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.
