Keno Dam to Highway 66

Fishing not recommended due to difficult access and extremely cold-water temperatures. Closed to fishing for salmon. The river from Keno Dam downstream to Hwy 66 is open to fishing. Fishing remains very slow. Please remember that the bag limit has changed to one redband rainbow trout per day in the 12- to 15-inch size class. No bait is allowed. Also, the area on the river near the Klamath Sportsman Park downstream to Hwy 66 is closed to public access to restore that area.

Flows are a little high for fishing at 1,380 cfs. Catch-and-release is highly encouraged. Most redband/rainbow are small.
