Fishing on all rivers, streams and lakes in the Klamath National Forest is regulated by the California Dept of Fish and Wildlife.  A current valid California fishing license is required for all anglers over 16 years of age.  Contact the Dept of Fish and Wildlife for fishing seasons, limits and bag limits.

Hunting is a seasonal activity, and the rules are simple: Follow the state laws and regulations pertaining to hunting, including seasons, dates and licensing. Forests and grasslands may place some areas as off limits to hunting. So check in with your local Forest Service ranger to be sure you are following all the rules.

Hunting is permitted during hunting seasons designated by the California State Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW). Licenses are available Online, at any CDFW License Sales Office or License Agent.

Hunters must have in their possession all required licenses and tags.
