Perch

What about Canyon Ferry?  Heard they were biting there.  A bit further south though.

Anyone know if there is a good place for perch down in the Bitterroot?

[Houdy66]

Only place I know of where you'll find perch in the Bitterroot Valley is the little public pond in Lolo. I've only open water fished it, but it has perch, bass, sunfish, and a few pike. Nothing gets very big in there, from what I've been told.

I was down at Holter last weekend, caught a ton of perch out there, and a few trout. Im heading back that way tomorrow morning to hit it again. Its worth the drive from Belt. Im in Great Falls, so its a little longer for you.

Tizzle, I made the drive this morning. Was worth it, we came back with a few meals each. Wanted to hit departure point but it was packed. We ended up staying near log gulch.

Heard it's already a damn zoo out there.

There were definitely hundreds of people near departure point. We stayed to the right of log gulch and only had a few people around us.

Was up at Holter Friday with one of my sons. We fished just east of  log gulch. Caught 12 perch, son put tip up out further, caught nice Ling. Small town sprang up from departure point to black sand beach.
