It’s been a pretty good season for albacore tuna off the North Coast, but it now looks to be slowing down as the warm, blue water has faded off our coast.

Steelhead have been pouring into the Klamath for the last couple weeks, and the fishing is excellent right now. Even with the water being a little on the dirty side from the rain, it hasn’t slowed down the bite. Cooler water temps have also helped.
