Current River Conditions:
The upper Klamath near Yreaka, CA. has promising conditions. It's early to offer any reports on this stream, but we know you are thinking about it. And so you should! The results of a day on the Klamath just downstream of Irongate Dam includes some dark, Jack Salmon (Juvenile King Salmon), and a 1/2 pounder or four. Okay, far from bad, but wait until later this month!
Road Conditions:
No traffic restriction reported for this area.

The Fly Shop's ? Tips:
In the fall and winter months, fishing various egg patterns, like clown eggs, shrimp pink micro spawns and Pat's Rubber Legs under indicators, in slow water, will usually conjure up 3-5 lb steelhead. In May and June, fishing large salmon fly dries along the banks, next to boulders and in shallow tail outs will produce those carnivores fish this river is famous for. I would not want to be a salmon fly on this river! Use 9' leaders, tapered to 2x. Attach your salmon fly dry. Cast! To step it up, suspend a prince nymph, red copper john or egg pattern under your dry. Enjoy! Look at the list below, the Rogue Foam Stone/Salmon Fly and Anes Salmon Fly Adult are great choices that imitate pteronarcys californica, or the Salmon Fly! The half pounders (juvenile steelhead) and an increasing number of adult steelhead make the Klamath a popular fly fishing destination during the months of October-November.
River Fact:
The Klamath river is 263 miles long, originating in a broad valley at the eastern slope of the southern High Cascades, the water source is Upper Klamath Lake. Sometimes called "the upside down river", the upper Klamath in Oregon is largely developed, but the lower Klamath is still wild, forested and ruggedly beautiful. Next to the Klamath, the only river that originates in a desert and flows into the coastal forests of the pacific west is the Pit River.
