• Where to Fish on Threemile Reservoir

  No depth figure has reached our records, which makes a plummet useful. Held water runs deepest at the wall and shallows back to the inflow. Inflow corners move water, and moving water gathers fish. Fish documented in Klamath County include rainbow trout, klamath largescale sucker, brook trout, yellow perch and sockeye salmon. At least one recorded species is protected in parts of its range; read the local rules before targeting anything. Read Threemile Reservoir for ten minutes before the first cast goes out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Typical August readings run about 67°F; by January the average is down near 30°F. The year gives four workable seasons without severe ends. It is not guaranteed even in a cold spell, so check yourself. February into May fishes hardest as the water warms. Threemile Reservoir runs to its own calendar within the local pattern.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public data does not answer the access question here. Mapping flags this water as intermittent: it can be dry for part of the year, so check before travelling. We find no slipway, car park or made path within a short radius, so treat access as rough. A landowner's word beats anything printed elsewhere. Barbless rules turn up on managed water more often than not. Bumphead Reservoir at 3 miles is the sensible second choice. What applies at Threemile Reservoir may have changed since it was mapped.
