Important Note About Dredge Density Levels

DREDGE DENSITY LEVELS: No more than 10 dredges per mile of Club claims are allowed along the Klamath River. No more than 8 dredges per mile of Club claims are allowed along the Scott and Salmon Rivers. No more than 3 dredges per mile of Club claims are allowed on Elk, Indian and Thompson Creeks. Dredges are permitted on a first come, first served basis, but they must be operated to maintain a position along our claims.

For those members who think the Main Stem of the Salmon River is beautiful, just wait until you see how nice it is up the North Fork! The area is like something right out of a story book. The views coming in from the upper road out of Etna (from Yreka) are outstanding!

By the way, the road in from Yreka (through Etna) is generally better than the lower road in from Somes Bar at the mouth of the Salmon. Although it is steeper in places, it is generally wider and a better road. If you are traveling from Interstate 5, you can probably save a few hours by going to the North Fork through Etna. Please look at the enclosed full-color map to get a better look at this.

Forks of the Salmon ("Forks") is a small community that is located around 19 miles up the Main Stem from the mouth of the Salmon. It is where the Main Stem meets both the North and South Forks. There is a post office there, a small store and a place that sells fuel and propane. We will use the Forks as a reference point to describe where our claims are along the North Fork:
