Klamath River Fish Report

Klamath River - Upper - CA - Hornbrook, CA (Siskiyou County)


2-25-2007

The Klamath River releases at Iron Gate are 2,920cfs. Seiad Valley flows are 5,890cfs @ 6.4ft. Happy Camp flows are est. at about 6,500. Orleans flows are 14.4Kcfs @ 9.7ft. Water flows at Weitchpec are about 33K cfs with water temps of 48 degrees & air temps at 42 degrees. Klamath at 101 Bridge is 36.9Kcfs @ 17.7ft and water temperatures are 49 degrees. Last weeks temps for the Trinity Valley were 55/36 degrees with 8.1 inches of rain and 1.5in snow. Next weeks forecast is for 47/35 degrees with rain and showers thru Friday. This latest storm did bring in much more snow at the higher elevations, up to 2ft more. This late snow pack is going to add more water for the Spring Water Flows. The Mid-Klamath is blown out at this time but if we don't get a lot more rain this week it should come back into good fishing condition by next week. The Upper Klamath is just the opposite; it is in good fishing condition from the Seiad Valley up to Iron Gate. There is a trout for the fly-fishers and some small adults in the Happy Camp area for bank fishermen. Most of the drift boats held off of the water this weekend because of the snow. I guess that some of the bank fishers are a little more hearty or don't let the weather stop them from fishing for winter Steelies. Until next time------
