UPPER KLAMATH LAKE: native redband trout, yellow perch, kokanee, pumpkinseed, brown bullhead, tui chub and blue chubFishing from shore at Howard Bay and Shoalwater Bay is improving slightly. Catch rates are still very low. Most anglers use dead minnows. Hagelstein Park above Highway 97 is now closed to protect endangered Lost River suckers (C'waam), shortnose suckers (Koptu) and redband trout. The lake is open to fishing all year.. Redband trout are moving throughout the lake making it challenging to find fish. Fishing is very slow. Best location to fish is near the outlet. The lake is also very turbid and cold. The Rocky Point area might be your best bet as water clarity is good and water temperatures are currently warmer.Please remember that nets or traps of any type cannot be used to catch any species of fish. This includes minnows to use for bait. See page 20 of the Sport Fishing Regulations for legal harvest methods for minnows and chubs. ODFW encourages catch-and-release on this fishery due to record low spawning numbers in 2020 and very low numbers in 2019 and the record setting drought from 2020 thru 2022 which reduced survival. Please fight your fish quickly and then release your fish immediately without removing it from the water. Releasing fish is easier with barbless hooks. The lake is 0.8 feet below full pool and 88 percent full.Klamath Lake water levelsPlease remember that once you retain your one redband/rainbow trout limit you must stop fishing for redband/rainbow trout. Also, all radio tagged redband trout must be released unharmed. Redband trout will have what looks to be fishing line coming from the abdomen.. Last updated 3/28/24.
