I long for the days of 12"+ limits of perch from DC. A decade ago a guy could catch a 10 fish limit of 12-15" ers there and have an excellent dinner. We went last week to the old perch spot on DC and caught one 12" er. Sad really. Can't release them either if it is too deep. I have noticed a difference in the brown trout also-- more slender and less numbers.
I wish there was a way to net the bass out of there. Of course that isn't feasible, but a guy can wish! I'm all for making the bass unlimited- no size restrictions. Some largies would be collateral damage, but their numbers have been reduced anyway because of the smallies. Of course the bass-masters will completely disagree with that line of thinking.
Would be nice if there were some safe structures to place in the lake and allow cover for the fry.
