"The Wood River will find its niche in the heart of every spring creek angler."
Originating from a large spring in Kimball State Park, northeast of Fort Klamath, the Wood River is a true spring creek that challenges even the most skilled anglers. Spring and summer bring opportunities to catch large resident Brown trout, sometimes up to ten pounds, while fall sees the arrival of migratory Rainbow trout.
A day on the Wood is as much a feast for the eyes as it is for the angler. Owls, hawks, eagles, foxes, otters, muskrats, beavers, and vibrant wildflowers accompany you along the gentle, gin-clear waters. Towering mountains and peaceful solitude provide the perfect backdrop as we float in search of feeding trout.
Wood River Brown Trout
Fishing the Wood River
Season: May 1 through October 31
The Wood River offers a full spectrum of seasonal hatches and challenges for the devoted angler. Early season (May to July) brings PMD mayflies, followed by green drakes, BWOs, and other mayflies and caddis. In August, it's grasshopper season, the perfect time to cast large hopper patterns along the banks. Fall brings another spectacular hatch of BWOs and Mahogany Duns, rivaling the early season PMDs in size and intensity.
For those seeking bigger trout, streamer fishing with sinking lines can produce impressive resident Browns throughout the season.
A day on the Wood River is truly unforgettable, a visual and angling feast, full of wildlife, wildflowers, and gin-clear water that makes every cast a pleasure.
