BIG browns in the Preserve // Fly Fishing McCloud

After two failed attempts, I finally got my flies into the lower McCloud at the Nature Conservancy's Kerry Landreth Preserve.

The talk about the Mac is stuff of legends. Whispers of myths. Real life fish stories.

I'm here to tell you, the hype is true. It's a crazy beautiful river and the fish are many and they aren't small.

Flies used:
#8 Green Ice Dredger on point
#12 Sexy Walt's Worm on dropper
