Crappie are being caught but slowed with cold front. The Ben Hall and Barnes Valley arms should be good for crappie. Concentrate around flooded willow or structure.

Best place to fish for perch is at the north boat ramp. Use small hooks and bait for the perch as most are small with small mouths.

Fishing bait on the bottom will be good for brown bullhead.

The reservoir is 92 percent full creating excellent opportunities for crappie. Call the Klamath Falls BLM office for updated information.

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.
