Williamson River 

Giant rainbows are what the spring fed Williamson River is known for. Five pound native redband rainbow trout are common here.
On many flyfisherman’s lifetime list, the Williamson can offer opportunities at native rainbows weighing 10 pounds and more. Truly a trophy trout river the Williamson River is easily the finest river to fish for big native rainbows in the United States and has earned a healthy respect among fisheries around the world.
The Williamson River is a slow moving quiet river and offers a cool respite to fish from shallow Klamath & Agency Lakes. As the lakes warm the fish move into the Williamson increasing its already impressive numbers. It is not uncommon to fish over a pod of 50 – 150 fish in one pool.
Fishing is done from fly fishing driftboats and rafts set up to accommodate one guest in front, one in back and your guide in the middle rowing seat. Fishing on the lower river is almost exclusively done from the boat. Wade trips on the upper stretches are also available as either a walk-in trip or a float and wade trip.
A variety of techniques are implemented on this diverse river. Stripping streamers through a holding area is a proven way to catch fish in this system.
