SPECIAL REGULATIONS FOR CALIFORNIA WATERS

​

Current River Conditions:  49 CFS and clear. 

Fishing - Good to Very Good: Todd at Creekside Lodge in Markleeville CA reports that the flows dropped a bunch and so did the water temperature which should get the fish to be more active. The best news is that the CDFG planted a week ago and the county planted  fish in the one to two pound range last night (Thursday) so there are lots of fish in the river. 

We fished the river on Friday and did extreemly well.  The secret is finding where the fish were planted.  It doesn't take a rocket sceintist to figure that out.  Be prepared for the posibility of moonsoonal thunderstorms if you go.  This is dry fly tijme and great flies to try are Hoppers, Elk Hair Caddis, Royal Wulffs and floating Ant Patterns.    ​
