Burney Area

Yeah, I know, we’re
in the dog days of summer and some of our N. California Rivers and Lakes are
fishing great. But, as the cool
nights of Fall come, the fish will be looking up at flies a little more.
One of our state’s
treasures is Burney Falls St. Park, a special place for me.
I’ll never forget my first visit there, seeing the falls, my first
Salmon Fly hatch, and catching beautiful wild trout. The reasons I’m
excited about this Fishout are the superb fishing and beautiful surroundings.
Large Rainbows and Browns are typically caught in October.
Some of the hatches include October Caddis, a multitude of other Caddis,
midges, and Blue Winged Olives. We will make our
base at McArthur-Burney Falls Memorial State Park. There are also motels in the town of Burney, about 10 miles
away. From our base, there are
literally six or more quality waters: Burney
Creek, Hat Creek, Pit River, Fall River, McCloud River, Manzanita Lake, and
others. There are also three fly
shops with plenty of flies and information. Please
contact Karl Wolff at kwolff@qwestonline.com
or (916) 719-0860 if you want to sign up or have any questions. Camping
reservations will not be required and are not taken. I will arrange to
have our campsites in the same area. There will be a sign up sheet at the
general meeting. Here
are some helpful links and phone numbers: McArthur-Burney
