Nice perch Larry. I would love to find a lake where perch fishing was good enough that a guy could count on catching enough for a fish fry. I was up to Hubbard Lake 2 weeks ago to do some scouting, and the word was that finding enough perch for a fish fry was like finding gold nuggets. Pretty sad when a lake like that (Add in Black L., Higgins L., L. Independence(UP) etc that have reputations for A FEW BIG perch.) and any perch fisherman is pretty much SOL. I'm glad bluegills and walleyes are easy to find and easy to catch. Apparently walleyes are so thick on Saginaw bay that they are reducing perch number BIG TIME. Years ago a guy could go over there, anchor in a pack of boats, and catch a bucketful of perch. The two big perch party boats are gone. Perch charters aren't worth the effort and the packs of perch boats are no more. How sad.
Some of life's most precious memories take place in the presence of a fish.
