[size 2]LAKE EMILY[/size]
[size 1]is the most consistent perch producer in the area[/size]
[size 1]Iron County's 320-acre Lake Emily is not huge, and finding concentrations of perch and other winter panfish isn't difficult.[/size]
[size 1]A weedline spans the lake from west to east right off the public access on the east side of the lake. To the north a gradual dropoff from 5 to 20 feet that features scattered weeds is a good bet for bluegills and crappies.[/size]
[size 1]To the south, the bottom slopes into more than 30 feet of water and is the best place to prospect for winter perch. Most of the yellow bellies will be 7 to 9 inches, but perch topping 10 inches aren't uncommon.[/size]
