Fishing should be only fair for redband trout due to past drought and there are few redband trout on public lands. Targeting brook trout near Deep Creek is another option. This area has some of the largest brook trout in the Klamath Basin. Brook Trout are very concentrated on the spawning grounds.

Look for hatches of mahogany dun mayflies. Blue winged olives and October caddis. There are incredible populations of scuds in the Williamson River. Flies that look like scuds can be productive.

Past drought from 2020- 2022 have affected adult redband trout numbers. Flows are good for fishing. Fishing on the private pay-to-fish ranches on the Sand Creek and Yamsi Ranches should be excellent for brook trout with redband trout mixed in.
