Site information
Contact and site information
This is a small reading site about two rivers. It sells nothing, arranges nothing and collects nothing. What follows is who publishes it, how to reach them and how corrections are handled.
In short
Write to contact@mccloudflyfishing.com. Corrections with a source are welcome and are the fastest way to improve a page. There is no form, no newsletter and no account.
Getting in touch
The single address for everything is contact@mccloudflyfishing.com. Messages about factual errors are read first, particularly anything concerning access, regulations or river conditions, since those are the pages where being out of date does real harm.
If you write about a fact, a short note about where the correct information comes from is worth more than a long explanation. A publication, an agency document or a first hand observation with a date all help.
Who publishes this
Publisher
A private individual, publishing on a personal and non-commercial basis
Purpose
Reading notes about the rivers between Mount Shasta and Shasta Lake, in Northern California
Nature of the site
Editorial only. Nothing is sold, booked, arranged or advertised
How these pages are written
Three rules govern the writing, and they explain most of the choices a reader will notice.
- Numbers that change are explained, not quoted. Flows, bag limits and season dates are described in terms of how they work and where the current figure is published, because a number printed here would be wrong within a season.
- Every page carries the date it was last checked. That is a review date, not a publication date, and it appears at the foot of the page and in the summary lists.
- Where something is uncertain, the page says so. Access arrangements and local rules change, and a confident sentence about a closed road helps nobody.
A word on what this site is not
These pages describe rivers, insects, water and rules. They are not a substitute for the current California freshwater sport fishing regulations, for the notices posted by the agencies that manage the land, or for your own judgement about wading a cold canyon river. Both of these rivers are steep, fast and slippery, and the risk of a bad fall is real.
Data and technical notes
This site is a set of static HTML files. It uses no cookies, runs no analytics, embeds no third party scripts or fonts, and loads nothing from another domain. Nothing about a visit is recorded here beyond whatever ordinary server logs the hosting provider keeps for its own operation.
If you write by email, the address you write from is used to answer you and for nothing else.
Text and images
The text on this site was written for it. Short quotations with a link back are welcome. Wholesale copying is not, and it is easy to spot.
Images are illustrative of the country and the conditions described, and are not documentary records of a specific place on a specific day. Where a page describes a named access point or a named campground, the words carry the information and the picture does not.
Where to look next
If you arrived looking for current river conditions, start with how to read a fishing report, which lists the public sources that publish today's flow and temperature. If you arrived looking for rules, start with the regulations section. Everything else is listed on the site map.
