Our friend Carl joined us for a day on the McCloud River Preserve.   Carl is an excellent photographer and in exchange for showing him a thing or two on the river, he shot some pics for Wild Waters Fly Fishing.  Here is just a few but you can see more on our Facebook page.  http://www.facebook.com/pages/Wild-Waters-Fly-Fishing/215689761788150

We got off work early and had to make a few cast with the new Freestyle Walker Golden Stone. Maybe it was the fly, maybe it was the spot, maybe it was the angler. SEE A FEW MORE BIG BROWNS HERE!

Hot weather heats up the McCloud River. It depends on who you ask, but if you ask me I say she is fishing pretty good. Another Big Brown for the Hall of Fame. Are you wishing you were fishing too?

Fish On!  McCloud River dry fly fishing 8/6/11

Fish On! McCloud River dry fly fishing 8/6/11

Kim fished almost all dry flies, and might I add she fished them well.  This girl casts a beautiful loop.  She marched through some of the toughest terrain the McCloud has to offer and earned herself a good number of fish. That is not easy!

I’d hire Emma as a guide. She is a third generation Fly Fisher, and her father’s favorite fishing partner. By the way, we saw two more monster browns, one of them swims hauntingly in my dreams. Damn I wanted her to land that beast.

Today I worked for the McCloud river famous, Ron Hart.  We fished through the heat of the day.  A few fish swam up to eat the dry but most were caught below the surface.  I had a great time on the water with Jim and Kevin.  Thanks so much for having me guys.  >>See more pics
