McCloud River Preserve
Shasta-Trinity National Forest California
Just downstream from Ah-Di-Na the road ends and a trail leads into The Nature Conservancy's McCloud River Preserve. This spectacular stretch of river and canyon has been preserved for its environmental importance, but also because it is such a wonderful place for fly fishing.
The water runs clear and cold year-around, supporting a large population of healthy trout. No bait, barbless hooks, catch and release is the rule here. If the rare Dolly Varden or bull trout survives anywhere in California, it will be here.
