Current River Conditions: Fishing has been great and should continue to produce those fantastic days and steelhead through the coming weeks. For now, it's going to be tough getting up to Yreka from Redding. Snowy weather is keeping I-5 closed today. Be sure to check for the latest highway conditions.

Egg patterns in shrimp pink, Salmon-egg and steelhead orange continue to work well. Seems like mid day the salmon-egg yarn works best, shrimp pink in the late afternoon and Orange in the AM hours. #6-8 Pat's Brown Rubber Legs is a good fly to have! Red Copper John's in 12-14 have been working too!

The Fly Shop's ? Tips: The most productive method for getting tight to adult steelhead on this river, in respect to the upper sections near Hornbrook, CA., is suspending nymphs and eggs under an indicator. Use 2x-3x leader and AB or AA split shot. Fish at depth between 5-7 ft. You might consider fishing deeper and heavier the further down stream you venture during winter months.

Fly rods from 6 wt to 7 wt are perfect in lengths of 9' to 9'.5. Switch rods are popular and make casting very easy. Spey rods fit in well on the Klamath river. Look for steelhead in the pools and shallow tailouts.
