Salmon:
Salmon season starts out fishing the Klamath in May for Springers, and continues on
into early July when we then start to make the transition into the fall season for
Salmon on both the Klamath and Trinity Rivers. When our first heavy rains hit, we then
make our move to the Smith River. Salmon fishing usually lasts through November.
The Klamath and Trinity River fish average between 8 to 15 pounds, with fish also
being caught in the 20 to 30 pound class. The Smith River fish average a bit higher,
between 15 to 25 pounds. This is one of only a few rivers in California that allows an
angler to have a chance at a fish in the 40 pound class and above.
Steelhead:
Steelhead fishing begins in January for winter Steelhead and lasts all the way through
the end of March. We fish all the northcoast rivers as conditions allow. One of the best
things about being in this area is that we have the Smith river just a short drive away,
and a chance at catching a steelhead in the 20 pound class. August brings steelhead
fishing to the Klamath/Trinity River systems, and continues through November or until
we get those first heavy rains. This unique fishery offers the angler a chance at both
half-pounders and adult Steelhead in the 6 to 10 pound class. We offer both
conventional gear fishing as well as fly fishing for these silver bullets. The weather
and scenery at this time of the year are absolutely beautiful and mild.
