Funny how in thirty years perch have evolved from "damnit, another stinking perch, throw it on the bank" to where in hell's bathroom can I find some decent perch?" I remember fishing above Charleston Bridge in the back sloughs of the Provo River and catching a perch about 14" long and being sickly dissapointed.
Why have there not been great numbers of huge perch in any Utah waters for over 20 years? What has changed so much? I'm glad I don't care too much. Utah panfishing is pretty much sub-par. Where you find any numbers of perch they are dinks, and as far as 'gills go, it seams the only place with decent bulls you have to deal with fillets full of parasites. Oh well, the trout fishing is great!
