High Mountain lakes and crystal-clear streams offer trout fishing at its best. Hike into one of many wilderness areas in the region for a weekend of solitude or a memorable family outing. Public and private campgrounds are plentiful. Fishing tackle and other supplies are usually found in a store nearby.

Trophy trout exceeding 10 pounds migrate annually between the nutrient-rich waters of Upper Klamath Lake and spawning beds in the frigid spring-fed streams on the fringes of Crater Lake National Park - a fly fisherman's paradise.

Warmwater species such as largemouth bass, Sacramento and yellow perch, crappie and catfish lurk in many small lakes and reservoirs throughout the region - including many little-known scenic spots waiting to be discovered by the general public.

Fishing is at its best from May through November, although ice fishing is popular at some lakes. Whenever you decide to try your luck, don't forget to take advantage of other recreation activities found nearby, such as wildlife viewing, hiking or sight-seeing.
