The Hirz Fire is still burning up the McCloud arm from Shasta Lake.  The river is still open at The Nature Conservancy and above and the fishing is good if you can take the smoke.  Some days are worse than others. 

I’ve been fishing as far North as the Williamson and as far West as the lower Klamath. It’s hard to get out of the smoke. The fishing is good though.

Klamath River / Below Iron Gate.

The Iron Gate float is providing some good fishing under the Jaydecator. Fish are being caught all day, the best is between 9 and 12 and again from 4 to dark. There are a few places to enjoy a walk n wade but, by far your best success will come from a drift boat. Big rubber legs and birds nest have been the ticket. 

We are days away...

Oregon Klamath

Some have only heard rumors of the fantastic fishing for healthy redband rainbows in the heart of a beautiful and rugged corner of Southern Oregon. A tailwater, Oregon’s Klamath River drains one of the most productive trout lakes on the planet, Klamath Lake. Consequently, it supports prolific insect activity, numerous baitfish species and robust...

Cal Klamath 

We have been swinging flies on the Klamath recently with good success as we look forward to some dry fly action in the coming months. We rarely see other anglers this time of year and enjoy the sound of running water, birds chirping and the quiet solitude. In spring, the fish are typically a mixture of small adult, half-pounder and juvenile...

Klamath

The Klamath River is going to be left alone by us for a little bit.  There are some fish to be caught but this is not a highlighted time on this river.  We will be back later in the Spring and early summer for some Salmon Flies.  Check back around June.

Klamath and Rogue River

Still finding steelhead as we charge up and down the coast and throughout Southern Oregon. Surprisingly some of the biggest fish make their charge up into the coastal rivers now and you have the chance of getting into a fish of a lifetime. Further inland you can find fish on the upper reaches of the Klamath and Rogue Rivers. This has been an...

The Coast

The theme the last couple of weeks around here has been excellent fishing for Wild Waters Fly Fishing. We have been finding steelhead at the coast, the Upper Rogue, Upper Klamath and even trout in our own backyard here on the Upper Sac. Last night the skies opened up with pounding rain and lightning, it has let up but more is forecast including snow through...

Chuck at Wild Waters Fly Fishing reports on 12.14.2017

Fishing on the Klamath has been fair to good. Opportunities are presenting themselves everyday for anglers covering water. No spots have been a home run as steelhead are spread throughout the river. Winter conditions have put fish in the mood for slower water and slower presentations. Swinging flies with light tips has proven itself productive....

Lost Coast Outfitters hosts a group with Western River Conservancy every year. Our good friend Tom Counts offers up his killer camp and we fish for 2 and half days. If you are not fishing up by the dam where fish are stacked up you working pretty hard for a shot at an adult fish right now. It’s true winter steelhead mode. There are a number of bright half-pounders in the system to pull...

We were up on the Klamath River this past weekend and there are a lot of fish stacked up by the dam. Can’t wait for those to go dams to go away! They are keyed in on eggs pretty heavily there should be some good pushes of fish coming in the with these rains. We will be up there next week trying to find some bright fish.
