When The Fly Shop ? opened its doors in 1978 the Klamath River was one of the primary guided angling destinations that we offered.
Current River Conditions: This river is in a yearly lull lasting through most of May. Once June comes around, look for about a week of warm, sunny weather. Why? The sunny warmth triggers the Salmon fly hatches that make this river a great destination through most of June! See the dry fly list below for what should work in June! Contact us about the Klamath River!
The Fly Shop's ? Tips: 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! Check back here for updates as we close in on May!
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.
