Catching a lot of trout fishing from boats or the shore. Average size 10-15 inches and they are biting on mostly anything. All areas of the lake are good right now. Bass are starting to come out now too with the warmer weather. McCloud Reservoir - Fishing is fair, the lake is in decent shape.
Baitfish patterns can drum up some big browns here.
Must have items at this lake are floating line with small P.T.'s under an indicator with a midge pupa dropper and an intermediate to fast sinking line with leeches, buggers and damsel nymphs. If you're in this area and looking for some new water try Iron Canyon Reservoir. Early morning hours fishing well. Dry and dropper technique is a good choice. Wading difficult, and lots of hatchery fish.
