FISHING: Excellent
It’s hard to give Klamath Lake an Excellent rating, because some days can be a complete bust. But most days from now til the end of fall will not be. And, I'll continue to rate the lake based on how many fish are in the Rocky Point area, vacationing over the cool spring water. It is almost impossible to find a fish smaller than 18 inches, and catch rates can push two or three fish an hour over the course of a fishing day. Now you know my definition of Excellent fishing on Klamath Lake.
That said, there are plenty of fish occupying the spring areas right now. Practice casting your clear fly lines before you head out. It helps to throw all of it. Many flies are working right now but a couple in particular are getting eat’n all day long and seem to out produce the common stuff. Stop by the store to see these flies.
By the mid of July the fish banks area had 80 degree water temps. On that same day we found a spring that had 45 degree water temps. Do bring a device to measure water temperature; it is an important indication of fish being present.
Don't forget the Ultrathon bug dope, and 5x fluorocarbon leaders and tippet!!
