Trips on Northern California Rivers
February 9th – 15th
What a week! We started out with an epic afternoon on the Pit River which during any other time of year would have been fantastic. To experience catching fish after fish in the dead of winter was just too good to believe. On an afternoon on the Upper Sac we did not have the epic proportions, finding fewer fish but all were sizable, most well into the teens.
This week the bite on the Klamath turned on for us as well, particularly when we swung flies, on a few runs we enjoyed multiple grabs. We are in the midst of prime time with increased water temps and spring like weather. Just before the weekend, Scott and George found several fish including a couple brutes.

Fly Fishing Guides in the Mount Shasta area have some of the most challenging wading on the planet. Rivers including the Pit, McCloud and Upper Sacramento are located in canyons with steep gradients creating strong currents which combined with bowling ball sized slippery rocks offer a great testing ground for waders, boots and wading staffs.
Introduction to Backcountry Skiing
If you are a resort skier looking beyond the boundaries to find the fresh snow, this is the place to start. The day will be a discussion and practice of the skills necessary for you to experience the joy of backcountry skiing and boarding. Randonne, telemark, or splitboard gear; skinning, powder seeking, avalanche awareness, etc will all be discussed as we travel through the snow covered Mount Shasta Backcountry.
