Fish sampling by Bureau of Reclamation has been slow this year. The amount of water and colder water temperatures might be part of this. Use small hooks and bait for the perch as most are small with small mouths. The Ben Halla nd Barnes Valley arms should be good soon.

Best place to fish for perch is at the north boat ramp. The crappie should be moving soon to near shore for spawning.

The reservoir is 97 percent full and should fill this year creating excellent opportunities for crappie. Call the Klamath Falls BLM office for updated information.
