_______________________________________

The headwaters of the Klickitat originate on the slopes of Mount Adams. The topographic map shows an incredible myriad of small streams combining to form this glacial waterway and the river is home to a strong Fall Chinook and Summer Steelhead run.

The landscape is unique and predominantly a combination of scrub oak, pine trees and cottonwood. The watershed is home to a large population of deer, turkey, cougar and elk.

The drainage is quite steep and in fact some of the lower portions of the river are not navigable due to class 5+ falls. The river tumbles into the Columbia approximately 90miles from the salt and some of the steelhead that inhabit the Klick are of the Skamania strain. This can equate to some rather large summer run steelhead.

During the heat of Summer the fishing can be a bit sketchy due to the lack of clarity in the river. However, once the weather patterns cool down a bit, the river's clarity will typically be in the 3 to 5 foot range.

We fish the river with the nymph and on the swing. Spey rods are a useful tool as are single handers. While the Klickitat is not in the Olympic Peninsula like the Hoh river is, it shares some of the same characteristics. It is a glacial river that can change significantly in specific stretches and be a completly different river from year to year. Come spend a day with us on the KLICK.

Our day and multiple day trips are based on a full day or series of full days. Accessing the river can be by boat, walk/wade, bike/wade. If you have a preference or would like to mix and match your itinerary...Let us know!
