It’s been a while since we’ve had a truly wet October. I was fortunate enough to catch the eye of the storm up in Plumas County which allowed me to fish the MFFR for a few hours. The canyon was at it’s fall prime with beautiful shades of yellow, orange, red, and green.

Fall On The MFFR

Nature’s Beautiful Transition

The flows have gone up to spring-run off levels which is amazing. The river is at least two feet higher than the last time I was there in September, any higher and I would have just gone home. Wading was tough, the flows were up, and the water was moving fast but I still managed to find a few hungry fish. In hindsight I should have brought my 3WT but the 2WT managed just fine. I saw a few caddis and BWOs coming off which was a good sign. Fly fishing Plumas County in the fall is simply the best.
