Ted Fay Fly Shop Reports on 10.26.2017

October has been spectacular in many ways here in Dogpatch. Unlike the pain in the ass conditions of last year with the record setting rains early on this year has been very kind weather and fishing wise. The beautiful Fall colors seem to be matching what you would see in New England, the temps have been very comfortable and the fishing has produced some of...

AC Fly Fishing Reports 10.12.2017

The Lower Sac is fishing good to very good for anglers that can achieve the right drift in the exact right spots. The little things matter right now.. snappy mends, hooksets, etc. There are some very large fish to be had this time of year out here. Fishing should remain good to great as Fall sets in.
There are steelfaces starting to show up on the Trinity and...

Lower Sac - Good, great, grand, wonderful. Broken Record.. It’s always good. Best window had been late mornings and afternoons. A lot of different flies are catching fish right now. It’s more a matter of putting your bugs in the exact right spot.. during the right time of the day. Egg drop coming soon. Get ready for the circus to show up.

McCloud - We’ve had...

Klamath River Steelhead Statistics

John Rickard of Wild Waters Reports on 2.9.2017

On Super Bowl Sunday the Iron Gate section of the Klamath River saw one guide boat. The clarity of the water was greenish brown and the wind gusted up to 30mph in the afternoon, conditions were tough but we had it all to ourselves. Many of my favorite spots were forever changed as half the trees along the banks were broken and dangling in the river....

We are getting a lot more precipitation up north here than we’ve been used to the past few years. It’s stayed nice and cold for us too to keep some of that snow up in the higher elevations. As much as it hurts having to cancel trips in the winter due to rivers blowing out - It’s nice to know that this rain and snow is ensuring us a good spring and summer water...

John Rickard at Wild Waters Reports on 12.8.2016

Had to shovel the boat out of the snow this morning, as we got about 6 inches last night. Wild Water’s guides have been on the Klamath, Trinity, Lower Sac and Upper Sac this week. I’d say the best news is coming from the Klamath as fish have been coming to the net on most trips from Orleans to Hornbrook. The Iron Gate stretch has the most numbers but...

AC Fly Fishing Reports on 12.1.2016

Unfortunately, there’s not much good to report on either of these rivers. Both the Klamath and Trinity have had low returns of Steelhead this year. It looks like the compounded years of drought in Northern California are finally catching up with us. We had some pretty successful fishing early in the season over on the Trinity but the fish that did show up early...

Like much of the PNW region, I would say this year we have seen fewer small fish than is typical, especially on the Klamath, though we have made up for it in strides with very quality, larger fish.

This week a few days on the Klamath produced a few fish down in the canyon, though it was not quite the fishing we are used...

Brandon Worthington reports on 11.17.2016

High pressure this last week so we had some balmy, beautiful days. We saw some great fishing on the Rogue as a result. Some real tanks hooked too. But the real story is that we finally found fish on the Klamath! After a few sparse weeks, I hope this is the start of the real season. Generally, the Klamath is my best November and December venue before chasing...
