Favorite Perch Jig?

[MMDon]

My buddies are Perch Nuts. Ken put in 67 days straight on Ririe last year Perching. You may remember the camper shell on skis. Still, 15 to 20 keeper perch is a good day at Ririe. At Wild Horse or even the park in Aberdeen early in the season you could pull 50 keepers in a morning. I'm not much on Perching once Kokanee gets in gear but I do enjoy a good Perch fry a couple of times a year. It drives them crazy to see me C&R the perch I get. To me catching perch is like playing golf. I don't throw my ball away after every hole and I figure I can catch the same perch over and over. Ririe is the exception as you are pulling them up from depths that a lot of times kills them from the gasses in the blood stream if you were to release them. I try to fish for Perch in shallow waters for that reason. I only keep enough usually to replenish my Perch meat supply for bait. [laugh] Perch do seem to love Perch! []
