Trout fishing continues to be good at Howard Prairie Reservoir despite low water conditions. Trolling wedding ring/worm combinations behind flashers and dodgers in the channel between the marina and the dam is producing fish. Still fishing powerbait is also picking up fish: hoxie cove, red rock cove and near the dam. Chartreuse PowerBait with glitter and green garlic PowerBait were used by some anglers over the weekend. Holdover trout to 17-inches continue to be caught. A 23-inch, 3.2 pound rainbow trout caught by Kaiden Patrick, from Klamath Falls was caught 2 weeks ago.

Fishing for largemouth and smallmouth bass is good. The lake is 46 percent full, and water clarity has been reduced somewhat due to some evidence of an algae bloom. All the boat ramps except Grizzly are open, but the ramps at Klum and Willow Point are limited to small boats. Larger boats should launch at the resort ramp.
