Fishing Not Recommended at this Time

Link River - Klamath Falls , OR (Klamath County)

Fishing not recommended at this time. Fishing regulations for the Link River changed on Jan. 1, 2021. New regulations include catch-and-release for redband/rainbow trout and no bait allowed (artificial flies and lures only). This change is due to record low spawning escapement for trophy redband trout throughout the Klamath Basin in 2020.

Flows have increased to 1,130 cfs. Redband trout numbers in the Link River are very low. Most redband trout have moved out of the Link River.

Check Link River Flows.

ODFW also encourages the use of single barbless hooks in this fishery, not removing fish from the water and catch-and-release rubber nets.
