Klamath River - November 12th 2014

The section from Keno Dam to J.C. Boyle Reservoir (Topsy Reservoir) is open to fishing! Deaddrifting sculpin and muddler minnows under an indicator is successful. Also, fish are keying in on and mayfly and midge emergers. Fish a sculpin pattern, either stripping it, or dead drifting.   

Fish a little smaller with the colder temperatures. Small midge and mayfly patterns are picking up fish. Be careful wading and have fun!

 

The Klamath River between JC Boyle Dam to JC Boyle Powerhouse Is an excellent place to dry fly fish when water levels are low (usually early mornings and late afternoons) check water flow estimates before heading out. Fishing can still be productive when water levels are up, but one will have to change fishing tactics. Swinging streamers (leach and seal bugger patterns) across the current can produce fish.
