Klamath Falls offers some excellent Largemouth Bass fishing, particularly in the Klamath Lake system. Upper Klamath Lake and Lake Ewauna are your best bets, offering vast expanses of water with plenty of submerged vegetation and tules that provide ideal habitat for bass. Spring is the peak season, as the bass move into the shallows to spawn. Look for bedding areas in the tules and near submerged structure. Summer can also be productive, but you'll need to fish deeper as the water warms up. A local tip: Wind can be a significant factor on Upper Klamath Lake, so pay attention to the forecast and be prepared for choppy conditions. Launching at Moore Park on Upper Klamath Lake provides good access to prime fishing areas. Also, consider using weedless lures and techniques, as the heavy vegetation can make fishing challenging. The bass in Klamath Lake are known for their aggressive strikes, so hold on tight!
