Western Drainages
The compiled range extends from the Rogue River in Oregon toward the Trinity system in California. Its scientific name is Catostomus rimiculus. The Klamath common name should not be interpreted as a restriction to one lake or as an identification of every sucker in that region.
River Habitat
Fish occur mainly in pools and runs over bottoms that can include silt and rock. Reservoir use is also reported. The actual current and substrate help distinguish a river observation from an impounded-water record without assuming the species uses only one setting.
Size and Comparison
The maximum reference is fifty centimeters total length. Several suckers overlap within western drainages, so a regional name and large body alone do not settle identification. Preserve the mouth, lips, body and fins along with the collection locality for a useful comparison.
Keep the Species with the Measurement
Klamath Smallscale and Klamath Largescale suckers are separate named fishes. Their length references and habitat records should not be merged.
