I believe that protecton didn't help the Dollys. I think that the last one
caught was quite awhile ago.

I enjoyed reading about Kamchatka (and all of the other places)
in the Fly
Shop catalog. It's also interesting how far out of their way
they go to let
you know how far out in the sticks Redding CA is! Almost like
they've got a complex or something.

Hmm,
The last time I was in Redding it was on Interstate 5, a few
hours from San Francisco. Someone must have moved it.
There is some great trout fishing below and above Shasta Lake.
The McCloud river runs into Shasta Lake and that's where the
Rainbow Trout came from that were transported all over the world.
The McCloud river is formed by snow melt from Mount Shasta.
There is a place called Big Springs where icy water gushes from a
lava tube coming from Mount Shasta and doubles the size of the
McCloud. I waded upstream across that flow without boots one
summer and had no feeling left in my legs by the time I got
across.
I caught and released a six inch Dolly Varden in the McCloud.
The only one I have ever seen. They were very scarce and
protected at the time. It was a beautiful trout.
You can see Mount Shasta for 100 miles when you drive up
Interstate 5 toward Redding.
