October 2010 Our first big storm of the season arrived last weekend with wind and rain that provided freshets and improved fishing for steelhead on the Klamath and Trinity and trophy trout on the Lower Sac and Fall River but dampened the bite on our local freestones, the McCloud, Upper Sac and Pit.

With fair and much warmer weather in the forecast it appears even better fishing is arriving this weekend.
