[#0000FF]I think that a major part of your thought process is predicated upon a basic dislike of perch. What you have never considered (apparently) is that perch were formerly a big part of the angler interest in Jordanelle. A whole lot of anglers fished that lake with perch as a primary target...both summer and winter.
There were many families that liked Jordanelle because it was a good place to take the kids for perch. They could catch a grundle and have a good time. Also, I'm guessing that over 90 percent of the ice anglers were fishing for perch and the occasional trout was almost a nuisance. It was with me and the folks I fished with. The last few years there have been very few ice anglers on Jordanelle, and they leave bitching about the dinky perch...and how few there are.

I guess I'm in the minority then. I'd fish for ANYTHING before I'd bother with those pesky, spiny bastages. Bait stealing buggers don't fight, and never get big enough to worry about. And especially in the winter they suffer from air bladder ruptures.
