Was curious if you guys up there ever catch yellow perch. From the looks of this map there are some up there.

I've read of ADFG finding Yellow Perch illegally introduced to one lake on the Kenai Peninsula. Supposedly they were eradicated? I've, thankfully, never heard of anyone catching any though. We have enough problems with other invasive species up here. Don't get me wrong I LOVE the Pike fishing but not if it compromises my hunt for huge natural fish.

"The Yellow Perch was introduced to Alaska in 1995 or 1996 and is in an unnamed lake on the north Kenai Peninsula. The fish collected by the USGS Alaska Department of Fish and Game collected many two to four-year-old fish. The search was in May, 2000, and they are planning to eradicate them (the fish) by poison."

I have to admit I am checking out the board, our ice is going away.

I check this board because I miss Alaska so much. I lived in Petersburg for a couple of years as a kid as my dad (Coast Guard)ran the Elderberry buoy tender. I will never forget the fishing, awesome would be an understatement. I got back up there to work in Anchorage in 95 for 8 months. I got to fish eagle river - bird creek - the kenai - seward and a lake in palmer that i have no idea what the name was. Caught a bunch of fish and enjoyed every minute except for the shoulder to shoulder on the kenai, just couldn't get used to that. I hope to get up there again soon.

W4lleye, that was interesting. Thank you. I just, for the life of me, can't understand a person's thinking when they introduce a non native species to Alaskan waters. I'ts not as though we don't have some incredible natural resources here in Alaska. The Kenai peninsula in particular.

jiggenfrogs · « **Reply #74 on:** Feb 25, 2011, 06:00 PM »

There thinking is they don't know how to catch a game fish, so they will put bass in the lake/pond their camp/cabin is on, so they will have a fish they can catch. Happens all time, look at northern Maine. Usually their from Mass...

Next year on this date me and the wife will do some icefishing in Alaska it will be our 22nd anniversary.

Good deal, congrats and if you travaling this far to ice fish then let me know I can stear you in the right direction. Early is better lake trout fishing, but the days are shorter. Have you ever been up here?

Does it ever get cold enough on Prince of Wales island for the lakes to freeze over???

akdube · « **Reply #80 on:** Mar 03, 2011, 12:04 PM »

I would say no MAYBE some of the alpine lakes but a majority would not freeze
