McCloud Reservoir - January 8th, 2012
supplied by: SC Guide Service
RECORDED: 
45 °
FISHING: Excellent
McCloud Reservoir is the Winter Hot Spot for outstanding Trout fishing. Conner and I fished Friday and Saturday and landed over 80 Trout. We trolled lots of different set ups and they all caught Trout. On Friday, were trolled Seps dodgers (police car, hot pink blades) with Seps's grubs (white and watermelon, brown), spoons and worm trailers. On Saturday, we trolled floating broken back rapalas with nearly the same success. Fishing out towards the dam in the top 20 feet of the water column between speeds of .5 and 1.5 MPH in an S pattern was our key to steady action both days. The weather was outstanding and we practically had the entire lake to ourselves!!

McCloud Reservoir - October 25th, 2011
supplied by: SC Guide Service
RECORDED: 
60 °
FISHING: Excellent
Fishing at McCloud Reservoir is still red hot. After being away for 5 weeks fishing the Klamath River for Salmon, I had a scheduled trip to fish my clients Chuck and Marsha Colwell of Camarillo Ca at the reservoir. They were not disappointed with their first McCloud experience, landing 30 Rainbow Trout up to 2 pounds, while trolling Sep's kick dodgers with worm trailors. The Trout are holding in the the top 20 feet all over around the reservoir, with the best spots being in the main body channel. Surface temps around the lake are 43 to 49 degrees so trolling slow in an S pattern is key. If you are trolling faster than 1.5 mph you going to fast. Fishing close to shore in 30 to 60 feet of water and off the points were productive. McCloud fishes very well all through the winter but be advised to check to the weather reports once it begins to snow. The road to reservoir is only plowed to the base of the hill so access is cut off.

McCloud Reservoir - September 23rd, 2011
supplied by: SC Guide Service
RECORDED:
80 °
FISHING: Excellent
The Trout fishing could not have been much better. My guys Dave Dennis Rob and Tom caught Trout all day long. We trolled Seps dodgers and worms and landed 70 Trout in the 1/2 pound to 2 pound class. We had 34 fish by noon then took a little break and moved up near the river then found a huge school and proceeded to land another 36 before it was time to get off the water. Just an outstanding day all around constant action and great weather.

McCloud Reservoir - September 1st, 2011
supplied by: SC Guide Service
RECORDED:
80 °
FISHING: Excellent
Limiting out for Trout at McCloud Reservoir is easy pickings. Last trip, my clients and I fished from 4:30pm until dark, and we landed over 20 Trout. Many of the Rainbow Trout were in the 10 to 15 inch range, a few were pushing 20 inches. We did have one Trout that was easily over 20 inches hammer our offer as the sun went down, but as many big fish do when it saw the boat and net, it spit the hook. We landed all out Trout while trolling Sep's Strike king dodger with a worm trailer. Trolling slow (.5mph to 1.3mph) along the points and drops offs in 20 to 35 feet of water were the keys to getting bit.
***Salmon Season on the Klamath River (Below Irongate Reservoir east of I-5) will be starting in the coming weeks give me call 530 905 0758 to book a trip, I have days during the week and a couple of weekend days still available****

McCloud Reservoir - July 28th, 2011
supplied by: SC Guide Service
RECORDED:
85 °
FISHING: Excellent
Fishing at McCloud has been excellent for the last month. I have been fishing clients and family the last few trips and they have been landing between 20 and 30 trout (Browns and Rainbows) per Trip. Trolling Seps dodgers or plugs such as rebel crawdad and jigging buzzbombs have been working really well. Fishing has been good throughout the whole day with early morning and later in the day being the optimal times.

McCloud Reservoir - August 19th, 2010
supplied by: SC Guide Service
RECORDED: 
90 °
FISHING: Excellent
The fishing at McCloud Reservoir for the past 6 weeks has been outstanding. I have been fishing clients, family, friends and we all have been amazed at the abundance of Trout and beautiful scenery. All methods of fishing have produced nice Brown and Rainbow Trout from 6-inches to 25-inches, most being in the 12 to 18-inch range. Today was no exception, my Dad (who has been feeling pretty good lately) and I fished all through the afternoon and into the evening and we landed 5 nice Brown Trout the biggest being over 20-inches and 4 pounds. We also landed many smaller Rainbow Trout while trolling Seps dodgers with a woolly bugger. Jigging a Buzzbomb over suspended Trout enticed two of the Browns to bite. The other 3 Browns were caught while trolling slow and deep with flies and the Seps dodgers. Now that school is back in the Reservoir will being seeing much less traffic making the fishing even better. McCloud will fish well into winter as long as the snow allows access.
***Salmon Season on the upper Klamath River is just around corner we should start seeing Salmon sometime around mid September, last season we landed a fish on September 11 and by the 15th the river was fishing steady for Salmon all thru October***

McCloud Reservoir - July 28th, 2010
supplied by: SC Guide Service
RECORDED:
90 °
FISHING: Great
The Reservoir and the River are in great shape and kicking out some nice trout. Trolling Seps dodgers with either grubs or worms will nail you an easy limit. If you are in the river, back trolling small hotshots with worm trailors or bouncing bait as well as swinging flies will produce some nice wild rainbows. Getting any early start is best, when the sun hits the water the fish go deeper and the bite slows down.

McCloud Reservoir - July 14th, 2010
supplied by: SC Guide Service
RECORDED:
90 °
FISHING: Excellent
It has been a while since my last report partly due to weather and partly due to my Dads battle with cancer. So far after 13 weeks of chemotherapy we are on the winning side of the battle. I got my Dad out today and in 3 plus hours of fishing we caught and released 18 wild rainbow trout. Dad landed 12 of the 18, which was pretty great. The biggest Trout was close to 20 inches and 3 pounds. All the Trout were caught while back trolling a size 50 hotshot with a worm trailer, in the gin clear water of the McCloud River arm of the reservoir . The weather is on the warm side (90's), but you could not ask for any better fishing weather, a slight cool breeze, sunny and warm. The best part is all the hungry trout. If you have the time I highly recommend getting up here and experiencing McCloud you will not be disappointed.

McCloud Reservoir - April 4th, 2010
supplied by: SC Guide Service
RECORDED: 
0 °
FISHING: Good
Fishing has been slow on the Klamath river the last month but should pic as the weather warms up and the stoneflies start to move around. My last trip was last Sunday on Mccloud and my clients landed 20 trout while trolling seps dodgers and worms. I am in Denver at a family function and will be back Wednesday. I have also been dealing with some medical issues concerning my Dad so I am hoping we will see some progress there soon. Sending good thoughts my Dads way would be greatly appreciated!!

McCloud Reservoir - November 7th, 2009
supplied by: SC Guide Service
RECORDED: 
55 °
FISHING: Excellent
The day did not look promising as we dropped the boat into McCloud Reservoir. As soon as we rolled into the launching area and began prepping the boat to drop it into the water, Mother Nature let loose, so for the first few hours, we trolled for brown trout in a steady rain. We went 1 for 3 on the browns while trolling k-7 kwikfish between 30 and 40 feet deep. The weather began to break and we were blessed for the rest of the day with cloud cover and some spotty sun, as well as excellent fishing. We moved out into the main body of the lake and began trolling Seps dodger with worm trailers and for rest of the day we had either had a bite or a fish on. Bill Bob and John landed close to 30 Trout on day of those 20 something Trout 3 were Browns, which was the goal of the trip from the start. The guys went 3 for 6 on Browns none of which were real big, but we did have a couple they looked good but didn’t stay hooked. McCloud is low but full of hungry Trout and as long as the snow does not build up and block the road it will be great fishing.
