Crappie fishing is likely slow as most crappie are suspeneded in deep water.

Best place to fish for perch is at the north boat ramp. Use small hooks and bait for the perch as most are small with small mouths.

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

The reservoir is 84 percent full creating good opportunities for crappie. Call the Klamath Falls BLM office for updated information.
