Shasta is the area to head to this summer as we have the ice cube that melts come July/ August as temps soar. The frozen little droplet inside of Mount Shasta, we’ll call him Steve, is beginning his metamorphosis through time and delivers himself down the millions of aquafers deep inside the cavities of tubes that assent downward towards the Sacramento Valley. Then from the East side, flowing outward filling all of the Ahjumawi Lava springs some 50 miles or more away that spawn Fall River and several other ancient lakes. Some fear the worst this summer, but I know as a former Real Estate agent at 19 years old that it’s “location-location-location,” Hwy 89 in California for starts.

When you go out fly fishing this year look for area “ice cubes ” and fish accordingly. “Near the source” is vocabulary we should all pay attention to this season and knowing hatches and when they’ll occur is critical. I think hiring a fly fishing guide is of the upmost importance this year as we earn our pay and then some. Fathers and mothers need things to do with their kids and children need hobbies that will pay them back mindfully in the future as the world turns. Nature is brain-jelly, a marmalade of sweetness and tang, another reason to toast the holy ghost and give thanks as we eat our daily bread. We think it’s going to be ok this season fly fishing, but it’s knowing where to be why, and where not to be when, that will ultimately determined the key ingredient – success. After being a guide now for 27 years, I know where anglers should fish and the guides who can help them. Many rivers to you, Jack Trout

FIRE DANGER AND SMOKE IS ELIMINATED AS JULY 7TH, 2021 – MOUNT SHASTA TOURISM UPDATE 🙂

Klamath River July 2021

Mount Shasta is that ice cube, we are so lucky to have a mountain that is the source and determines so much about California’s fate, good or bad. I always am grateful living here next to her and know there’s no place like home.

I am lucky enough to live on lava tube of water from her reservoir, one of those thousand aquafers passing right under the town and surrounding areas, fed by Mount Shasta. Water, water, water = Mount Shasta.

Water might be for fighting over like Mark Twain said, but beer is for loving over. Tried that Fall River Hex Hatch beer yet? Nice beers flowing out of Fall River Brewery, they deserve it all folks. 🙂

The best place to visit when you’re in Mt Shasta if you’re trying to be “local” is Handsome John’s Speak Easy on Chesnut Street. Great food and good people hang out there. John is our beloved Mayor of Mt Shasta and over all cool dude. Only a few understand his fascination for the Redwings or Michigan, but then again any kind of outside culture is interesting when you live in Mt Shasta, good to support your team, Hansome John has passion.(LOL)  Be sure to go by and check out this place, it’s worth it. jt

Quintilus McDowell giving instructions on the river to a family of tourist who called this past week. Everyone caught trout and had a ball, there are still great places to fish in Shasta, but guides are invaluable right now as we know where to take you.

Fish on!

This is my new dog Trinity River!! He’s a border collie from a Oregon ranch. What a great partner out on the rivers.

5 months old.

Her first trout, what a prize for the student from Davis Unversity.

And then in my darkest hour, Murphy, my sisters dog who fell off my bed in March and died in my arms had me so bummed. I started to feel hopeless, fielding a divorce now for over 15 months, a tragedy in the family and more depressing news, a total stranger who some how knew, sent me a message on FB and told me of this dog up in Beatty, Oregon who was a rare 3 colored Border Collie. I drove up the next day and picked him up in the gun totten community, as I watch a young girl with pistol on her side tuck it under her shirt as she entered the post office to pick up her mail.  I named him Trinity River Trout and the next day he was out on the river and passed the test with an A. 🙂 A thousand kisses every morning, what a smart dog. Rekindled my spirits and made me realize, it’s all about the youth now, whether it’s a dog or yourself, stay young as long as you can. Get outdoors people!

Dogs preform better when in uniform, I’m not kidding, remember that tip.

Many beginners coming up to see us this year! 🙂 The Klamath has been spot on!

Looks like Trinity is making new friends, everyone seems to really like him.

Fathers & Daughters coming up to see us as well as Mothers and Sons. So nice to see folks sharing experiences together because that’s what we do. Here at Jack Trout Fly Fishing International, thank you for sharing your family experiences with all of us.

What a beauty!

Over on the McCloud river, access is really tough and the USFS has given up on trying to repair the road down to Ash Camp with both PG&E and the Forestry pointing the figures back and forth, it’s sad the general public loses out and Doug LaMalfa is worthless as a representative yielding solely to ranching, nothing else regarding the McCloud roads is getting done anytime soon to benefit the most important river in the world. sadly to report, everyone is fishing on top of each other. JT

History Of The McCloud River Rainbow Trout

We still provide the best lunches in the industry for group outtings, remember, we guide familes, corporate groups & Hollywood.

What a good dog from day one.

Whooohooo, the Klamath River what a great spring we’re having.

Trinity River enjoying his dog food in the shade.

Ah, a day off. I like heading over to Crave’s and getting thier Nachos Delux. It reminds me of a dish in Chile called Pichangas except they make those with french fries. Views from the deck are fantastic.

Just what the doctor ordered, thank you Crave’s of Mount Shasta, you always deliver.

A good companion while me and pops go do a short shuttle of my trailer.

Lunch time folks.

 

Youth and fly fishing is catching on, kids need hobbies more than ever, we get that.

A trout like this can point youths in the direction of the outdoors and serial travel. The only way to reboot the intel pentium processor in your brain and truly feel free is to embrace nature.

Going down rapids on rivers does it for me everytime.

Pops hooking up in the canyon.

Oh, what a great trout battle we got going on here!

I say hey hey, way to go Joe! 🙂

Trinity Dog, stop having so much fun hanging out calmly, you’re suppose to act like a puppy? Those Border Collies, they sure are smart.

Support local Little League Baseball, kids need activities, sports and that feeling you get when you know you’re apart of something.

My dad always told me growing up, “You can’t run with the big dogs pissing like a puppy.” More appearant as of late.

Making kids and parents dreams come true is what we’re all about, been do it for almost 3 decades.

Other guides now are helping me like always, how we can we assist you? Any where on the planet, we have a fly fishing connection, rely on us, we know how important these trips are and have traveled many oceans to find fly fishing & the guides. JT

When it comes to beginners, we lead the pack in the fly fishing industry.

We have guides coming up the ranks as well as moral support mascots that make you feel good about life and being that side of the lawn. Hey Trinity, pee over here….. 🙂

Good job Lori!

Out with pops, we caught lots that day, the clouds were out and so were the hatches.

I have a new frame for floating that you don’t have to stand while fishing, the only one of it’s kind as all others you have to stand. Keep that in mind for the Fred Astaire in your family.

Nice hook up pops, it’s been great to be out with you and your daughter for 3 days fly fishing.

Nice.

When it comes to group fly fishing for your company, family or Hollywood give us a call. 🙂

We can do just about anything and we aim to please. Team Trout Fly Fishing Guides

A nice pow wow!

Great BS session for sure, make it an annual.

Salmon fly hatch comes and all fun breaks loose.

Trinity River Trout Dog just chills and watches you hook up.

Mount Shasta stands witness to all your adventures.

Golden Stones too.

Dry flies – Salmon Fly Stonefly.

Nymphs – Salmon Fly Nymph.

This new frame that allows clients to sit, has been fantastic this season.

Got a chance to row a client’s boat he had built to show him how to row rivers and stay safe. I was honored to be the one he called on for these trips.

It paid off for them too.
