Idaho Fish Report

Website
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 small mouths. Fishing for perch can be excellent in October.
Best place to fish for perch is at the north boat ramp. Crappie are suspended in the main part of the reservoir or near deeper water.
The reservoir is 6 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.
