Klamath Dams removal update

As you have probably heard, the reservoir drawdown behind some of the dams on the Klamath River has begun. See the chart above for the flows on the Klamath below Iron Gate Dam, the lowest of the dams that will be removed later this year. Here are some entertaining videos on YouTube showing the releases and an article with some background from OPB. Like many of you, I have been closely watching the dam removal for the obvious reason that removal is good for the environment but I also like to fish the Klamath River for steelhead. If you live in Central Oregon you might want to come to the next meeting of Central Oregon Flyfishers where I will present on fishing the river last year. Guests are always welcome.
