I caught a few of those perch this year, though it doesn't seem that there are a ton of them. Then again, I didn't target them, they all hit larger cranks and jerkbaits while I was fishing for bass. There are still some big gills in there too. I saw some very sizable ones spawning up in the shallows this spring, but I don't know where they went after that.
I never did that well at Condie up until this fall. I put in some good long trips, and I'm starting to have some more consistent success for the nice bass. As for the poor color and the smelly nasty water, it's from the algae blooms that got going at the end of the summer. Condie is surrounded by farm land, I'd imagine fertilizer running into the lake contributed to the pea soup look. Now that I have a little more confidence in the place, I'm excited to get back this coming spring.
