Klamath River

Klamath River Overview

The Klamath is one of the longest river systems in California. It's headwaters are in Oregon, and its largest tributary is the Trinity River in California. We primarily fish the Klamath below Iron Gate dam near the Oregon border. Every spring the Klamath has an incredible hatch of golden stones and salmonflies. These large bugs hatch in May and June, bringing fish of all sizes to the surface. We spend our days casting big dry flies towards the bank from our drift boats and rafts. On most days we hook quite a few rainbows and steelhead smolts from 9 to 15 inches along with a few larger rainbows and adult steelhead up to three pounds. This is a really fun destination.
