I had a really fun day with my guests Nate and his daughter Paulina.  This was their first time fishing the McCloud and I think they were overwhelmed by the beauty.  Fishing a dry-dropper was very productive in the morning with a pretty equal number of takes on both flies.  After lunch, there were lots of caddis around so we switched to an Elk Hair Caddis and the number of grabs was insane!  Even for as hot as it was today, we found the best way to beat the heat was to wade the McCloud!
