| 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.

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***

RECORDED:

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!

The weather is so frightful, but the Steelhead fishing is quite delightful, let em bite let em bite let em bite. The bigger adults are taking the crawdad plug everytime out. My friend Phil and I backtrolled crawdad plugs all day and landed 10 Steelhead up to 3 pounds. The two biggest fish one 5 pounds plus did what Steelhead do best, jump and send your plug flying back to you. The weather is very cold 16 degrees in the morning but warming up to 35 by the afternoon,, HAHA. Just typical winter steelhead fishing weather.

Fishing on the upper Klamath has been good the last three days, but cold. Early morning temperatures have averaged 20 degrees, the last few mornings, but have risen into the mid 40's by noon. The temperature starts to drops rapidly back down after 3pm and it has been getting dark shortly after 5pm. We are currently in a full moon phase. It was very clear and bright the last couple of nights, allowing the Steelhead to feed all night long. I would say that yesterday was kind of slow because of this, but on Monday the bite was great, we landed 6 adults between 18 and 23 inches and weighing between 2 and 4 pounds. Almost all of the bigger Steelhead have come while back trolling a rebel crawdad plug. We have also picked a few adults on flies under an indictor and back trolling a jet diver/nightcrawler combo. With the mornings being well below freezing a 9am or 10am start is quite adequate, the Steelhead like to warm up too.

I picked up my boat from Willie Drift boats yesterday and she looks great. After 9 years of service she got a well-deserved facelift. I had the inside, outside and trailer completely redone. The inside now has new diamond plate flat floors and removable leaning braces for fly-fishing. The entire boat and trailer has been powder coated (silver ghost) and looks like a stealth fighter. We should be able to sneak up on the fish now HAHA!! Of course, what better excuse for getting out on the water, so I gathered up my Brother his son Eric, Conner and my Dad we fished the upper Klamath for a couple of hours. Dad and Lance caught a couple of nice Steelies on crawdad plugs. We did not stay out long as a cold weather front was blowing thru. It rained off an on yesterday and the wind blew in some freezing cold temps. Of course today it’s sunny but very cold. The river is in great shape and there are lots of hungry steelhead waiting to be caught so now is the time to get out.

Fishing for adult Steelhead on the upper Klamath River is getting better by the day. On Monday, my clients Paris and his grandson Wesley landed 30 Steely Trout with a few adults mixed in. Wesley hooked up on a nice 5 to 6 pound Steelhead while back trolling a crawdad plug, but on the first jump it spit the plug clean over the boat. Paris landed a nice 2 to 3 pounder while back trolling a whole threaded night crawler on a jet driver. The guys landed most of the fish while back trolling crawdads plugs or hotshot worm combos. On Tuesday, my brother Lance and my Dad hit the river for a few hours in the evening and they landed 4 adults while back trolling the crawdad plug. These fish were all in the 2 to 4 pound range and 19 to 24 inches in length. Lance landed a nice fat adult while bobbing a worm in the herring tree hole. This is a great time to get out not many people are trying and the weather has been great. Happy Birthday Dad (today) and Lance (yesterday) love you guys!!!

FISHING: Good
Fishing for Winter Steelhead on upper Klamath River (Hatchery to Klamathon bridge) has been very good for half pounders with 1 to 3 adults (20 inches and more than 2 pounds) mixed in. My client on Tuesday caught and released 15 fish, the biggest one in the 2 to 3 pound bracket. We caught fishing on everything from bait to flies to plugs. The hotshot worm combo took honors for hooking the most fish. The big fish was landed while back trolling a Luhr Jensen Jet diver with 4 feet of leader and a whole threaded nightcrawler. The Steelies are scattered all throughout the 5-mile stretch of the drift and each day the hot spot has been changing. The Rebel crawdad plug (red bottom), size 30 hotshots with a worm trailer, Glowbugs, big black stoneflys, copperjohns and side drifting or back bouncing worms have been working to land fish. We have been catching between 10 and 20 fish per trip with the bulk of the fish being in the 1/2 pound plus class (10 to 16 inches).

FISHING: Excellent
Yesterday, my Dad and I hit the upper part of the Klamath River and found the Steely Trout bite to be on. We caught and released 27 fish up to 4 pounds while using a variety of methods. The biggest fish was caught while backtrolling a crawdad plug. Bouncing a small piece of night crawler on the bottom caught most of the fish. Straight plugs (hotshots) and side drifted glow bugs, or glow bugs and nymphs under an indicator picked up fish as well. Most of the Steelie Trout were in the 10 to 17 inch range but we did land a few adults more adult Steelies will be coming up as we head into winter so fishing will be great for the next few months.
