Petoka?

[Bruiser]

Does anyone fish Lake Petoka for anything other than trout? Did they do a trout release recently?

In November was last release. Have not fish it a lot but a couple of years ago caught a nice perch there.

I didn't know there was Perch in there. That's surprising to hear.

It's been pretty slow there, nothing much to speak of, found some brush piles with my camera but they're covered in 1" gills and 4" bass, was really surprised not to see any larger predator fish hanging out picking them off. If you have a camera I'd recommend taking it to this lake, one of the few in IA you can actually see past your lure.

How is the ice conditions there? I am thinking of fishing it on Friday.

Good ice.  Walked across it last Friday.

Thanks! The last time I drove by it there was a ton of geese keeping the main body of water open. But that has been a few weeks.

Thank you for the info guys! Hopefully I can find a few left in there.
