Some of the best steelhead fishing in recent years on the Klamath has kept anglers busy as we await the arrival of the fall kings. There’s been flurries of fish moving in the estuary and below the U.S. Highway101 bridge, but not many are choosing to head upriver as of yet. The water temperatures cooled by a couple degrees Monday and quite a few fresh steelhead and jacks moved into the lower river. The big kings should start to move any time, especially with the water starting to cool down. According to Dan Troxel, an environmental scientist on the Klamath River Project, only 47 adult salmon had been harvested from the State Route 96 bridge at Weitchpec to the Klamath mouth toward the quota of 611 for the week ending Thursday Aug. 19. Of those, 20 adults were caught at the spit area of the mouth. As of last Friday, 163 adults remained of the 183-adult sub-quota for the mouth. If the fishing doesn’t bust open soon, there is some help on the way. Reportedly, flows coming out of the Trinity are scheduled to increase Sept. 3 for the ceremonial Hoopa Boat Dance. Flows are predicted to peak at 2,800 cubic feet per second on the Hoopa gauge Sept. 5 or Sept. 6 and then ramp back down by Sept. 8.
Marine forecast Gale force northerly gusts are forecast to develop Friday across the outer waters north of Cape Mendocino. Winds nearshore will generally be lighter. However, seas will grow steeper through the end of the week and over the weekend. Out 10 nautical miles north of the Cape, Friday’s forecast is calling for north winds 15 to 25 knots and waves out of the north 9 feet at nine seconds. Saturday is calling for north winds 5 to15 knots and waves northwest 8 feet at eight seconds. Sunday, winds will be out of the north at 5 to 15 knots and waves northwest 8 feet at eight seconds. These conditions can and will change by the weekend. For an up-to-date weather forecast, visit www.weather.gov/eureka/ or www.windy.com.

Trinity River quotas begin on Sept. 1 Fall regulations for Chinook salmon fishing on the Trinity River will go into effect on Sept. 1 and run through Dec. 31, with a sport quota of 402 adults. The quota will be split evenly; 201 adults for the main stem Trinity downstream of the Old Lewiston Bridge to the Highway 299 West bridge at Cedar Flat and 201 adults for the main stem Trinity downstream of the Denny Road bridge at Hawkins Bar to the confluence with the Klamath. The main stem downstream of the Highway 299 Bridge at Cedar Flat to the Denny Road Bridge in Hawkins Bar is closed to all fishing September 1 through December 31. Anglers may keep track of the Klamath and Trinity river quotas by calling 800-564-6479. For Klamath and Trinity fishing regulations, visit www.nrm.dfg.ca.gov/FileHandler.ashx?DocumentID=169262&inline

The Oceans: Eureka Wind and rough ocean conditions have kept the Eureka boats tied up for well over a week. There is a brief weather window for Wednesday and Thursday before the wind returns by the weekend. According to Tim Klassen, of Reel Steel Sport Fishing, the tuna water is still within reach. “The warm water is roughly 40 to 45 miles from Eureka,” said Klassen. “We just need some decent weather.” Trinidad Curt Wilson, of Wind Rose Charters, reports the black rockfish action remains steady between the Head and Patrick’s Point. “We’re catching a few lingcod everyday along with the blacks, but not a ton of other variety are in close right now,” he said.
Shelter Cove The salmon bite has been pretty good this week, reports Jake Mitchell, of Sea Hawk Sport Fishing. “We had limits most days of nice quality kings up to 32 pounds,” Mitchell said. “We’ve been getting them just south of the harbor around the bell buoy. The rock fishing was stellar, as well, as we limited on rockfish a few days after our salmon. The lingcod bite remains inconsistent with about a fish per rod average.”
Crescent City Windy conditions have slowed the offshore fishing out of Crescent City. A few boats are getting out early in the morning and hitting spots close to the harbor for limits of rockfish and some lingcod. The Sisters continues to be one of the better locations. The tuna water is still sitting 30 miles straight out of Crescent City, but conditions don’t look great for the remainder of the week and the weekend.
Brookings Rough, windy weather kept the fleet at the docks out of Brookings last week and over the weekend according to Andy Martin of Brookings Fishing Charters. He said, “The ocean finally calmed enough for inshore bottom fishing on Monday. Thursday looks like the next opportunity for tuna, with 60-degree water a little less than 30 miles straight out. King season is closed, while hatchery coho may be kept through Aug. 28. Fishing was good for Pacific halibut a week ago, and should be good again this calmer weather mid-week.”
The Rivers: Lower Klamath The stellar steelhead fishing is still going strong on the lower Klamath. The river is full of half-pounders, along with lots of adults running 3 to 6 pounds. More jacks entered the river Monday and quite a few boats were getting limits. Very few adults are being caught, but that could change at any time, especially with the water temps starting to cool. The estuary fishery isn’t red-hot, but a few are being caught by boats trolling anchovies. Most of the fishing pressure has moved upriver.
Lower Rogue The Rogue Bay fished very well last week before increases flows from Lost Creek Dam sent many of the salmon help up in the estuary upriver according to Martin. “After a slow weekend, the bite improved again Monday. Summer steelhead are being caught from Lobster Creek to Agness. A few wild coho also are now being caught in the bay,” Martin said.

