Fire, no. The wind keeps shifting directions so one day the canyon is filled with smoke and the next it's clear. Dunsmuir's probably about the best place to be in the whole north state. There's no fire here and the fishing's been excellent. http://dunsmuirvacationcottages.com/2008/06/30/where-theres-smoke/ Over the past few months, we've had one complaint from a guest: the mattress on the queen sized bed sagged a bit. To some, that's not a big deal, but for those of us who've had back problems, it can be a deal killer. So...out with the old, in with ... http://dunsmuirvacationcottages.com/2008/05/20/some-info/ Well, how was my last prediction...? Not too good, but the authorities aren't talking about it. We're getting no readings from the gauge - last report was mid-day on Wednesday after the river spiked a bit. It's definitely higher and doesn't look very fishable right now - unless you're really ... http://dunsmuirvacationcottages.com/2008/05/17/more-river-flows/ As predicted in my last post, the river was rather fishable for the season opener, with flows under 1,000 CFS (as measured at Delta). Since that weekend, the river spiked again. It seems to have stabilized at this point and with the warmer air temperatures in Dunsmuir lately, it doesn't ... http://dunsmuirvacationcottages.com/2008/05/13/river-flows/ With the season opener a mere 2.5 weeks away, it's a good time to try to predict the flows. Flows are about the same as they were this time last year, with last year's opener figures below 500 cfs. Could this mean two consecutive years of relatively calm, readily fishable ... http://dunsmuirvacationcottages.com/2008/04/08/trout-season-opener/ I pointed towards Tom Chandler's site last week when he posted his first installment of Zen Photography Tips. He's just posted the second part of this piece, which features more of his photography largely shot in and around the waters of Siskiyou County - centering around the south county area, ... http://dunsmuirvacationcottages.com/2008/03/19/more-dunsmuir-area-photos/ I never check stats to see if anyone actually reads my comments here, but just in case someone does who doesn't know much about the beauty of this area, here's a link to a blog post about composing photographs - and many of the photos were taken here in Siskiyou ... http://dunsmuirvacationcottages.com/2008/03/13/the-inherent-beauty-of-siskiyou-county-the-sacramento-river-canyon/ this time of year in Dunsmuir. The daytime temperature is into the 60s regularly now, the snow has melted considerably, yet the river is running at a very fishable level. Shhhhh - I also hear regular rumors of March Browns - ohhhhhhhhhh. My favorite Dunsmuir vacation rental is beginning to ... http://dunsmuirvacationcottages.com/2008/03/09/warms-my-heart/ Our web-site finally made it to page one on google organic searches for "dunsmuir vacation rental" and "dunsmuir vacation rentals". We're still several spots down the page from Louie Dewey's Cave Springs Resort, but making page one is big progress. Besides, we used to regularly stay in the Cave Springs ... http://dunsmuirvacationcottages.com/2008/02/13/whoo-hoo/ Living in Dunsmuir, the only opportunity for winter fishing used to mean traveling to the north part of the county and beyond. But since the DFG has seen fit to open the Upper Sacramento River to fishing year-'round (granted, it's catch and release only this time of year), Dunsmuir makes ... http://dunsmuirvacationcottages.com/2007/12/11/the-post-season/
