Current River Conditions: The Salmon Flies are out and fishing has been good! Anglers throwing Salmon Fly dries can find a few 16"-18" rainbows/steelhead. Your fly will be attacked by many, many smaller fish. It's a good time to fish the Klamath! Expect the Salmon Flies to come off for only a short duration. They don't keep hatching through the entire month. The unique hatch occurs in late May through the first week or two of June. Go now!

River conditions are great along the entire stretch. Good time to go on a raft trip or get the kayak out on the river. Go enjoy! Everything is green and in bloom!

The Fly Shop's?? Tips: It's late spring, almost summer and what is the best approach to fishing this river right now? Well, bring your 5wt or 6 wt rod. 9' is fine. Fish Salmon Fly dry patterns with a #16-14 Prince Nymph dropping of of it. Or a Red Copper John in #18. Or a Zebra Midge. Nymphs suspended under indicators almost always produce hook-ups in the deeper slots and pools.

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.
