Klamath River Fishing  10/09/17 update I have been fishing the Klamath River for the past few weeks and the fishing went from good to great in a single day. The salmon are spawning, and the steelhead are hanging out close by for an easy meal. Visit the fishing report section of my new website for details and stay up to date on my social media pages listed below. The fall fishing on the Klamath River is something you really have to see to believe, it's hands down the best fishing you can find in the lower 48.

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

Rogue River Fishing

The rogue river fishing has been kicking out a few spring steelhead on the far upper sections of the river that are flowing slow enough to fish. This winter has had its challenges for the fisherman and guides alike. We have had an extremely wet winter and now spring salmon season is on everybody's mind. I have a few more weeks of steelhead fishing planed than IGS will join the madness of springer feaver that plagues the west coast every year.

Umpqua River Fishing

The winter steelhead season on the west coast has been a little hard on the guides and fisherman this year with the amount of rain we have received. The coastal rivers and the upper sections of the main rivers dropped into shape this last weekend and are fishing good. Looks like we will receive a little more rain this weekend but the rivers are forecasted to be back in shape by the middle of next week. We are still seeing plenty of fresh fish for being well over half way into the season. I have been bouncing around fishing what green water I can find and we have been finding a few fish. I have a few dates left in March so lets go get a metalhead before the game is over.
