Sounds like a great plan! Is the 21st too soon (Human Rights Day)?
I’m in. The 21st would be a good day.
I know they have had a perch fry in the past does anyone know who did that one???
Or if they are planing one this year I think Yuba would be a great place…
I believe it was Pikeman that organized at the one at the Nelle last year.
I agree, sounds like a good idea. Maybe your fan club will show up 
. Sorry, couldn’t resist. First off, let’s establish on how the big fish is decided, weight or length?
I like the idea of the 21st. Just post it if it is definate. I think it would be fun.
Wouldn’t the 21st be a Monday? May be a holiday for some but I think the majority have to work.
I know Polokid had a hand in one of the Perch Partys held at Rockport some years ago.
The 21st (Martin Luther King Day) is a Monday. This is not a widely celebrated holiday in Utah - not many businesses close for this holiday. A Saturday might be a better choice in this instance - say the 19th or the 26th?
I agree on choosing a Saturday instead of the holiday. With the regulations as they are is Yuba the best choice? I have never attended but FlyandDrive were talking about going this year. My vote goes for Jordanelle as it is more centrally located and has better regulations.
Schlitz-
Good point about Jordanelle but I dought we could catch enough perch for a fish fry from what ive been hearing. I think Echo and Yuba seem to be the hottest places for perch near by.
I’m good with any of the dates suggested not that anyone cares.

I like weight but what everyone wants is ok with me…
I think Yuba is the best place in the state this year for perch and this is why…
1 It has more and bigger perch on aveage…
2 better chance of more fisherman catching more fish per fisherman then any other lake…
3 Easier walking for all who come, (very little snow and NO sluch)…
4 easy on and off the ice, lots of parking and the ice is 10" to 12" thick at painted rocks…
The date??? I like a Saturday and we need time to get things set up how does every one feel about Jan.26 or for more time to plan Feb.2 …
And any one who has done this be fore please HELP and any one else who can or wants too please help…
And for this to be a BFT outing can we get one or more moderators to tell us what we/or they need to do…
Pikeman did the one at jordanelle last year and it was a good one even though not many perch were caught. I think Pat and Glen brought some extra fish becaus everyone ate a lot!! Glens family cooked the fish and fries and they were yummy!! Personally there should not be a problem catching fish. These things will be needed for the fish fry.
- perch
- people filleting perch
- cooks using their recipes or just the usual salt and pepper
- people eating !!!
People donating these items:
plates,forks,napkins, garbage bags
And most of all a head count of who can come and bring what i think this should be started as soon as the date is set. I know i have forgotten some things but i know someone will stated.
If at all helpful I have a small generator that could power fillet knives, grills, etc.
Jan 26 sounds good to me .
Feb. sounds good to me.
I can bring a large propane stove and cast iron skillet, the stove is for a turkey deep fryer so I can bring the pot instead of the skillet if someone has a basket big enough for it.
