Klamath River - October 2nd, 2006
RECORDED: 75 °
FISHING: Excellent
On Monday, I fished my buddies Jim, Keith, and Matt and they landed 6 out of 12 Salmon. Five of the six Salmon weighed over 18 pounds, and 3 of those were over 20 pounds. Jim landed the hog of the day a nice big 25 pound buck. (See the photo)
K-15 kwikfish and Roe were the baits of choice. I am fishing the section of river from the Hatchery to Fishhook it has been the most productive!

Klamath River - December 10th, 2005
RECORDED: 30 ° FISHING: Good
Last week's storm brought the river up quite a bit (well over 2000cfs). Now that it has dropped back down (1300cfs) the fishing has improved. A fresh batch of hatchery and wild steelhead moved up river and my clients were able to hook up seven times, landing five. John Girarde and his Dad John landed 12 fish for the day, a nice mix of half-pounders and adults the biggest one reaching 22-inches. The water temperature is in the low 40's so you need to cover a lot of water to find fish.They are not moving far to eat but when they do they are putting up a good battle. The weather has been changing daily but the one constant has been the sub 30 temperatures. Dressing in warm layers is a must if you want to stay out on the river for the day. The Steelhead fishing will remain steady as long as the river stays at a fishable level (something below 2000cfs). http://www.caldwellfishing.com/

Larry and his son Jason Turner had a great day. Twenty Steelhead and Trout combined. The fish were hungry gobbling down glow bugs and hotshots with worm trailers. There can be good fishing on a full moon. Larry landed the big fish of the day a nice 5-pound hatchery Steely while side drifting a glow bug near the wood duck box. Checkout the pictures they speak for themselves.

Fly Fishing for Winter Steelhead on the Klamath River has been ok. I fished clients on Friday and Saturday and both days the fishing was good in some spots and bad in others. We fished small glow bugs under an indicator and landed fish up to 5 pounds. The Steelhead are holding tight to the bottom. Glow bugs, crawdad plugs, worms or roe need to be fished as close to or on the bottom as possible to get bit. Fresh Steelies are moving up river everyday and we are starting to see more hatchery fish mixed in with the wild ones. I was one of four boats that were all fly-fishing a big group organized by Jack Trout. Each boat had at least one adult Steelhead over 3.5 pounds the biggest steelhead was a nice 25-incher that weighed about 7 pounds. There are big Steelies in there you just have to hit them on the head to bite.

Winter Steelhead fisherman are a hearty folk. Despite the cold, wet, windy conditions my clients and I fly fished for Winter Steelhead, we drifted from the Irongate Hatchery to the Klamathon Bridge both days (Friday and Saturday). We landed numerous small Trout in the 6 to11-inch range but we did landed a few in the 12 to 17-inch class. The biggest fish was a 17-incher that weighed about 1.5 pounds. On Friday, we did hook up a 5-pound Steelhead but after a short battle the big Steely showed herself by jumping 2 feet out of the water and giving us our glow bug back. Steelhead are very good at freeing themselves from barb less hooks. After quite a bit of trial and error a small two fly set up consisting of two small light-pink glow bugs worked the best. We fished these under an indicator with two small slit shots to help them get down. All the Steelhead and Trout are feeding heavily on eggs right now and as sit right behind the Salmon reds. As the weather stabilizes the bite should pick, this rain will help move more fish up river. http://www.caldwellfishing.com/
