Williamson River

Trophy Klamath Basin Redband Trout

June 10th - Oct 31st

‍ ‍

The Klamath Basin is home to the Great Basin Redband trout. Klamath Lake is extremely rich with food for these Redband Trout leading to rapid growth rates that are among some of the fastest in the nation. These fish are known to grow to massive size and migrate from the lake up these Spring fed rivers in the summer months to seek the cold water temperatures of the Williamson and Wood Rivers. Our preferred method for these technical spring fed rivers is slow swinging and stripping streamers but we will also have opportunities with dry flies and nymphing tactics. Although most days see good numbers of Redband rainbow trout, this is a trophy trout fishery and we are targeting your true trout of a lifetime. With many trout over 20 inches and they can be up to and surpassing 30 inches and 10 pounds. We do not speak lightly when we say your potential for your true trout of a lifetime exists here. Brown Trout also call these waters home in lesser numbers.
