Unfortuanately if I post this lake there will be hordes of Perch fisherman going there, as it is already under heavy fishing pressure, and close to the city. I just think the fishing pressure is focused on other species for now ;)

Unless of course I can catch the one that got away, or another around the same size, than I may let you know than. ;D

But on another note I will be trying Coal Lake out soon, see what size they are like there, and after that I will try Devil's out, aside from HPF's rant that it is a waste of time, must be something good in there if there are a few anglers always on the Ice. besides usually they aren't targeting Perch. That's the beauty of multi species lakes that are in equilibrium. The Perch usually get ignored, so they can grow big, and plentiful ;)

Have been out too Hasse two times this week, caught about a dozen perch each time, and had numerous bites. There seems to be an abundance of Perch, as everywhere I have punched a hole and dropped my camera down there they are, or at least soon to be. Only problem is that they seem to be rather skinny, and not a lot of them pushing past the 7"-8" range. Although I did catch one that was 11" and there were 5 more of them in that school. Also noticed that the School's of Perch aren't that large, may be cause the lake is so small that they just roam wherever they want ???