And what an epic bite it was! The onslaught began last Thursday out of Crescent City and didn’t let up until Sunday, when the ocean turned sporty. Fish were caught out of Shelter Cove but the best bite was near Crescent City. Boats leaving Eureka headed northwest to the area off of the mouth of the Klamath River. There was a huge swath of tuna from there north to Brookings. Boats leaving Crescent City met the warm water and boatloads of tuna at 20 miles. The Trinidad boats got in on the action, as well. Tony Sepulveda, of Shellback Sport Fishing, was one of the charters that made the run Friday and Saturday. “Tuna were caught as close as 34 miles northwest of Trinidad,” said Sepulveda. “We did our heavy lifting around 45 miles. The fishing on Friday was ridiculous, with 76 by noon. We had lots of quads, five-ways and even six-bangers. We didn’t have live bait available but did real well sliding colt snipers after the troll rods went off. Saturday was busy but they were a little more tentative. No long dry spells but lots of singles and we ended the day with 37.” Scores were all over the board, ranging from high teens to more than 70 for some boats. A boat fishing out of Brookings even announced a limit of 75 for three anglers by 8:30 a.m. The best way to describe this level of fishing – everyone who went “got all they wanted.” The grade of fish was mixed, ranging from 8 pounds all the way to the high 30s.
Weekend marine forecast Gale force winds will produce steep seas for most of this week. Friday’s forecast is calling for winds 15 to 25 knots out of the north and north waves 10 feet at 10 seconds. Saturday is calling for north winds 5 to 15 knots and waves out of the northwest 7 feet at eight seconds. Sunday’s forecast is similar, with winds out of the north 5 to 15 knots and waves northwest 7 feet at nine seconds and 3 feet at 11 seconds. These conditions can and will change by the weekend.

You can also call the National Weather Service at 443-7062 or the office on Woodley Island at 443-6484.
The Oceans: Eureka The tuna water was quite a way from Eureka, but a few boats did make the long 50-plus-mile run. Quite a few of the Eureka boats opted to trailer to Crescent City to get in on the bite from there. The boats that stayed put took advantage of the nice weather and headed to the Cape for rockfish. Tim Klassen, of Reel Steel Sport Fishing, reports the fishing is really good, with easy limits of rockfish. “The blacks are big and plentiful and it’s really easy to catch a quick limit,” he said. “The lingcod were a bit tougher to come by as the wind kept us from getting to some of the better spots, but we did manage to get quite a few.”

