Fishing the Klamath

The Klamath River is the largest north coast river in California, stretching over 200 miles from its mouth to the Oregon border. The fish are Chinook (king) and silver salmon, steelhead and resident trout. While the chinook are average to large in size, the steelhead tend to be smaller. The number of steelhead makes up for the size difference, however. The Klamath is well known for an excellent “half pounder” run, which is a great opportunity for fly fishermen and ultra-light gear enthusiasts, even if they are inexperienced.
