The Klamath River can spoil a steelhead guide. It stays in shape under all but the most severe storms and “greens-up quickly should a deluge knock it out. Both summer and winter fish extend the upper river’s season from October into March and its half-pounder component can make a day of steelheading seem more like a good day of trout fishing. From Iron Gate Reservoir to Klamathon Bridge, only Bogus Creek serves as a vital spawning tributary yet, surprisingly strong returns of wild steelhead fill its riffles and runs. Even with everything that makes the river great, it’s not always on fire. Over January 15th, 16th, and 30th, Craig Nielson (Shasta Trout) and I guided the upper beat with two groups of anglers and everyone landed fish each day; an impressive feat steelhead fishing anywhere.
