Good lake for Perch?
« on: Dec 16, 2010, 09:49 PM »
Ok - I know this comes up every year but can anybody recommend a good lake for keeper perch?  I remember catching some hogs at Summit but those are long gone now that they put the walleyes in.  I like the walleye too, just want to try for something different that tastes good!

Wawasee, out by Ogden island. Round has nice ones too but they can be tricky to find. Fox is a producer as well. If I can find access I want to try Blackman for them too.
Never tell a fish where its supposed to be

Dewart has perch, so does Winona, but as with alot of perch lakes you have to find the schools of the bigger fish or you will get eaten alive by 7 inch fish!!

Thanks Guys.  Yea, Summit was the same way - a lot of dinks but if you found the right school, you could get em over 12 inches.  Guess those small ones were bait for the walleye meaning few are left..

Stone Lake in LaPorte used to have some nice ones.  I haven't fished it for a long time though.
