Gerber Reservoir Report
by OR Department of Fish & Wildlife Staff
2-8-2023
Website
Open all year. Unknown ice conditions.
Targeting yellow perch continues to be your best bet. Fish sampling by Bureau of Reclamation has showed incredible densities of yellow perch in the past few years and also some larger crappie. Fishing is slow for crappie and brown bullhead catfish. Use small hooks and bait for the perch as most are small with small mouths. The reservoir remains very low at 9 percent full.
Gerber Reservoir is a large turbid reservoir. Bank access is good. Most of the reservoir is on BLM property.
