Regs — check current rules before you go
Check current ODFW regulations and Klamath Tribes fishing regulations before fishing — tribal authority governs portions of the watershed. Some sections require tribal fishing permits. Catch-and-release regulations apply on select sections. Lost River suckers are protected and cannot be retained. Seasonal closures may apply to protect spawning fish. Confirm current rules at the ODFW office in Klamath Falls.
