Fish species in Kaercher Creek Dam

Official stocking history

Stocking records show that the following fish or strains were stocked here. A historical stocking does not by itself prove that a self-sustaining population remains today.

Kaercher Creek Dam covers 31.86 acres in Berks County. Dependable maximum-depth and storage-volume figures were not found for Kaercher Creek Dam, so neither should be estimated from a similarly named lake.

What to Expect at Kaercher Creek Dam

At 31.86 acres, Kaercher Creek Dam is small enough to fish methodically but large enough for one shoreline to differ from another.

Fish and Useful Baits at Kaercher Creek Dam

Fish reported from Kaercher Creek Dam include black crappie, bluegill, channel catfish, common carp, largemouth bass, muskellunge, smallmouth bass, walleye, and yellow perch. Brown trout and rainbow trout are also stocked in Kaercher Creek Dam.

Bass

Begin the largemouth search on Kaercher Creek Dam with a moving bait, then pick apart wood or weeds with a worm. Rocky points on Kaercher Creek Dam suit a grub, tube or compact crankbait when smallmouth are the target.

Crappie, Perch and Sunfish

A soft-plastic minnow or live minnow placed beside cover is a sound crappie approach on Kaercher Creek Dam. For sunfish on Kaercher Creek Dam, keep a cricket or tiny jig close to weed edges and shaded wood. For Kaercher Creek Dam yellow perch, work a light jig slowly along the first firm-bottom break.

Walleye and Larger Predators

A jig tipped with a minnow and a small trolling crankbait cover both slow and active walleye on Kaercher Creek Dam. Muskellunge in Kaercher Creek Dam call for stout tackle and large bucktails, jerkbaits or deep-running plugs.

A Simple Fishing Plan for Kaercher Creek Dam

Let wind and water clarity choose the starting bank, then follow that bank until the bottom or cover changes on Kaercher Creek Dam. Then check the original creek route, the dam end and any point on Kaercher Creek Dam that reaches toward deeper water.

When to Fish Kaercher Creek Dam

A sunny spring afternoon can pull Kaercher Creek Dam fish toward dark bottom, wood and new vegetation. Summer fish in Kaercher Creek Dam may feed shallow at dawn before settling beside cover or deeper structure. Cooling water can bring Kaercher Creek Dam fish back to points and banks where bait gathers.
