Cave Springs Resort
Cabin 13
Cave Springs Resort is a hidden gem just a stone's throw from Mt. Shasta. It is the perfect spot for a weekend getaway that won't break the bank. The spot is secluded in the trees overlooking the Sacramento river with incredible views of the mountain. The cabins are comfortably rugged, constructed and still outfitted with original amenities from 1923. Forget the TV and telephone, no such distractions included here. Cave Springs is a great spot for fly fishing where you are more likely to meet with the legendary upper-Sacramento rainbow trout than other fishermen. The one bar, population 2,000 town doesn't make a lot of noise at night and the atmosphere at dusk is eerily Lolita-esque which only serves to escalate it's idyllic charm.

Last Cast at Pardee Reservoir
Looking west toward the harbor.
The water is very clear as it goes on to the east bay for drinking water so utilize clear water fishing tactics: clear bobbers, lower pound test line, subtle colors on your lures. Also focus on casting the shaded areas as fish will avoid the direct sunlight.
Kastmasters are said to work wonders here year after year.
