Fish Report for 12-15-2013
Steelhead fishing on the Klamath River has been great!
12-15-2013
The Fly Shop
Current River Conditions: Fishing has been great! Expect to get into adult steelhead and more than a few juvenile to half-pounders. The adults go 18"-25". Some anglers have reported in with as many as 5 hook-ups on adults. We expect the Klamath to fish great through the closing weeks of December.
This river typically offers solid fishing through March.
The Fly Shop's?? Tips: Check road conditions especially during & after storms. Good flies include: #4-8 Rubber legs in brown or black along with Amber Wing Princes in #12-14 and Red Copper Johns in #12-14. Also, egg patterns in shrimp pink, orange and salmon egg should be in your fly box. Don't forget your steelhead card!
Fly rods from 6 wt to 7 wt are perfect in lengths of 9' to 9.5'. Switch rods are popular and make casting very easy. Spey rods fit in well on the Klamath river.

No restrictions at this time, but winter storms will change that. Call 1-800.427.7623 for up to date Northern California Road Conditions.
