Water conditions on the lower Klamath continue to be dirty and unfishable due dam removal work upriver. There are fish making their way into the river, but most anglers and guides have moved to other rivers. Hopefully water conditions start to improve at some point, but it remains to be seen if it happens before the king run is over.

The daily bag limit is two hatchery steelhead or hatchery trout per day on both the Klamath and Trinity rivers, with a possession limit of four. Anglers must have a Steelhead Fishing Report and Restoration Card in their possession while fishing for steelhead trout in anadromous waters. The recreational fall salmon fishery is closed to the take of Chinook. More information, can be found here.
