The Williamson River is also a great place to fish. Besides where it enters the lake, where it crosses the main highway is a great spot.
For smaller rainbows my favorite was Spring Creek, the clearest water around.. Very walkable and fishable, just bring 1-2 lb test. It is also good where Spring Creek enters the Williamson by Collier Memorial State Park/Williamson River day use area. north of Klamath Lake. The best area is just at the edge of the park . there is a line where the warmer off color Williamson River meets the cold clear Spring Creek water. That ridge is where the trout hang out. easy wading and great fishing
For brown trout try Miller Lake Lake of the Woods and Fourmile Lake are also good and reasonably close by for several trout species as well as Kokanee Salmon.
Further up you have the Umpqua River and Diamond lake, which is Oregon's equivalent to our Crowley Lake.
South of Klamath Falls the canals and reservoirs are full of warm water species....bass, cats and pan fish.
Good luck and enjoy
