Ultimate Siskiyou Fishing Adventure

Planning the ultimate fishing adventure in Siskiyou just got easier! We have created the perfect itinerary for beginners or seasoned fishermen to get the ultimate fishing experience when they venture out to California’s North.

Where to Fish

Siskiyou County is a paradise for anglers, boasting cool water rivers and streams alongside pristine mountain lakes. Notable waterways include the Klamath, McCloud, and upper Sacramento Rivers, as well as the scenic Lakes Shastina and Siskiyou. Freshwater sport fishermen flock here in pursuit of various bass and trout species, especially brown and rainbow trout, chinook salmon, and steelhead. Fly fishing enthusiasts particularly favor the McCloud and upper Sacramento Rivers, while North and West Siskiyou is renowned for some of the best steelhead waters in the state, especially along the mighty Klamath. Our lakes offer a more relaxed experience and can be great for families. You can fish from the shore, a dock or a boat, just check with regulations at your spot of choice before heading out. Also, don’t forget to purchase a California fishing license before you go. You can do this online or at local tackle shops, or online through CA Fish and Wildlife.
