Yes, there are perch. I try to find the deepest parts, more to the middle over 12 feet deep I think. Trout are everywhere, but more consistent near shore. There is also a few small wallys and LMbass. It is a kids pond so we put everything back. Don't have to, its just a karma thing. Just wish they'd let us stay into the dark, say 8pm, just to let us working stiffs get a little time in.
