Hey ice fisher's,
I have never been to canyon ferry before.
However, I live in the Kalispell area and have caught so many perch I have lost count. I recommend that you use a jig called a demon jig. I recommend this because its a glow jig that lights up very well in dark places. Remember to add maggots
Also I use the green head one, but I am sure the others will work too.
Wish this small info will help, and hope ya catch the big one
