Winter Fly Fishing on the Upper Sacramento River Challenging, Fun

While many of the state’s trout waters are closed until next year, the Upper Sacramento River is open to catch & release fishing during the winter months.

While winter fishing can be challenging, local bamboo fly rod builder Chris Raine proves big fish can be caught:

Fly Fishing the Upper Sacramento River

Right now, the remnants of the October Caddis hatch are still flying, and on certain days you can catch trout on tiny Blue Winged Olive dry flies. And yes, the Upper Sacramento River is largely deserted.

See you on the water!

Snow Falls On Mount Shasta, Skiers Rejoice, But Cautious

Siskiyou County’s skiers wait for the first snow of the season the same way children wait for Christmas.

Several inches of snow fell in Mount Shasta on Friday, and rumor has it a few hardy souls made their way up the mountain and carved a few turns.

First real snow of the year.

First real snow of the year.

It’s far too early to declare ski season open (this snow could easily melt off, and early storms are often not followed by any more snowstorms for a month or more), but the backcountry skiers are happy, and it’s an encouraging sign.

Winter Mountaineering, Skiing Yet to Begin on Mount Shasta. Here’s Something to Tide the Powder Hounds Over…

Though the first real snowstorm of the winter is yet to hit Mount Shasta, backcountry skiers are already getting antsy – waiting for the snow to fall, the mountain to turn white, and the epic days to begin.

For those who can’t wait for a fix, we present a YouTube video filmed in 2007. Nice footage, great soundtrack, and plenty of the precious white stuff:
