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.

McCloud Reservoir - November 5th, 2009
supplied by: SC Guide Service
RECORDED: 
49 °
FISHING: Good
It felt like winter was around the corner today. When we launched the Jetboat at 930 this morning, the weather did not look like it was going to get any better, and by 3pm it hadn't. My Dad, good friend Guy, and I fished in a steady rain all morning and into the afternoon, but we found a good bite up the river arm of McCloud Reservoir, and we fished it till our fingers were numb. The Trout didn’t seem to care about the 44-degree water, rain, and light wind (which made it colder that it was, high 40's). We caught most of the Rainbow Trout while trolling a Seps dodger with a worm trailer, but we did land a few fish on flies, Seps grubs and a crawdad plug. As long as the snow does not build up the Reservoir will fish well into the winter. I will be back at tomorrow, hopefully the weather will be a bit better, but the forecast is not promising.

McCloud Reservoir - August 8th, 2009
supplied by: SC Guide Service
RECORDED: 
80 °
FISHING: Great
July has been a busy month for me. Not so much for fishing but for family and the house. As we all know the bigger the yard the more work involved, good thing I picked the hottest month on record to work outside HaHa!! The last 10 days have been spent with my immediate family (Brother, Dad, Nephew, Nieces and my Son). We have been fishing McCloud Reservoir and Medicine Lake. The fishing has been great at both places as well as wonderful scenery. The temperatures have dropped from the low 100's to low 80's making life much more pleasant. Browns, Brookies and Rainbow Trout up to 21/2 pound have been the norm and limits are not hard to get. We have be trolling Seps dodgers with 2-inch watermelon grubs very slow .5 to 1.5 mph in an S pattern this will get the offerings down close to 20 feet. We have also been vertically jigging 2 1/2 inch pink Buzz bombs at 20 to 50 feet depending on where the fish have been showing up on my Humminbird Matrix87c. The Fall Salmon season on the Klamath River is just around the corner (late September thru October) so if you have not booked your trip now is a good time. The days fill up fast and the weekend days are the first to go.

McCloud Reservoir - July 1st, 2009
supplied by: SC Guide Service
RECORDED:
95 °
FISHING: Great
McCloud Reservoir is fishing very good right now. Its not hard to limit out, simply trolling a Sep's dodger and a Seps 2-inch grub will do the trick. Trolling slow .7 to 1.3 mph in an S pattern will put the offering in the right zone. The trout ( Rainbows Brookies and Browns) can caught trolling in depths of 15 to 35 feet, all over the lake. Trolling k-7 kwikfish near the bottom will give you a good shot at the Browns. First light until the sun hits the water is the best time to go or later in the evening as the sun get off the water, now that afternoon temperatures are reaching mid 90's.

McCloud Reservoir - June 26th, 2009
supplied by: SC Guide Service
RECORDED:
90 °
FISHING: Good
For the last week I have been fishing the Klamath River and McCloud Reservoir. Both have been fishing good for Trout up to 18 inches. In the river sidedrifting or boucing bait on the bottom, in some of the deeper faster water has been effective. Running plugs has been difficult, due to floating grass, but when you can it has been effective as well. Crawdad plugs or Hotshot worm combos have been my choice. On the reservior, we have been backtrolling hotshots and worms down the McCloud river arm, as well as trolling Seps dodgers with 2-inch watermelon grubs. We picked up a nice Brown Trout yesterday while trolling a K-7 kwikfish (frog pattern) near the bottom at about 30 feet. Fishing is best at first light or later in day as mid day temps are reaching into the 90's.

McCloud Reservoir - November 24th, 2008
supplied by: SC Guide Service
RECORDED:
40 °
FISHING: Great
McCloud Reservoir is kicking out some nice Trout. I fished with my friend Doug his daughter Chelsie and my son Conner this weekend and we landed over 30 Trout, for two days fishing. Trolling Seps Dodgers with a worm trailers worked very well both days. On Sunday, I trollling flies picked up a lot of fish too. Bottom line is that the Trout at McCloud are hungry and are no too hard to catch. The Trout are in the 1/2 pound to 11/2 pound size range but great for the BBQ.

