Current River Conditions: Water conditions are great along the entire length of the Klamath river. You will find a mixture of half-pounders and adult steelhead. Although some rain will bring in more fish, the fishing has been decent (Depends on what one calls decent). A couple adult steelhead to the net is a great day! Most anglers are doing best on egg patterns in pink and/or orange.

The upper Klamath is such a great option as we head into early March. You should have a great time!

Good flies to throw this week include Shafer's 3-D, Pat's Rubber Legs, #12-14 Prince Nymphs, Shrimp Pink Micro Spawns and a selection of Boles Bazookas. Red Copper Johns also!

The Fly Shop's?? Tips: The most productive method for getting tight to adult steelhead on this river, in respect to the upper sections near Hornbrook, CA., is suspending nymphs and eggs under an indicator. Use 2x-3x leader and AB or AA split shot. Fish at depth between 5-7 ft. You might consider fishing deeper and heavier the further down stream you venture during winter months.

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. Look for steelhead in the pools and shallow tailouts.