Trinidad Curt Wilson, of Wind Rose Charters, reports the rockfish action is cranking right along, with lots of black rockfish coming over the rails. “Between the Head and Patrick’s Point is still producing quality limits of black rockfish,” he said. “We made a couple trips out to Reading Rock over the weekend and caught a wide variety of rockfish and some nice lingcod. The wind this week may keep us off the water for a few days.” The boat launch is operating from 7 a.m. until 3 p.m.
Shelter Cove According to Jake Mitchell, of Sea Hawk Sport Fishing, there are still some nice salmon being caught. “It’s not red hot but the average is probably about a fish per angler,” he said. “Some days are better than others as it hasn’t been real consistent. Still lots of bait in close to the harbor and that’s where most of the effort has been. We made our first tuna run on Thursday 57 miles out past Gorda Valley. The grade was pretty small for the most part but there was plenty of action. In five hours of fishing, we boated 55 albacore. Rock fishing was still easy limits with about a lingcod per rod on the days we tried. Most of the rockfish are being caught at the Hat and the Old Man.”
Crescent City The tuna fishing was wide-open Thursday through Sunday with fish as close as 20 miles. The rockfish and lingcod bite is still going strong at the Sisters and the South Reef. A few California halibut are being caught along South Beach as well as a few Threshers.
Brookings “Last week was nothing short of phenomenal out of Brookings,” said Andy Martin of Brookings Fishing Charters. “The albacore came within 18 miles and the bite was wide-open, while the Pacific halibut action also was wide-open. We ran eight albacore trips last week on four different charters and averaged 30 fish a day. We could have caught more, but there was no more room or ice. The best catch was 74 fish on the Dash on Friday, with some fish over 30 pounds. Two of our charters caught limits of Pacific halibut on Sunday in around 200 feet of water just north of the border. The biggest halibut was around 45 pounds. Salmon season closed for kings on Sunday, with slow fishing. It remains open for hatchery coho through Aug. 28, but the vast majority of the clipped fish have moved north. Rockfish action is good, while lingcod fishing is fair. Sport crabbing remains slow. Windy weather will sideline the fleet much of this week.
The Rivers Lower Klamath The estuary fishery has slowed down as we wait for the fall kings to come in big numbers and make their way upriver. As of Wednesday, there weren’t many salmon being caught above tidewater, but there are plenty of half-pounders and adult steelhead around. Fall regulations went into effect Sunday, Aug. 15. The daily bag limit will be two Chinook, no more than one adult (greater than 23 inches) and the possession limit is six, no more than three adults.
Lower Rogue After a hit-and-miss week of fishing on the Rogue Bay, the action heated up with some guides getting boat limits Monday and Tuesday, and many getting at least a fish per rod reports Martin. He said, “The bay is fishing in peak-season from. Plain anchovies are working best. Fish are spread throughout the bay. Windy weather could making trolling the bay more challenging this week.”

Fall regulations will begin Sunday, Aug. 15 on the Klamath River, triggering the start of the fall salmon quota. The California Fish and Game Commission adopted bag and possession limits for the Klamath Basin based on a quota of 1,221 fall-run adult kings. On the Klamath, the fall season closes Dec. 31. The fall season on the Trinity begins Sept. 1 and closes Dec. 31.
On the Lower Klamath, from the State Route 96 bridge at Weitchpec to the mouth, 611 adults will be allowed for sport harvest. The section above the bridge at Weitchpec to 3,500 feet downstream of the Iron Gate Dam will get 208 adults.
The Spit Area (within 100 yards of the channel through the sand spit formed at the Klamath River mouth) will close when 15 percent of the total Klamath River Basin quota is taken downstream of the U.S. Highway 101 bridge. In 2021, 183 adults can be harvested below the U.S. Highway 101 bridge before the closure at the mouth is implemented. The rest of the area below U.S. Highway 101 (the estuary) will remain open to recreational fishing. Important reminder: All legally caught Chinook salmon must be retained while fishing the spit. Once the adult component of the total daily bag limit has been retained, anglers must cease fishing in the spit area.
On the Trinity side, the quota is set at 402 adults. The quota will be split evenly: 201 adults for the main stem Trinity downstream of the Old Lewiston Bridge to the State Route 299 West bridge at Cedar Flat, and 201 adults for the main stem Trinity downstream of the Denny Road bridge at Hawkins Bar to the confluence with the Klamath.
The daily bag limit will be two Chinook salmon, no more than one of which may be greater than 23 inches, and a possession limit of six, of which only three may be longer than 23 inches. Once these quotas have been met, no Chinook salmon longer than 23 inches may be retained (anglers may still retain a limit of Chinook salmon less than 23 inches in length).
Visit www.nrm.dfg.ca.gov/FileHandler.ashx?DocumentID=193634&inline for a complete list of regulations. Additional information can be found on the Klamath-Trinity River hotline at 1-800-564-6479. All anglers on the Trinity and Klamath rivers must have salmon harvest cards in their possession when fishing for salmon.
Razor Clam fishery opens in Humboldt County After a closure that lasted five years due to domoic acid, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) Director has opened the recreational razor clam fishery in Humboldt County. In a press release issued on Tuesday, state health agencies recommended that the consumption of razor clams in the area no longer poses a significant threat for domoic acid exposure. Testing of razor clams at Clam Beach, Humboldt County in June and July 2021, indicated all clams were below the federal action level for domoic acid of 20 parts per million. This announcement arrives several months after the fishery opened in Del Norte County. With the opening of Humboldt County, no domoic acid closures remain in effect for razor clams.
CDFW reminds clammers that the daily bag limit for razor clams is 20 and the first 20 clams dug must be retained regardless of size or condition. During odd-numbered years, Clam Beach (also known as Little River Beach) in Humboldt County, is only open between Moonstone Beach and north of the boundary line due west from the Clam Beach south parking lot trailhead (40° 59.67’ N. lat.). Effective March 8, 2021, each person is required to keep a separate container for their clams and is not allowed to commingle their take with another person when digging and transporting clams to shore. For specific razor clam regulations, visit www.wildlife.ca.gov/Fishing/Ocean/Regulations/Sport-Fishing/Invertebrate-Fishing-Regs#mollusks
Weekend marine forecast Light winds and lower seas are expected to last through the weekend. Friday’s forecast is calling for winds up to 5 knots out of the northwest and northwest waves 5 feet at 11 seconds. Saturday is calling for north winds 5 to 10 knots and waves out of the northwest 4 feet at 12 seconds. Sunday’s forecast is similar, with winds out of the north 5 to 10 knots and waves northwest 3 feet at five seconds and 3 feet at 11 seconds. These conditions can and will change by the weekend.

