The reservoir will begin to freeze soon. Crappie fishing is likely slow as most crappie are suspeneded in deep water.

Yellow perch fishing should be fair. The biggest challenge is finding them. Look near the dam in deeper water. Fishing from shore is productive here and access is relatively easy.

Fishing bait on the bottom will be slow for brown bullhead.

The reservoir is at 51 percent full. Call the Klamath Falls BLM office for updated information. There are campgrounds, a fish cleaning station, and two nice boat ramps with docks.
