Sure I’ll tell you!
Weather cold; 8F in am high of 24 each day. 3-4” new snow each night.
1st day: 3 perch in 3 hours
2nd day: 6 perch in 4 hours
3rd day: 8 perch in 5 hours
Biggest 15 1/2” (3)
Fished in 35 fow on flats above drop offs to old river beds south of island. Fish seemed to come up from deeper water to feed on flats. Fairly long periods of no activity, then several bites as school came thru. Larger perch all regurgitated 3” minnows. Bite was dawn to 10:00 and again at 1:30.
We had snowmobile problems which restricted our fishing time. Bite was almost exclusively on single #14 glow hook with one glow bead. Tungsten jigs were ineffective. Small nightcawlers or bloodworms only.
Hope this helps. I’ll be back up there mid Feb. Good luck! Trueblue2
Great report! Man, snowmobile problems are my life story this year, so I’m glad you were able to salvage the trip. 15.5" is a nice Perch. I pull in a 10" (tell the wife it’s 15.5") and feel like the greatest fisherman ever. Haha
I was going to head out tomorrow, but I’ll be tearing into the pull start assembly on one of my sleds instead.
Great report, sounds like the perch are consistent year after year with their behaviors.. That’s about identical to what we found the last time I was there… With that much new snow daily is there a slush issue this year? Thanks Jeff
Just returned from 3 days on Cascade Lake, ID. If anyone is interested in an up to date report, let me know or send PM.
