For the past two weeks, salmon have been stacking up below Iron Gate Dam on the upper Klamath River and fishing has been good.
Guide Andy Martin of Wild Rivers Fishing (www.wildriversfishing.com) says his clients have been getting 8 to 10 fish a day, plus several more hookups.
Pulling plugs, especially the new Mag Lips chrome and chartreuse plug from Worden's has been good. Andy says to wrap the plug with a sardine fillet.
The plugs have worked well below the hatchery deadline.
Back-Bouncing roe cured in Pautzke's Fire Cure or BorxOFire also has produced.
The peak of the Upper Klamath salmon run is in mid-October, so fishing should remain good for a few weeks.
You can keep three salmon a day on the Klamath (two adults). Barbless hooks must be used.
