If you have never been to the Klamath River in Northern California you are in for a real delight. The Klamath River area is one of the most beautiful and pristine areas left in California. The splendor of this steep mountainous region is indescribable. The run of salmon and steelhead are returning in historic proportions. Seiad Valley's location provides accessibility to a large portion of the river with a minimum of driving time. This river is consistently a high class act. It combines tranquility with the heart pounding excitement of having a steelhead rip out your line to the backing. The salmon season is fast and furious, last years clients complained that their arms got sore from bringing in so many big ones.

Steelhead Fishing In California - Seiad Valley is located approximately midstream on the "Klamath River" in the State of California. Famous for being the Steelhead Capital of the World, this location enables a large portion of the river readily accessible with minimum driving time, which enables your fishing guide to take you to where the fish are, up or down stream.
We also offer trips on the lower Klamath River from our jet boat. Spring and fall run chinooks are the major players of this fishery. During the late summer months into fall the steelhead are also making their way up stream.
During the winter months we are on the Smith and Chetco rivers. Here is where you will be fishing for some of the greatest fishing steelhead on the west coast. Both rivers boast state records for salmon and steelhead.
In the spring we head to the Sacramento River for the big run of striped bass. This season goes from mid April to late May.
