Perch
« on: Dec 30, 2016, 04:25 PM »
Been able to catch small batches of perch but never been able to catch my limit and never brought home a pale of slabbers and lakes or pond to try to fill the bucket any helps appreciated. Don't have to give up your spot finding them is half the fun just want to get pointed in the right direction and be on the right ice

Are you looking for white perch or yellow? Generally the catch is better on Champ for whites late in the winter in my experience. For yellows, you can find them on almost any lake/pond waterbody, but some places are better than others for catching large ones/large numbers.

Not sure what side of the state your on but here in the NEK if you looking for numbers Magog and the CT river are the best bets. If your just looking for size, Stiles Pond here in St J had good size but the limit is reduced to 10 fish, and its been getting hit hard by the locals filling freezers.
