Smith River Fishing

We have been bouncing around fishing a lot of different rivers and here is the latest report. The Smith, Klamath, Umpqua, and Rogue rivers are all producing good numbers of steelhead. We participated in the Rowdy Creek Enhancement Derby this year and found some metal in the river that flows through the giant redwood trees. All of our fish came from side drifting yarn and eggs, the water was pretty heavy and if you weren't on the bottom you weren't fishing. The rivers are in shape and pretty crowded with chrome inhabitants. You still have a month to feel the steel.

Klamath River Salmon

Image
It’s been a while since my last fishing report, so I wanted to let folks know what the word on the river was. We have finished up our 2016 fall salmon season on the Klamath River and despite the low quotas and far too early closure we had a pretty darn good season. The mouth of the river has been sanded shut for most of the last month and the fish movement has been slow because of it. If you put in your time and be patient you will get your chance at a KING of the river. I want to thank all of my customers for your support and business. We are shifting gears to focus on the fall steelhead on the Klamath River and I have had a week of fishing trips canceled because of the rain but come Wednesday I will bet we are going to see some of the best steelhead fishing of the season so get a hold of me and let’s go fishing I am offering a $100.00 discount for the next week.

Spring Chinook Fishing on the Rogue River

Rogue River Spring Salmon Fishing The spring salmon season is getting started on the west coats and pro guide Mario Gomez of Ironhead Guide Service is currently booking his remaining days. People from all over the US come to fish for these amazing creatures and once you get to eat one you will know why. Rogue River Salmon Fishing around Shady Cove, OR with Mario Gomez is a class act. Take a look at Mario's GOOGLE REVIEWS   and see why he has become one of the top rated guides in the Northwest. The best time of the year to fish for springers is May through July and the presentation of choice is a back bounced piece of cured salmon eggs. People go crazy of springers (spring chinook) because of how good they taste, the fish come into the river system in April and don't spawn until October so they have large amounts of fat stored in their body to keep them alive through the summer. The meat is infused with fats and marbled so it is hands down the best tasting fish you

Klamath River Salmon Fishing FOR UPDATED INFORMATION PLEASE VISIT THE NEW WEBSITE www.ironheadguideservice.com The fall Chinook fishery on the Klamath and Trinity rivers will be closed for retention of salmon in 2017, so what this means is the Klamath and Trinity rivers will be catch and release only and not closed to angling. To help protect the stocks, ocean salmon fishing will also be closed in the California and Oregon KMZ zones (Klamath Management Zones), which run from Humbug Mt. south to Horse Mt. Visit the CDFW News Feed for more information The fall Chinook seasons on the Smith, Chetco, Rogue, Elk, and Umpqua rivers will not be affected by these closures. In fact the river fishing guides might actually see increased success do to the salmon not being targeted in the Ocean. So don’t be discouraged and let’s make the best of things. Pro guide Mario Gomez of Ironhead Guide Service will be fishing the Chetco River this year for fall chinook so it’s time to cross
