Klamath Info Head's Up
As we now know, the Six Rivers NF is open. However, there is an "Area Closure" up there due to the McCash Fire burning in the Marbles and the area north and east of Orleans. The closure starts at the western edge of the Orleans Ranger District, which is just past Weitchpec on Hwy 96. Campgrounds are closed and it looks like parking along the highway to fish is also off limits. Campfires are prohibited for the rest of the year, even in established campgrounds with fire pits, which is not a surprise.
So it looks like a no-go for the middle Klamath this year.

I am going to Happy Camp at the end of October. Hopefully that area is open then. Thanks for the info.

Praying and dancing ... both ineffective. Moreover, the authors will do neither. I will leave the Klamath alone this season and re-evaluate next year.

Lower and Middle Rogue river?

Came here to see if anyone had been up there yet. Not surprised at this news. Maybe next year. Or not.

I’ve been up, was down low. There’s fish around, not many adults when I was there, I think most moved up the system after the flow increase. Plenty of decent half pounders.

Wondering if this closure on 96 is still in place? When i looked it up on caltrans the only thing i found was one lane directed road work near orleans. Google maps is showing both ways to happy camp open. Thanks

Per the nice lady that answers the phone at the Klamath Nat Forest Service, Hiway 96 is open other than the control measure mentioned. Campgrounds should be checked on individually- seems some are open, others closed.
When are you headed up? I expect to be there early next week.
