The lake is dominated by stunted yellow perch

Lake Of The Woods - Klamath Falls, OR (Klamath County)

Fishing for rainbow trout is slow. Trout typically hold in 15 feet of water when water temperature are warm. Using a downrigger or heavier lines can improve catch rates. For recent fishing updates, call the resort at 1-866-201-4194. ‌

The lake is dominated by stunted yellow perch. Very small bait and hooks will catch these fish. Yellow perch fishing should be fair. Fishing bait near the submerged vegetation beds can be good for brown bullhead.‌

Fishing for warmwater fish should be good this week with hot weather moving in. Fishing for largemouth bass along the many docks on the lake can be productive. Smallmouth bass fishing has been good around the rocky areas northwest of the lodge.‌
