Fishing:
This
area is one of the best locations in northern California for
salmon and steelhead fishing. Steelhead range in size from 3 to 8
pounds and fish up to 15 pounds are landed each year. The Klamath
River is famous for a fall run of "halfpounders" (fish up to 3 lbs),
providing plenty of action on light tackle. Trout fishing is
excellent in the crystal clear creek tributaries and nearby high
mountain lakes.

kayaks are available on the
Class III rated Klamath River. One, two and three day trips
provide a unique camping experience. This is one of the finest
northern California rivers for viewing wildlife. Bring your kayak
