Klamath River - February 21st, 2010
supplied by: SC Guide Service
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
supplied by: SC Guide Service
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
supplied by: SC Guide Service
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
supplied by: SC Guide Service
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
supplied by: SC Guide Service
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
supplied by: SC Guide Service
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
supplied by: SC Guide Service
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!

Klamath River - December 6th, 2009
supplied by: SC Guide Service
RECORDED: 
20 °
FISHING: Great
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.

Klamath River - December 2nd, 2009
supplied by: SC Guide Service
RECORDED:
30 °
FISHING: Good
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.

Klamath River - November 28th, 2009
supplied by: SC Guide Service
RECORDED: 
39 °
FISHING: Fair
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.
