It has reached negative temperatures the past three days. Ice conditions are unknown but anglers were catching yellow perch two weeks ago. Almost two feet of snow has fallen on the ice. The reservoir can be a good ice fishing destination.
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 fair in November.
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 33 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.
