Fish species in Snow Lakes

Official stocking history

Stocking records show that the following fish or strains were stocked here. A historical stocking does not by itself prove that a self-sustaining population remains today.

Snow Lakes in the north-central part of Klamath County is a lake in Oregon.

Use the shape you can see at Snow Lakes: check the best cover, the first drop, and one open-water line before moving.

Fish and Baits

Fish listed for Snow Lakes include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, and Largemouth Bass.

During a check of nearby water near a shaded bank in stained water, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.

During the start of a weather change near the mouth of a pocket with a slow lure, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.

During a calm morning near scattered wood while the water is rising, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.

During a low-light period near the first break near firm bottom, Rainbow Trout have also been stocked here; that proves fish were released, but it does not promise that they are still common or easy to catch.

How to Read the Water

During a bright afternoon near a clean gravel patch with a slow lure, use wind as a clue; a light push can carry food toward a bank, but hard wind may muddy it, so look for a clean edge near a point or protected pocket.

Season by Season

During a warm summer afternoon near scattered wood away from empty shoreline, spring fishing starts with warming banks, creek mouths, and shallow cover; summer usually pushes the better bite toward the outside weed edge or a nearby drop; fall can bring bait back to windblown points, while winter calls for smaller moves and a slower pace.

A Simple Tackle Plan

During a careful second pass near the downwind side after warm rain, a medium spinning rod, 8-pound line, a small box of jigs, a few crankbaits, and a simple bottom rig cover most situations; change depth or speed before changing every piece of tackle.

During a calm morning near a firm-bottom flat near firm bottom, record the wind, water color, depth that held fish, 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.
