The reservoir is now a river. All boat ramps are closed. Accessing the river is not recommended due to deep sediment. The old reservoir will now change to the Klamath River regulations, which are no bait allowed and one redband/rainbow trout in the 12- to 15-inch size class. Fishing will be closed June 15-Oct. 1 from Keno Dam downstream to Highway 66 Bridge.
