he Upper Sacramento River, Siskiyou, CA, is a premier freestone trout stream, primarily supporting wild rainbow and brown trout. Its cold, clear, oxygenated waters are ideal for fly fishing, with nymphing and dry fly presentations (matching prevalent stonefly, caddis, mayfly hatches) being highly effective in its varied runs and pools. Water levels and clarity are driven by snowmelt and precipitation; checking flow gauges is critical. Access is excellent via roadside. Adherence to CDFW regulations, often emphasizing catch-and-release for wild trout, is crucial for preserving this vibrant mountain fishery
