BlakeTheRollins:
IM PLANNING A WEEK LONG TRIP UP TO MICHIGAN THIS YEAR. I WOULD LIKE TO GET ON A GOOD PERCH AND WALLEYE BITE. THAT HAS LODGING NEAR THE LAKE OR HOTEL. CAN ANYONE GIVE ME SOME GOOD TIPS AND WHAT THEY SUGGEST.

Doeslayer:
Perch and walleye..... Lake leelanau has some good eyes but few perch... Skegemog has tons of perch but no eyes... Houghton has both but is a very big lake and tough to fish sometimes.... Sag bay has both but isnt always safe.... Grand lake has both though the eyes are harder to come by.... sag river is even sketchier ice but produces both though the perch are hit or miss.... My first question would be do you hsve ice transportation or are you on foot... If your on foot id reccomend none of the above except maybe skegemog.... On foot id suggest lake cadillac or lake mitchell... Pilgrims village is a great place to stay and its right on the water... Has all the bsit and tackle you need plus good info... If you have mobility then there are tons of options.... Also when are you planning said trip

Bucket Rump:
I would add Portage Lake near Onekema on to Doeslayer's list.  Deep water that freezes late and is walkable but better if you have transportation for ice travel.

BlakeTheRollins:
I’ll be on foot with my thermal ice shanty. Honestly I don’t know what time of year prob early weeks of January.

BlakeTheRollins:
Really I don’t have to catch walleye. Really rather get into the perch.
