McCall/Cascade Area
Welcome to McCall in the Fall - Sponsored by BVFF
This is the outline of our outing on September 11th to 14th. Come when you can and learn about the fishing in this mountain area. Hopefully the weather will cool and the skies beautiful!
As you register for the outing, we will provide more details on the exact locations, times and conditions. We will be using email as the primary means of communication, however, I would like to publish a list of members attending that includes mobile phone numbers. This will facilitate the formation of groups for fishing. We encourage fishing in small groups.
Lodging:
Now is the time to confirm your lodging plans. There are numerous hotels, rentals and campsites available in the area. One RV/Camping area is Ponderosa State Park - make reservations at getoutside.idaho.gov. I plan on tent camping (free primitive camping) at Boulder Meadow Reservoir. ID 55 to Elo Road (one mile south of McCall). Elo Rd east for 3 miles to Boulder Lake Rd. Boulder Lake Rd for 4 miles to the reservoir.
What about fishing?
McCall Angler/Drift West fly shop at 616 N 3rd St#115 McCall ID. https://themccallangler.com/ . I would recommend you all visit this shop to learn about local fishing spots along with purchasing flies and equipment. I have experienced my best fishing results (when fishing a new and unfamiliar area) when I visit a local fly shop, purchase a map and flies, and ask where I should go to catch.
I plan on fishing Louie Lake (“trophy” lake) for Cutthroat, Shaw Twin Lakes for Grayling, and Boulder Lake (Rainbow and Cutthroat). These lakes are located in the general area I will be camping. They each require a moderate hike to access. I will be carrying a packable float tube although shore fishing is good for these waters. For those who want to drive to a fishing spot, I recommend Brundage Reservoir and Goose Lake, although water levels might be low in September. For beginners, I recommend Browns Pond and Scout Pond which are both stocked. You should be able to find all of these waters using Google maps. There are 100’s of waters to fish near Long Valley.
We are working on setting up a conservation project where you can choose to volunteer to assist IDFG conduct an electrofish survey of a local McCall water.
Again, updates and information will be forwarded to those who register.
See you on the water in McCall with BVFF!
