Fishing isn't great on the Klamath, most are waiting for Salmon Fly hatches late May/June
Klamath River - Upper - CA - Hornbrook, CA (Siskiyou County)

Current River Conditions: We don't have anything new to report this week. We are waiting for late May or early June and the salmon fly hatches. Fishing isn't all that great. But, the Klamath sure is a nice river to be on this spring. The weather is just so perfect.
River conditions are excellent. You should be able to find more than a few smaller juvenile rainbows / steelhead through out the entire river system. River flows are about 1,200 CFS near Iron Gate Dam. Up to 2,500 CFS down near Seiad Valley. Great river to visit if you just want to cast that spey rod, and dream.
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.
