Klamath River - Upper - CA - Hornbrook, CA (Siskiyou County)

Current River Conditions: Why? The steelhead numbers will dwindle as fewer fresh fish arrive. Why is the fishing good now? It's a seasonal migration starting back in early Autumn. It's just about over for this season.
By the end of the month, we start waiting for June when the salmon flies start coming off. For now, the fish are still coming in, so if your scheduled to go fishing on the Klamath this week, you should find a few adult steelhead.
Good flies to throw include Shafer's 3-D, Pat's Rubber Legs, #12-14 Prince Nymphs, Shrimp Pink Micro Spawns and a selection of Boles Bazookas. Red Copper Johns also!
The Fly Shop's?? Tips: The most productive method for getting tight to adult steelhead on this river, in respect to the upper sections near Hornbrook, CA., is suspending nymphs and eggs under an indicator. Use 2x-3x leader and AB or AA split shot. Fish at depth between 5-7 ft. You might consider fishing deeper and heavier the further down stream you venture during winter months.
Fly rods from 6 wt to 7 wt are perfect in lengths of 9' to 9'.5. Switch rods are popular and make casting very easy. Spey rods fit in well on the Klamath river. Look for steelhead in the pools and shallow tailouts.
Road Conditions: No restrictions at this time. Call 1-800.427.7623 for up to date Northern California Road Conditions.
