| McCloud Reservoir - July 14th, 2010 |
RECORDED: 
90 °
FISHING: Excellent
It has been a while since my last report partly due to weather and partly due to my Dads battle with cancer. So far after 13 weeks of chemotherapy we are on the winning side of the battle. I got my Dad out today and in 3 plus hours of fishing we caught and released 18 wild rainbow trout. Dad landed 12 of the 18, which was pretty great. The biggest Trout was close to 20 inches and 3 pounds. All the Trout were caught while back trolling a size 50 hotshot with a worm trailer, in the gin clear water of the McCloud River arm of the reservoir . The weather is on the warm side (90's), but you could not ask for any better fishing weather, a slight cool breeze, sunny and warm. The best part is all the hungry trout. If you have the time I highly recommend getting up here and experiencing McCloud you will not be disappointed.

| McCloud Reservoir - April 4th, 2010 |
RECORDED: 
0 °
FISHING: Good
Fishing has been slow on the Klamath river the last month but should pic as the weather warms up and the stoneflies start to move around. My last trip was last Sunday on Mccloud and my clients landed 20 trout while trolling seps dodgers and worms. I am in Denver at a family function and will be back Wednesday. I have also been dealing with some medical issues concerning my Dad so I am hoping we will see some progress there soon. Sending good thoughts my Dads way would be greatly appreciated!!

| Lake Siskiyou - February 24th, 2010 |
RECORDED:
45 °
FISHING: Good
Monday my Dad and I fished Lake Siskiyou in Mt Shasta and found the Trout bite to be pretty good. I say the bite was pretty good, but only in one area of the Lake. The hotspot was in front of the boat ramp in 20 to 45 feet of water. Trout were biting really good rite there. We picked up a few random fish from other areas on the Lake but not a consistent bite. Trolling Seps dodgers with either a small piece of crawler, or a Seps trolling fly (olive green) worked well, we also used a system 1 kokanee dodger matched with a beaded spinner in sparkle green made by Fish with Gary Tackle company to land a few. Trolling slowly, 1 mph, in an S pattern was the key to getting bit.

| Klamath River - February 21st, 2010 |
RECORDED:
55 °
FISHING: Good
All the elements for a great day on the river came together yesterday. The Sun was out all day reaching 55 degrees allowing us to fish until dusk. We were one 3 boats on the river, but we were able to fish in near isolation, from start to finish. The Steelhead finally woke up from their winter slumber, allowing us to land 7 nice fish, each one putting up a good battle, on our ultra light 6 pound gear. We got bit using a variety of methods throughout the day; flies under an indicator, back trolling the crawdad plug, and bouncing a threaded night crawler on the bottom. The key to getting bit was fishing each area slow and making multiple passes thru each hole or slot. The Steely Trout were much friskier when we made solid hook ups, we had 4 Steelhead that broke water shook their heads and spit our offerings back at us. At the end of the day that is what we all ask for when we go fishing; good weather, biting fish, and excellent company.

| Klamath River - February 12th, 2010 |
RECORDED: 
49 °
FISHING: Fair
Steelhead fishing on the Klamath River has been slow. The last few times out we have only put a couple of fish in the boat. I think the constantly changing weather has really put the Steelhead bite on hold. Our weather has gone from 55 and sunny one day to 28 and spitting snow the next. These weather fronts are causing the barometer to go up and down which in turn has made the Steelhead fishing hit and miss. The fish that have been biting have taken a very slowly backtrolled crawdad plug or flies under an indicator. The weather today is windy mixed with the occasional rain shower and the temperature is 49 with a low of 35 this morning. This windy wet sort of cold weather is suppose to be here until this Tuesday, then starting Wednesday, we are suppose to see some sun and temperatures near 60 for the rest of next week.

| Klamath River - January 29th, 2010 |
RECORDED: 
45 °
FISHING: Great
After two weeks of Sportmans Expos my Dad and I got a chance to fish the Klamath River. Yesterday, we fished for a couple of hours in the late afternoon and went for 4 for 6 on Steelhead/Trout. We backtrolled Rebel crawdads and (Shasta Tackle) Matrix Flee bitty plugs down to the Fishhook landing most of the fish just behind the restaurant. The water is very cold so backtrolling extra slow is the key to getting bit.

| Klamath River - January 10th, 2010 |
RECORDED:
42 °
FISHING: Poor
It was a tough day on the river today. My client Robert hooked three Steelhead on the fly and all three spit the fly back. The water is very cold and the Steelies are not very aggressive right now. You have to work the water very slow to get bit. The weather has been all over the place since Christmas, sub freezing temps mixed with wind rain and snow as well as temps as high as 51 and sunny. I'm thinking its time to hit Lake Siskiyou for some better fishing.

| Klamath River - January 9th, 2010 |
RECORDED:
48 °
FISHING: Fair
My clients Cynthia and Dan did not catch many fish today. The bite was pretty slow but what we did catch was quality. Dan landed a nice 3 pounder while backtolling a rebel crawdad plug near the Fishhook restaurant, while Cynthia took the big fish honors with a very fat 5 pounder. This Steelie was every bit as fat as it was long. As Dan said, "that Steely was on the feed bag". I've caught Steelhead that have been as much a 6 inches longer but were not as fat as this guy. It is always great to see Steelhead or Trout like the two we caught today, it just shows how much food is in the system for these Klamath fish to eat.
***I will be at the ISE Sportmans Expos in San Mateo (14th-17th) and Sacramento (21st-24th) along with Jim Burney of the Klamath Ranch Resort (Blue Heron RV Park and Fishhook resturant) come down and see us in our booth, and get in on the Expo specials***

| Klamath River - January 2nd, 2010 |
RECORDED: 
38 °
FISHING: Good
I took Conner and my Dad out on the river this afternoon for few hours and they both landed a nice Steelhead. Dad caught and released the first wild Steelhead of 2010. He was side-drifting with a float and a small worm tipped glow-bug, when the 24-inch, 5-pound Buck took the bait. The Steely battled near the bottom the whole time, making short runs until he tired out, we then netted him for a quick picture. The river temperature is in the low 40's and the Steelhead are hugging the bottom and hanging within 10 to 15 feet of the bank. Conner landed the second Steelhead of the year while back-trolling a small hotshot worm combo, it too was a wild Buck, not quite as fat as Dad's (3.5 pounds) but well over the 20-inch mark. After that we rowed down the river pretty quickly since the sun was dropping behind the mountains. Once the sun goes down the temperature drops very fast this time of year. It was 32 degrees by the time I got the boat out of the water. Tonights low is suppose to be 25.

| Klamath River - December 7th, 2009 |
RECORDED:
25 °
FISHING: Great
I reported this morning that the temperatures were between 16 and 35 (for yesterday) degrees, well today it was between 10 and 25 with some wind mixed in. Burrrrrrrrrrr!!!! But the Steelies are biting and the bigger adults are loving the crawdad plug. Just back troll very very slow, the water is in the low 40's and the Steelies are not moving far to get their meals, so working the water from shore to shore is the key to getting bit. The 5 pounder I lost yesterday, was the first Steelie I landed today. My Dad and I landed 3 nice adults all over 18 inches while fishing just the upper section of the river. Last few days there had been a total of 5 boats on the water. Today 3 others plus myself and yesterday just one other boat. No pressure means more fish for those that are trying!