McCloud Reservoir - November 4th, 2008
supplied by: SC Guide Service
RECORDED:
42 °
FISHING: Excellent
The cold rainy weather has not slowed the Trout bite at McCloud Reservoir at all. I took my son Conner fishing on Sunday and we caught and released 20 Rainbow Trout in a few hours of fishing. We caught all the Trout trolling a Seps dodger with a worm trailer. The key to getting bit is going slow (1mph or less) and trolling in an S pattern. Most of the Trout we landed were fat 14 to 16-inchers, we did land a few that were close to 18 inches, and lost a couple that were over 20-inches.
The Klamath River is fishing well for Steelhead now that the Salmon are spawning, glowbugs under an indicator, sidedrifting or bouncing roe, hotshot and worms will catch fish. The rain has not muddied the river and it is flowing at 1350cfs so now is the time to go.

McCloud Reservoir - November 1st, 2008
supplied by: SC Guide Service
RECORDED:
45 °
FISHING: Excellent
Despite the poor weather the fishing at McCloud Reservoir is red hot. I took my friends Jim and Joe yesterday, and we had constant action all afternoon. We dropped the boat in at noon and no more than 100 yards from the dock we had two Rainbow Trout in the boat. The trout were easy pickins as we trolled a Sep's dodgers with a worm trailer thru the surfacing rainbows. Trout were everywhere gorging themselve on midges and caddis flies, that were hatching all afternoon. There were some occasional rain showers, as well as some blustery winds, but for the most part, it was just cool and overcast. We did land a couple of Brown Trout, one on a k-7 kwikfish at a depth of 30 feet on the downrigger, the other was on the dodger. Most of the Rainbows were in 14 to 17-inch range with a few smaller ones and a few bigger ones mixed in. Now is the time to go to McCloud once the snow starts it becomes very difficult to get into the lake.

McCloud Reservoir - September 14th, 2006
supplied by: SC Guide Service
RECORDED:
85 °
FISHING: Excellent
I have been fishing with family and friends for the last week at McCloud Reservoir and the fishing has been fantastic. I spent four days on the water and we hooked over 100 Trout, bringing 90 of them to the net. Yesterday, we landed 18 and that was the lowest total of the four days. The best day was last Thursday and we boated 40 Trout. Who says you can't catch fish on a full moon. Slow trolling (.8 to 1.5mph) a Sep's dodger with a fly (woolley booger bugger) or a worm was the ticket. The fish are not hard to find, they are hanging just off the points, right out from the boat launch in the main body of the lake. The morning bite is better than the afternoon bite, but you can catch fish all day. The river arm is holding a lot of fish, but the water is very clear you need have a stealthy approach. The Rainbow Trout are in great shape, most of the Trout we caught and released were 15-inches or better. The biggest Trout was 2 pounds and close to 20 inches.

***Fall Salmon season (Photo 2005 season) on the Klamath River is just around the corner. Last year, Salmon started showing up in the Hornbrook area around the 15th of September and lasted about a month. The early part of the season was the best time. This season will be much different than past seasons. The limit will be two jacks (Salmon under 22 inches) and one Steelhead (over 16 inches). Salmon and Steelhead cards will be required to fish in the river. The cost is about $6.50 for both. In light of the new restrictions, I will offer a discount for those that book a trip early. Call 530 905 0758. Dates available Sept 20-29, October 2-6, 8-15
***Steelhead season will follow directly after the Salmon season (November & December--Photo 2005 season) and if you book a trip early I will offer a discount as well.
***I am offering fishing trips to Eagle Lake. The fishing gets better as the weather starts to get worse. Last years trip after Thanksgiving the average Trout weighed close to four pounds and we caught 35 of them (Photo). So if your interested in catching 2 to 8 pound Trout give me a call 530 905 0758.

McCloud Reservoir - July 3rd, 2006
supplied by: SC Guide Service
RECORDED:
90 °
FISHING: Excellent
The Vermeere family had quite a day on the Reservoir. When it was all said and done the group landed 25 of 35 Trout. Most of the Trout were of the Rainbow variety. They did land two other species of Trout, one Brookie and one Brown. Trolling, jigging and plugs were all successful methods with the hotshot/worm combo landing most of the Trout on the day. We trolled a Sep's kick-dodger and a worm in the morning out near the dam and picked up a few fish, then we jigged a buzzbomb in the same area for a few more( The Brookie and Brown both were caught while jigging). Then we headed up the McCloud River and finished off the day hooking over 20 nice Trout. Back-trolling a size 50 hotshot/worm combo was the hot method of the day. I'd like to thank Arnim, Bill, John, Robyn and William for a great day you all kicked some serious Trout butt!!!!!!
********The Klamath River is finally under 2000cfs (1970), the section below the Irongate hatchery should now be fishable. The water has been on a steady drop for the last few days so now is the time, before it drops below 1000cfs.
