Yellow perch fishing is excellent below Modoc Point. Look for deep pools and the aquatic vegetation edges.‌

The giant Hex mayfly hatch has started to wane in some areas. The mayflies hatch around 9 p.m. Please remember no bait, no treble hooks and catch-and-release for redband trout. ‌

Numerous mayflies are hatching, therefore small pheasant tail nymphs fished on clear intermediate fly lines with fluorocarbon leaders can be effective. ‌

. Redband trout have moved into the area above Chiloquin. This section has more brown trout as well. Brown trout can be targeted above and below Spring Creek. ‌

Large streamers and leech patterns are more effective lower in the river towards the mouth. Check Williamson River Flows.
