GERBER RESERVOIR: white and black crappie, yellow perch, brown bullhead and largemouth bass‌

Fish sampling by Bureau of Reclamation this year showed incredible densities of yellow perch and some larger crappie. Use small hooks and bait for the perch as most are small with smallmouths.‌

Fishing should be improving for brown bullhead and yellow perch. Best place to fish for perch is at the north boat ramp. Near the Barnes Valley Boat ramp can also be worth a try if lake levels are high enough. Crappie are suspended in the main part of the reservoir or near deeper water.‌

The reservoir is 25 percent full. Call the Klamath Falls BLM office for updated information. A higher lake level improves the crappie fishery.‌‌

Gerber Reservoir is a large turbid reservoir with good bank access. Most of the reservoir is on BLM property. Open all year.
