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. Fishing remains slow but should improve with warmer weather. Crappie fishing is typically best in late May and early June. ‌

The reservoir remains 44 percent full. Call the Klamath Falls BLM office for updated information. A higher lake level improves the crappie fishery.‌

Gerber Reservoir water levels

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