During the winter the Klamath fishes best when you get the fly nearer the bottom, dangle the fly right in front of them.
Many of us who fish the Klamath in the winter use two handed rods with sink...

You caught a real “adult “ steelhead, certainly bigger than a half pounder.
Swinging is the best, the tug is the drug!

Fantastic video, every fly fisherman needs to watch this!
Let’s all get behind this effort to save the salmon and the steelhead, and the world

I hug a tree everyday.
I think that fly fisherman are by definition environmentalists.
And by the way, many Americans don’t celebrate Christmas.
Merry Christmas and happy holidays to all, (except...

I agree
The visual takes it to a new level
It’s basically all I do in the fall if I can!

I spent 2 weeks on Ambergris Caye a year ago, and stayed in a VRBO cottage 10 miles north of the town of San Pedro.
I have flyfished in many areas in the salt but I like to arrange for a day with a...

I just received the NRS fishing catalog and their new "waders " called sidewinder bibs looked interesting.
Has anyone on the board purchased or have experience with these?
Thanks for any info

After 30 years fly fishing the K, I have only caught 3 salmon on a fly, all while targeting steelhead.
I have tried to target salmon in September at the mouth of the K when they are pouring in from...

I go almost every year, as soon as I hear that the steelhead are in and the flows are good.
I have swung sink tips on single handed rods, then big sink tips on my speyrod, and only hooked one fish...

Lots of rain and the river is roaring and still rising
look at the Ca river levels and decide
Be careful as there is lots of debris and wood floating down

The fishing is always great, the catching is another level.
Still good water temps for skating flies so I am happy.
Fish are scattered so you need to hunt them on the move.
Steelhead are special...

Tried kosher salt sprinkled on the ooze, and 50% was removed, now soaking in salt water.
Thanks for the advice.
By the way, I sleep in my waders and boots!

I fished all day yesterday, and when I was removing my boots and waders, I noticed a brown slimy sludge on my wader neoprene booty. The stuff was about a half inch thick and gross!
So I looked in...

coho cabins (google it)
unfortunately no real place to eat so bring your own food

The Klamath is blown out and flowing big
When the water temps are above 55 I skate and swing flies on a scandi line, on or near surface
I use a skagit head later with bigger flies

All indications are that there will be a gigantic fish kill like in 2001.
Local fish biologists are asking anyone who sees a dead salmon/steelhead to report it.
apparently there is a big protest...

Herb Burton and his wife at the Trinity fly Shop also make a special skating fly with a strange made up name, it looks like a brindle bug with a tail and hackle. I ordered a dozen for skating last...

Thanks for all of your input
I will take it to the river, and probably get some more instruction!

I am looking for advice and personal opinions concerning a swith rod set up.
I fish mostly on the Klamath, and I am addicted to swinging flies, especially skating flies.
I currently have a Beulah...

I have kept a journal for over 30 years, and the patterns always depend on flows, seasons, and weather.
I have also done some experimentation in the river. I would catch a few steelhead on a...

I agree, bring on the rain!

Again, thanks for all the advice.
I guess that I am an intermediate caster with the switch rod, I cast my speyrod with a skagit much better.
I have taken a winter speyrod/skagit lesson with Jason...

I checked the line, and it was on correctly.
I think that the rod just is too wimpy for a skagit and sink tip.
The Beulah rod was great all season swinging a scandi line, but like u said, I...

Green butt skunk
Green butt silver hilton
Bead headed brindle bug

Thanks for the interest in the property, I have received numerous PM's inquiring about details.
Just caught a beautiful adult swinging a silver hilton just below the property!
