Eagle Canyon: , by Andrew Harris: Project Healing Waters: 3 stars We hosted the Shasta-Trinity chapter of Project Healing Waters today at Eagle Canyon. This is our 3rd or 4th year in a row now and it's always a fun day. Ron Saiki, local Project Healing Waters Program Coordinator, had the following to say: "There was a terrific mayfly hatch with adults all over the surface
of the water. Fish were taking what looked like emergers but we had no
luck fishing them or adults. They looked like BWO’s. A variety of flies seem to work… the
usual red and black 16-18 midge pupae, black bunny leeches, wooly
buggers. One of our participants stripped a dark olive bugger with a burnt orange/orange
crystal flash collar throughout the day. He landed 7 plus and hooked
even more. Blew everyone away. We’re tying these for the next trip. As
terrific as Eagle Canyon is for catching large trout on a fly, equally
as good is just sitting by the shed and dining area relaxing and
enjoying the day."