The Oceans: Eureka According to Tim Klassen of Reel Steel Sport Fishing, the tuna water looked promising a couple of days ago, but it looks like the wind may have done a number on it. “The latest Terrafin shots didn’t look all that great,” said Klassen. It doesn’t look like Eureka will get in on this round, as it looks much better up off Crescent City now.” Ocean conditions look great through the weekend. This will be a good opportunity to head south to Cape Mendocino for rockfish and lingcod.
Trinidad The rockfish bite out of Trinidad remains excellent according to Curt Wilson of Wind Rose Charters. He said, “The lingcod bite has really picked up. They’ve definitely moved in closer to shore. The fishing is good from right out front all the way to Patrick’s Point, it hasn’t really slowed down. When the weather allows, fishing at Reading Rock is wide-open. The lingcod have really been on the bite and limits are coming easy with fish to 25 pounds and plenty in the high teens.”
Shelter Cove Like everywhere else along the coast, tuna is on everyone’s mind. According to Jake Mitchell of Sea Hawk Sport Fishing, the warm water is about 50 miles straight out. “It was 40 miles out two days ago, and it may be starting to break up,” said Mitchell. “There’s a lot of boats planning on going Thursday. The rock fishing has been great, but the lingcod remains at about a fish per rod on average. There was a decent salmon bite over the weekend down by the Hat but the weather made it difficult for the sport fleet to spend much time down there. Looks like some better weather for the better part of this week.”
Crescent City Boats in search of tuna will be heading to Crescent City in force starting Thursday. The warm water is sitting only 30 miles out and it’s by far the best tuna conditions we have on the North Coast. A dozen albacore along with a dorado were caught last Thursday 30 miles offshore. If you’re planning on heading up this weekend, expect a crowd. And also, be aware of the road closures at Last Chance Grade. According to Britt Carson of Crescent City’s Englund Marine, the Sisters and the South Reef continue to provide limits of quality rockfish and lingcod. “The California halibut bite was hit and miss last week with only a few hitting the net,” said Carson. “A thresher shark was caught Thursday along with some soup fins along South Beach.”
Brookings Salmon fishing improved last week out of Brookings, where fishing remains open for kings through Aug. 15 and hatchery coho through Aug. 28 reports Andy Martin of Brookings Fishing Charters. He said, “Windy weather slowed the bite over the weekend. There also was decent halibut action last week in 200 feet of water. Boats are gearing up for albacore tuna runs beginning Thursday, setting their course for a bubble of warm water 30 miles straight out from Point St. George. A few tuna were caught last week 40-plus miles out. Fishing is good for rockfish and fair for lingcod. Andy Martin of Brookings Fishing Charters.
The Rivers: Lower Klamath The estuary fishery slowed down over the weekend, but there are still some adults and jacks being caught daily. There are some half-pounders and adult steelhead upriver. Fall regulations go into effect Sunday. The daily bag limit will be two Chinook, no more than one adult (longer than 23 inches) and the possession limit is six, no more than three adults.
Lower Rogue According to Martin, the Rogue Bay is producing big salmon, and good action at times. “Lots of salmon are held up, and can be seen splashing near the north jetty. Calmer winds this week could boost catch rates,” added Martin.

