Guided trips
Trophy redband trout in the Klamath Basin
Trophy redband trips offer some of the best trout fishing anywhere. These fish average 5 to 7 pounds, and bigger fish commonly reach 10 to 12 pounds.
Logan fishes Upper Klamath Lake along with the Williamson and Wood rivers, using either the powerboat or the drift boat to fit 2 to 6 people. It’s a great trip for families and friends, a chance to sharpen your skills, and a shot at the trout of a lifetime. All redband trips are catch and release.
Why Klamath redbands are special
Klamath Basin redbands grow big feeding in the lake’s rich water and then push into the cold tributaries. Few places in the West produce wild trout this size on a regular basis.
