Fish species in Klose Pond

Klose Pond is a reservoir in Josephine County, Oregon.

No reliable acreage is listed for Klose Pond, so begin with visible cover and the first clear change in depth.

Fish and Baits

Fish listed for Klose Pond include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Cutthroat Trout, and Largemouth Bass.

During a check of nearby water near a windblown shore near firm bottom, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.

During a warm summer afternoon near the downwind side before changing areas, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.

During the first pass near a narrow cove after warm rain, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.

How to Read the Water

During the start of a weather change near a channel bend where food is present, start where two things meet: weeds and open water, rock and mud, a point and a drop, or clear water and dirty water; fish that edge at more than one depth before leaving it.

Season by Season

During a low-light period near a clean gravel patch after warm rain, spring runoff can add color and pull fish toward fresh water; green weeds and the first drop become stronger summer targets; in fall, follow bait toward points and shallow flats, while winter rewards a slower search.

A Simple Tackle Plan

During the first hour near a soft-to-hard bottom change in stained water, a light spinning rod, thin line, a few small spoons, inline spinners, and jigs cover the listed trout; carry one slightly heavier setup when other fish or windy water call for more control.

During a calm morning near the edge of deeper water after a cold night, record the wind, water color, depth along the best drop, and cover after a bite; those four notes are more useful on the next trip than a long list of spots that did not produce.
