Klamath Kings

Klamath Salmon from 08' season

The Salmon are already heading up the Klamath. Reports from local anglers and a couple fellow fishing guides are stating that there is a few kings already being caught from the mouth to several miles upriver. We have a quota of over 30,000 fish this year. That's right! While Salmon runs are at historic lows, the Klamath run is predicted to be one of the biggest in years. Anglers will be able to retain two adult salmon and one Jack Salmon (a King that is under 22") or hatchery Steelhead per person per day. That means full fish boxes and ice chests of fresh Salmon for our anglers. I will be heading up at my usual time around the first of September. After ten years of fishing this great river this is the time I feel the run is in full swing.

We will be running trips out of my jet boat and can handle up to 6 anglers per day. If you have a group of 3 or more anglers you will have the boat to yourselves. I will list the few remaining dates below.

Sept.12th. 13th. 16th. 17th. 23rd. 24th. 26th and the 27th.

Let me know if any of these dates will work for your group as soon as possible so we can take care of your accommodations.

Thanks,

Mike

   The only good thing I can see that has come out of this salmon closure is the fact that I get to have a little more time fishing with my friends and family. I had an absolutely fantastic trip recently to old Mexico. I took a friend of mine Justin Lewis from Star Valley Wyoming & fellow fishing guide and friend Mario Arguilles from California. We went to Punta Colorado and caught all the Dorado and other pelagics that we could handle. This was Justin's graduation present from me and my wife. The highlight of the trip was the 13 Wahoo we hooked. This was a nice bonus. We only landed four but we will be a little more prepared for the toothy critters next year. We each came home with a cooler, full to the top of Dorado and Wahoo filets. This was the best trip I have had in Mexico. Our Captain and deckhand were the best you could have asked for. 

  I will be heading to the Klamath  the 1st. week of September. They gave us a massive quota this year and are predicting another great run. It should even top the past few years. I have a few days available in my boat if you would like to make a late summer trip. This is your chance to bring home an ice chest full of filets for the grill or smoker.

Thanks for checking in,

Mike
