Located at the base of scenic Mount McLoughlin, 4 Mile Lake’s pristine views, crystal clear water and 2 prolific species to fish for make this one of our favorite Klamath Basin fishing destinations. Mackinaw (Lake Trout), Brook Trout, Rainbows and Kokanee all inhabit the deep clear waters of 4 Mile Lake.
A 10 mph speed limit is in place, which keeps skiers off the water and fishing top notch. Favorite patterns throughout the year at 4 Mile Lake are chironomids, leeches, carey specials, carpenter ants, calibatis, damsels and caddis. Guests usually fish from the boat but wading is also an option.
