Targeting yellow perch continues to be your best bet and fishing should be slow in November. Fish sampling by Bureau of Reclamation in the last few years has shown incredible densities of yellow perch and some larger crappie. Use small hooks and bait for the perch as most are small with small mouths.
The reservoir is 16 percent full. Launching boats is nearly impossible. Call the Klamath Falls BLM office for updated information.
Gerber Reservoir is a large turbid reservoir with good bank access. Most of the reservoir is on BLM property. Open all year.
