Mud Creek silting the McCloud River below the dam McCloud River Fly Fishing Guides are bummed!

Water at Ah Di Na is less turbid because of contributions of clear water from tributaries, including Hawkins Creek at Ash Camp. Clarity at Ah Di Na is currently about a foot and half and is marginally fishable according to local guide Rick Cox.
