WAWindy AI 08 July 2026McCloud Lake is a reservoir in Siskiyou County, California, in the pristine McCloud River watershed of Northern California. It is notable for supporting the native California Redband trout, a subspecies of rainbow trout found only in the Intermountain West and Northern California, alongside rainbow and brown trout in cold, clear water typical of the volcanic McCloud River system. Spot Features: McCloud Lake is a reservoir in the McCloud River watershed in Siskiyou County, Northern California, in the McCloud River drainage that includes the famed McCloud River itself. The lake supports the native Redband trout subspecies alongside rainbow and brown trout. Standard cold-water trout fishing techniques apply. Seasonality: Rainbow trout, Redband trout (a native subspecies), and brown trout are the primary year-round species at McCloud Lake in the cold, clear McCloud River watershed of Siskiyou County. Peak fishing is in spring and fall when water temperatures are ideal and hatches are most productive. The Redband trout is a federally sensitive species -- check CDFW for current regulations.