The ocean sport salmon season ended Sunday just like it began 34 days ago – quietly. Some nice kings were caught the week prior off Eureka, which led us to believe the season could potentially end on a high note. Didn’t happen. So now it’s rockfish only within the KMZ (Klamath Management Zone). However, if you’re still hankering for salmon, Shelter Cove is a pretty good option right now. Though it’s slowed down a little this week, it’s still your best bet at the moment. “The fishing pressure got pretty intense and that definitely slowed the bite,” said Jake Mitchell of Sea Hawk Sport Fishing. “The best bite had been between the launch and the bell buoy in 10 to 30 feet of water. There’s been a lot of bait in the area, mostly anchovies, herring and some small needle fish. It’s been about a fish per rod on average with a few random limits mixed in. The fish are a nice size, with quite a few tipping the scales well over 30-pounds.” The sport salmon season out of Shelter Cove will run through Oct. 31.
Weekend Marine Forecast Gusty north winds will begin to pick up as we head into the weekend. Friday’s forecast is calling for winds 5 to 15 knots out of the north and west waves 5 feet at 10 seconds. Saturday is calling for north winds 5 to 15 knots and waves out of the north 5 feet at six seconds. Sunday’s forecast is similar, with winds out of the north 5 to 15 knots and waves northwest 6 feet at seven seconds. These conditions can and will change by the weekend.

Junior Angler Fishing Day This Saturday, Aug. 7, there will be a Junior Angler Fishing Day held at Freshwater Lagoon Beach for anglers 16 and younger. Loaner fishing equipment is available for those that need it (available on a first-come-first-served basis). Get a Junior Angler program/booklet with which kids can earn a fishing badge, free stickers and other giveaways. Limited to 40 participants who need to be accompanied by an adult. Sign up is required. Call 465-7762 or emailing redw_volunteer@nps.gov.
Tuna Update The first tuna of the season was caught on Monday out of Shelter Cove. A single boat ran 50 to 55 miles towards the Gorda Valley and boated three albacore. Currently, the better conditions are off of Crescent City where the warm water is sitting within 45 miles as of Wednesday. All it will take is some calm weather to get the boats out looking.
The Oceans: Eureka With the sport salmon season now closed, full attention will turn to rockfish at Cape Mendocino. According to Tim Klassen of Reel Steel Sport Fishing, the bite has been excellent this week. “The black rockfish are like piranha’s and are very aggressive biters, said Klassen. “They are a good size as well; we’re seeing a lot of 5 to 6-pounders. The ling cod bite has been good too, and we’re able to get limits or very close to it most days. The weather looks good at least through Thursday before the wind picks back up.”
Trinidad “Rockfish out of Trinidad remains limit-style fishing,” said Curt Wilson of Wind Rose Charters. “The weather the past few days allowed us to venture out to Reading Rock where the fishing is outstanding,” said Wilson. “The lingcod have really moved in at the Rock and we’re getting limits pretty quickly with fish up to 30-pounds. Closer to home, the black rockfish bite is still wide-open between the Head and Patrick’s Point. A bunch of big canary rockfish have shown up as well.”
Crescent City According to Britt Carson of Crescent City’s Englund Marine, the rockfish bite is still wide-open. He said, “The Sisters and the South Reef continue to provide limits. The California halibut bite was decent this week and quite a few are being caught daily off of South Beach by trollers and by anglers tossing jigs off the rocks.” Brookings After weeks of slow fishing, action improved for both Pacific halibut and salmon out of Brookings over the weekend, mainly because of calmer weather conditions reports Andy Martin of Brookings Fishing Charters He said, “Boats were able to get offshore, where action has been decent for halibut and salmon. Kings are being caught in 250 feet of water straight out from the harbor. Halibut are in 180 to 200 feet. Several boats had multiple fish on Saturday, Sunday and Monday when returning from the offshore water. Action remains good for rockfish and fair for lingcod. A few boats are preparing to search for tuna with Friday’s good forecast.”
The Rivers: Lower Klamath The estuary fishery remains inconsistent and the bite varies from tide to tide and day to day. A handful of adult kings along with some jacks are being caught daily. It will likely be this way until we see the first big push of fall salmon enter the river. Spring-run regulations are in effect through Aug. 14, with a daily bag and possession limit of one salmon of any size.
Lower Rogue The Rogue Bay fished well over the weekend, with a fish or two for many boats according to Martin. “The size of the salmon is impressive, with a handful of 30-pounders a day being weighed in. Lots of jacks have arrived as well. Good tides this week could lead to even better action,” added Martin.
