Hey i have fish the McLeod river lots when young (Hinton/Robb road)

i would try down stream of campground walking hole too hole

try too get your nymphs down in holes/ log jams

at the head of holes your Grayling maybe there so use your top water stuff

if you can find back eddy's at front of holes is your best bet

Rainbows will be hole too hole ... i would use a indicator and a couple of fly's

as always when wading rivers if you are going down stream

you are chumming the holes below where your fishing just by walking

the trout that were dormant will now be feeding .. as they are opportunist

i like too look under rocks in riffles to match the hatch so too say

wade out above holes and look turning rocks in current so bottom can be seen

if you google earth the river you will see those areas you can drive close then walk in

if your after Bulls then articulate flies work well but will take lots of walking

they best time too fish McLeod is later in summer but the Grayling do run up in June

even got some 17 + inchers

remember above Whitehorse creek is Closed

ps this time of year the river can be dangerous (just saying)

as always this is

Food for thought
