two people. I see some guides charging $700 per day? I hope that inspires s0me of you this fall and winter.

I really been getting some great trout hookups!

Went up to Portland to see ELO in their final concert tour, what a great concert and Portland sure is a fine town.

Here’s what I wrote about my experience in the Portland Tribune –  https://www.portlandtribune.com/opinion/opinion-visitor-applauds-portlands-pleasant-welcoming-atmosphere/article_896e803e-6b1a-11ef-9dc0-5b6decac057a.html?fbclid=IwY2xjawFICL5leHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHXhWQJ2-87HXwwGKNLNaz0CcVC1K1U3Xa86Fl4Gce9FJOJAH-jGIxHstlg_aem_MFXgq90UIX3r9hkGhQmEYQ

Had a few beers at Jack’s and I seemed to feel right at home. when you stay in Portland stay at the Jupiter Hotel, it’s a wonderful place and you can’t beat the location in town.

Meanwhile back at the ranch… More trout being hooked and smaller bugs was the ticket.

Upper and Lower McCloud Rivers fishing well right now. 🙂

In my 30th year I hope to see you up here or down. This is a special season with plenty of water.

Whether you want to float or wade, I got you covered.

Good on ya!

Remember the best Classic American Cheeseburger in the World is at FLOYD’S in McCloud, California.

I had the honor of taking out the California Sheriff’s Association the other day. Nothing makes me feel more prideful and proud than to be honored as their fly fishing guide in Northern California. Thank you Sheriff’s for all you do!! jt

Matt Kendall from Mendocino is one of the nicest Sheriff’s as well as great human being and outdoorsman. I’ve gotten to spend time with him and I have found him to have a Andy Taylor meets Curt Gowdy quality of about him that makes me always happy when I hear he is my upcoming guide trip. California is lucky to have Sheriff’s like him.

Over on the McCloud things are looking good for fall. The rivers has cleared up and is ready for our adventures!

They always have the best rainbows and browns there this time of year. 🙂

Oh say do you see, by the dawns early lights!! Whoohoooo, McCloud River, my country tis of thee, sweet land of liberty.  What a great country we live in folks. God bless you all, Jack Trout

Klamath Update – All 4 dams are taken out and the river is flowing free again. It won’t be long until the Upper Sections will be ready for us. I will be guiding the Middle Klamath and Trinity Rivers this fall and winter, so get your dates!

This is how the Klamath is starting to look now, this will be great folks and last I heard the salmon were smiling down river in Witchepec. (Salmon rolling now)
