I think you have to triangulate yourself between the bright orange, bright green, and purple house on Fox.
There is only one theory about angling in which I have perfect confidence, and this is that the two words, least appropriate to any statement, about it, are the words "always" and "never."

It's been awhile for me but I also agree with fishinfiend its been years ago since i've caught them really good,but Wawasee is a great place to catch Perch. If you have the means to move around alot :tipup:

that is why we have the "perch search" every year...notice it not the   perch catch trip.

Lack of planning on your part in NO way constitutes an EMERGENCY on mine

I've never caught any real big ones at Wawasee. Have you?

I used to catch some nice ones at Sylvan near Rome City. Blackman Lake also used to have some nice ones.
I live in the midwest now but have fond memories of fishing in New England as a kid.
