Fishing is also slow for crappie for brown bullhead catfish. Use small hooks and bait for the perch as most are small sized with small mouths. The reservoir is 2 percent full. Most anglers are now fishing near the dam.

Gerber Reservoir is a large turbid reservoir. Bank access is good. Launching boats might be impossible.

Most of the reservoir is on BLM property.
