American Falls

[hunter12]

Just wondered how the ice was and if anyone was having any luck.

Thinking of going next week...

They are catching trout at the dam and perch at Sportsmans Park . Curt G.

I have never fished American Falls.  How big do the perch get in there?  Are you able to get some good fillet ones?  Or are they all the little buggers?

[curt69]

There are a lot of small ones but you can get them 6 " to 9" sometimes . Curt G.

[solesoaker]

most of the perch I have caught out of sportsmans are in the 10-12inch range, well the ones that go in the bucket, just need to put the shotgun down and stop chasing the honkers and pick up the rods and get out there, most of the time I spend out there is chasing the perch, it's nothing to drill 40 or so holes in a day trying to keep up with them, but then again a few other places, hidden coves have alot more perch and less pressure

[solesoaker]

those coves can be a pain to get access to them, like mothersday, or Mexican cove, but seagull bay I did see a few guys on the ice over there pulling a few bass and trout out of the water, just wish I trusted the ice enough to go out the the old meat hole straight out of the bay 400yards
