Well, the Winter and Spring storms seem to have brought us a "NORMAL" amount of rain-faill. The Klamath River is consistently high now. I spent several days fishing over the last few weeks, and found conditions to be extremely difficult…
Higher flows on the mid-Klamath and a fishing report hinting of adult steelhead up on the Salmon River was the impetus to do a check of fishing conditions on the Salmon River this week. I called in two of my …
The last storm did a nice job of blowing-out the Mid-Klamath. (Currently the Klamath is flowing about 6000cfs in Orleans) From here on through the Winter we will need to keep an eye on the storm patterns to catch fishing…
