Saturday, Jul 01 2023
The Klamath is dropping, but its dirty all the way to the mouth. Thunderstorms in previously burned areas upriver have again turned the river dark copper. It looks like it may be some time before it turns green. The recreational spring salmon fishery, which usually begins July 1, has been cancelled as well as fishing for fall Chinook. Summer steelhead fishing should kickoff towards the end of July when flows return to normal. As of Sunday, flows were right around 8,800 cfs on the lower river, 5,200 cfs at Orleans, and 2,300 cfs further upstream in the Seiad Valley.
