Our destination is Northern California and the beautiful and lush McCloud River, home of the most widely distributed trout in the world, the McCloud Rainbow, and the birthplace of tight line nymphing.  With expert guide and fly angler, Greg Kennedy, Fish Kennedy Brothers.  Designated a wild and scenic river, the McCloud is a remote and magical place.   Greg covers top hatches, flies and techniques, public access including the Nature Conservancy property, plus stories of Golden Dorado in Bolivia, airborne steelhead, and the famous Bollibokka club.  Stick around to the end for a great tip on a local restaurant where you can tie flies while you order a beer.  Bonus:  Greg also gives us the lowdown on the Pitt and the Upper Sac.   With host, Steve Haigh Pictures of the McCloud River and Greg’s top fly picks: @DestinationAnglerPodcast on Instagram and Facebook About Greg Kennedy and his guide service Fish Kennedy Brothers  https://www.fishkennedybrothers.com/ Email:   [email protected] Facebook, Instagram @FishKennedyBrothers The Fly Shop Or, you can book a trip with Greg through The Fly Shop in Redding, CA:  https://www.theflyshop.com/ Please check out our Sponsors: Outfishers.com - Shop the largest collection of used fly rods anywhere.  The trusted source for pre-owned fly rods.  https://outfishers.com/  Instagram @outfishers Facebook @OutfishersUsedFlyRods Trout Routes - the #1 Trout Fishing app, helping you find new trout water so you spend less time on the road and more time fishing.  https://troutinsights.com/ | Facebook @troutinsights Instagram @TroutRoutes  Angler’s Coffee - elevating the coffee experience for the fly-fishing community & anglers everywhere with small-batch coffee delivered to your doorstep.  https://anglerscoffee.com/   | Facebook & Instagram @anglerscoffeeco    Destination Angler: The Destination Angler Website and Show Notes:   http://destinationangler.libsyn.com/ Get updates and pictures of destinations covered on each podcast: @DestinationAnglerPodcast on Instagram and Facebook Join in the conversation with the @DestinationAnglerConnection group on Facebook.
