Both the Upper Sac, and McCloud rivers offer some of the most beautuful scenery and productive year round fly fishing in the west. With sections of pocked water that flow into an endless number of emerald pools, one after another. The river banks are covered with elephant ears and native grasses, while the canyons walls are lined with dense forest of hardwoods and evergreens. Caddis, stoneflies, mayflies and midges can be found on the rocks, on surrounding vegetation and dancing in the air over both these rivers. These insects provide an ever present source of food for not only the resident rainbows and browns as well as the larger browns that migrate up the McCloud from Lake Shasta in the Fall.
