Any idea as to why the off color situation?? How much is it off color anyway? Is there a better way to get info on the McCoud as far as a source. I plan on being up there next Friday. I did not really want to fish the lake full time instead, although I am bringing some fishing yaks along and damsels were the ticket last year at this time. Are there any motel recommendations in town for folks getting squeamish about camping? Still, I can't get anyone to ride along with me if we drive Forest 11 at night back up to Big Bend.
