Flows are still high, roughly 3,500 cubic feet per second on the lower Klamath gauge as of Wednesday. The releases from Iron Gate arrived on the lower river Monday and it quickly muddied up. It was still dirty as of Wednesday, and could take a few days to clear. There is a mix of jacks and adult salmon in the river and a few steelhead as well. As a reminder, the lower river quota has been met and salmon longer than 23 inches must be released. Your adult Chinook releases need to be recorded on your North Coast Salmon Report Card as normal. The bag limit is two salmon less than or equal to 23 inches and two hatchery steelhead.
