Follow either the Lower Salt Creek or Conflict Point Roads. Lakeshore Drive, in the Lakehead area, follows the shoreline of the Sacramento River arm for about eight miles. There is some private property along this road. Please respect the owner's rights. Gilman Road follows the McCloud arm for about ten miles.
Numerous opportunities occur to get to the shoreline.
There is also a shoreline trail between Hirz Bay and Dekkas Rock Campground. The Sacramento River Arm, Dry Fork, Little Squaw Creek and Big Backbone Creek will usually produce some rainbows. During early spring, before the water temperatures start warming up, bank anglers can usually catch rainbows, brown and chinook salmon in the areas listed above. Trolling at depths of 30' to 70' seems to be effective. During the summer it is advisable to use a diving plane or 18 to 26 pound test lead core line.
