Current River Conditions: But, the fishing on the Klamath can go either way at this time of year. There's always a number of reports where anglers got into more than a few 16"- 18" rainbows or 1/2 pounders. Great fishing is elusive on this stream through the dog days of summer. You might find a few rainbows chowing on Golden Stone nymphs and adults, maybe an adult steelhead but don't plan on it. Lower in the river near Klamath Glen, you could swing for springers with you spey rod. Right now is prime time for springers. Even an adult Salmon Fly Dry could taunt a fish or two. Expect some solitude on the Klamath during the summer months.

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!
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 5 wt 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.
