Burney is at the center of the finest blue ribbon water
in the state. Baum Lake, Burney Falls, Cassel, Lake
Britton, Hat Creek, Pit River, Manzanita Lake, McCloud
River, and Fall River are all within easy driving
distance.
One
of our state’s treasures is Burney Falls St. Park, a
wonderful location for our September fishout. At the
time of the fishout the park campground does not take
reservations; it is on a first-come, first-served basis.
This should not be a problem at this time of year.
The
reasons I’m excited about this Fishout are the superb
fishing and beautiful surroundings. Rainbows and Browns
are typically caught in September. Some of the hatches
include Salmon Flies, Golden Stones, PMDs, Green Drakes,
Mahogany Duns, Sedges, Midges, Blue Winged Olives and
Trico Spinners
We
will make our base at McArthur-Burney Falls Memorial
State Park campground. 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,
Baum Lake, Manzanita Lake, and others. There are also
three fly shops with plenty of flies and information.
