Beginning in
late summer, great migrations of King Salmon (Chinook) make their way up
the Klamath River back to their place of origin to lay their own eggs to
complete the circle of life. (Prime Fishing August to October)
Be sure to check regulations regarding season and limits - see link
below.
Steelhead trout
also move upriver in the Fall just after Salmon to spawn. In the spring
they make their way back down river to the Pacific. (Prime Fishing
September to March)
Fly Fishing is one of the most
popular activities on the Klamath. With most of the banks under public
ownership, access is easy. Unlike some other California rivers closer
to major population centers, the Klamath never gets crowded - One can
fish a prime Saturday and never see another fisherman.
Fly fishing is
accessible directly in front of the resort. Walk down the lawns from
your guest room and wade in front of the resort - most of the waters are
around 3 feet deep. Up river from the resort about 100 yards is an
island with some great riffles. Down river about 100 yards from the
resort is a cold water creek. After this creek there are several deep
holes and multiple boulders - great holding spots for hungry steelhead.
Make sure you
have spikes on your boots as the bottom of the Klamath is generally
slippery. A walking stick is a great option. Hiring a guide with a
drift boat is another great option for easy access.
