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...

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...

The Klamath River has had a tough fall with virtually no salmon and few steelhead October was pretty tough, however its getting better. These cold nights have moved some fishWe’ve starting running into small pods of fish. Word down river is more are coming. It is beginning to get more and more like the Klamath we all know and love. With two big group trips next...

I have bounced between the Rogue and klamath this week - fish are finally showing on the klamath down in the canyon too! Good water conditions and grabby fish. Some were so hot… man they ripped! The Rogue seems to be kicking out brutes this year… great water conditions and the swung fly have been my ticket. I’ve been out fishing the nymph guys… sometimes big...

I was fortunate to be on the water for the entire water event beginning last week, through the weekend and this week. As a steelhead guide I am used to cross referencing reports, forecasts and predictions, but that’s usually not until my winter program in January!

Even though we got pounded I was able to find good fishing for my clients through the storm and...

Fall fishing on the Rogue continues to be what I am used to. Some days are better then others, but each day sees opportunities! It’s steelhead fishing, and you don’t go because you catch 50 in a day…it’s about the quality. The klamath to is fishing very well, with both skated dries and tips swinging them up. My first day here this season was Monday with 4...

Chuck Volckhausen of Wild Waters Fly Fishing Reports on 9.29.2106

Outlook for the the Klamath river steelhead season is pretty good. Fish were fairly grabby and often happy to jump and shake the hook. Water temps above the mouth of the Trinity were between 61 and 64 degrees near the surface in the riffle, on the 4 occasions I checked, which were all mid morning. Salmon are spread throughout the...

Hope all is well, and you’re getting out on the water. Just got off of the Klamath and the conditions were tough :)

The lower Klamath fishing has been slow. The spit at the river mouth has not blown yet, and the water continues to back up. Flows out of Iron Gate bumped up the flows and will most likely suck some fish in, so the conditions are...
