Klamath River gets more water!

Klamath River gets more water!

I've scheduled a short season on the coast this week and have been fishing the Klamath River for King salmon and steelhead. Fishing has been slow, but there are some fish in the system. Currently, the water levels on the Klamath are low and the in-river water temps are sitting at about 73 degrees. These are not the kind of conditions a guide wants to see when he's trying to put clients on some descent fishing. Another issue has been the periodic closing of the mouth of the Klamath and new fish can't enter the river under these conditions.
