The Nordic Center – located just down the road from the Mount Shasta Ski Park – offers families and aerobic athletes another winter option – it’s the perfect place to go for a winter picnic and a quick (and aerobically healthy) ski tour among the pines.
Simply put, it’s another beautiful place in Siskiyou County to visit.
Area skiers are skiing comfortably now, and waiting for more snow to fall.
While fly fishing the Upper Sacramento River in winter can be a humbling experience, local fly fishing guide Wayne proved it’s sometimes worth it.
On Tuesday, he landed a 27″ Brown trout on the upper half of the river, and managed to snap a couple photos of what some would consider the Brown Trout of a Lifetime.
He was fishing a #2 black woolly bugger (a streamer type fly) just as the river was starting to come up (due to rain and snow melt). With the rising waters stirring up the fish, that’s not a bad time to fish a big streamer and see what’s biting.
In this case, what was biting was plenty big enough.
Ready to take a tour of the Upper Klamath’s birding possibilities? This wonderful video takes you on an armchair ride through what is one of the USA’s most interesting birding areas – the Upper Klamath:
Here’s what the producer had to say:
This video gives a glimpse at a few of the multitude of bird species that can be found in the Upper Klamath Basin of Oregon and California in early April. Virtually all the birds migrating on the Pacific Flyway come through this area in the spring and fall. The largest group of bald eagles in the lower 48 states assembles here during the winter. Many species are residents year-around. The Klamath Basin Birding Trail was created to help visitors find the widest array of bird species possible. This area is truly a bird-watchers paradise.
