The Klamath River Report

Klamath River weather conditions, river levels, river water quality, and the status of public trails, roads and infrastructure all impact your visit to the Klamath River area. We hope this compilation of resources & data links helps in your planning a safe and enjoyable visit to the Klamath River corridor and to our California guest ranch in particular. Our area of focus for this report will be the middle Klamath corridor between Seiad Valley and Weitchpec with a focus on Somes Bar (our home). This is the Klamath River Section we are most capable of providing first hand information for.

Klamath River Special Alert 5/04/10 All of the slides covering the Highway 96 near Somes Bar and the Salmon River Road have now been opened and are passable. Good news for the boaters this Spring! River Flows Alert 07/15/2010 We are back to summer flows, with river sections in low flows. I am seeing signs of the summer moss/algae in a few spots again. But...flows are still much better this year than last year. Enjoy the ride!

Steelhead and Salmon entry - this is the spot I hold in reserve for my fantasy real-time graphs showing sonar fish counts as incoming steelhead and salmon move past the Hwy 101 bridge, as they turn up the Trinity, and as the remainder pass under the Hwy 96 bridge at Weitchepec. Hey, why not dream a little? For now, you can always get a Klamath river fishing report by calling Marble Mountain Ranch at 800-552-6284 or reading our blog "Steelhead on the fly".
