Well it look's like we've ended up with a great quota this year. The Department of fish & game has estimated that the Klamath River has 600,000 three year old Salmon returning from the ocean. Along with 26,000 four year old fish. If the DFG predictions are accurate most of the run will be three year old fish that average 8 to 15 pounds. The PFMC & fish & game has set the quota at 10,600 fish. A far better scenario then last season. Anglers will be able to keep 2-adults & 1 jack per day with a total of 12 Chinook in 7 days, no more than 4 adults in that 7 day period. Lets not forget about 1 fin clipped Steelhead.

Springer's are starting to come in the river right now. The Trinity River will have it's spring flows starting April 27th . Bor will increase the flows from 300cfs to 4500cfs by may 1st, the peak flows will last for a week & then there will be a gradual reduction of the water flows until June 25th. At this time the river will assume the normal summer flow at 450cfs.
