Hello everyone, I was looking for lakes with perch in them and discovered that Mud Lake is one of them. I was exited because it's less than an hour away from Rexburg. I did a search on this site and began reading all of the old posts on Mud Lake. Man, I sure wish I would have fished there during the glory days of '06 before a huge winterkill got to them. Anyway, I'm curious about how the perch are doing now that three year's have gone by. Are there any size/numbers to them again or has it continued to winterkill? Also, has the fish and game done anything to address the winterkill issue or is it impossible to do anything? In one of the post's I read it mentioned something about putting aerators in like they have at Henry's. Personally, I would much rather catch 100 8" perch any day then 20 16" trout. I never thought about fishing Mud Lake or Market lake before but I'll definitely give them a try this spring/summer.[fishon]
