Warmwater gamefish are prevalent in the reservoir including largemouth bass, crappie, bluegill and a few yellow perch. Largemouth bass grow quite large, often to 6 pounds or bigger. Trout fishing can also be excellent in good water years.
Use standard warmwater fishing techniques such as bobber and worms, and jigs. While bait is allowed, soft plastic lures imitating worms, frog and grubs work well for largemouth bass. There is good bank access around the BLM campground.
From Klamath Falls travel on State Route 140 to Dairy, then turn right on County Road 70. Continue south on Langell Valley Road through Lorella. As you near the California border watch for a sign to the reservoir and turn left on Willow Valley Road.
