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.

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.
