An epic day on McCloud Reservoir finished off the past week of fishing. Shasta Lake and Lake Siskiyou produced some beautiful Brown and Rainbow Trout for my clients ealier in the week, but McCloud made Jim's 70th birthday an extra special one. The action was non stop and by early afternoon the fish count was well over 50, the majority of which were released. All today's trout were Rainbows and they sure were fiesty and obviously hungry. The weather and water were especially gorgeous today.

The weather is fabulous right now. Air temperatures are 40 to 80 degrees. All the lakes I fish McCloud, Shasta, Siskiyou and Whiskeytown are producing fish. Give me a call and lets put a together. I can take of everything including food and lodging. You just need to get yourself here 

**Be aware the water is low at McCloud Reservoir and no I don't know why, but the ramp may be unusable, if they drop the lake more**

Enjoy the pictures then give me a call 530 905 0758 or book online at Caldwellfishing.com
