Dee Lake in Klamath County: How and When to Fish It

• Overview

  This water sits in Klamath County, Oregon. Land around it is mixed woodland. Small at around 16 acres: two anglers spread out cover most of it. The closest town, Eagle Point, is 29 miles distant. For a city, Eugene is 114 miles off. Near neighbours: Island Lake just 0.3 miles, Carey Lake 1 mile off, Bert Lake just 1.1 miles, Center Lake 1.1 miles off and Red Lake just 1.1 miles. The nearest boundary is well away, so one set of rules covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Dee Lake

  Nothing we hold settles how deep this runs. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Klamath County records list rainbow trout, klamath largescale sucker, brook trout and yellow perch among the fish reported. Protected fish appear in the records for this area, so treat the list as information, not an invitation. The near bank of Dee Lake is often the one people ignore.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warm month here averages 57°F; the cold one sits at 27°F. Seasons here are moderate, and the fishing runs most of the year. It should never be assumed safe, whatever the month says. March through May is the strongest run, with October and November a second stretch. That shapes the year on Dee Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access is not recorded for this water. No built facilities appear in mapping around this water. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. A phone call first saves an afternoon. Some ground is open by custom rather than by right, so tread carefully. If the gate is shut, Island Lake at 0.3 miles is the nearest alternative.
