Current River Conditions: More good reports coming out of Klamath Glen. You can expect to find a few steelhead! It's rare to be wearing shorts and sandals fishing for steelhead, but not on the Klamath in mid to late summer!

The Fly Shop's ? Tips: Go fish the lower river, near Blue Creek, for best results. We recommend fishing from a boat in order to access the best water. Best flies are going to be various egg patterns including clown-eggs and micro spawns in yellow and pink for single-hand fly rod fishing. Swinging SALT Stones, Euphoric Muddlers and articulated leeches on a spey or switch rod, wearing shorts and sandals and short sleeves has to be experienced!
