Anglers are ice fishing. The reservoir can be a good ice fishing destination. Be prepared to hike into the reservoir as the roads might not be plowed.

Fish sampling by Bureau of Reclamation this year showed incredible densities of yellow perch and some larger crappie. Use small hooks and bait for the perch as most are small with small mouths.

Best place to fish for perch is at the north boat ramp. Crappie are suspended in the main part of the reservoir or near deeper water.

The reservoir is 34 percent full. Call the Klamath Falls BLM office for updated information. A higher lake level improves the crappie fishery.
