Took some time to find the perch but WOW when I did!
Popped a lot of holes in the ice to find the perch hideout but somewhere out in the middle I located the motherload of large perch. For me, the 20 or so large perch counted for quite a lot. Also caught small blue gills, red eared sunfish and one small brown trout. Just enough worm to cover the hooks, no jigs, just bait. Most of the fish were caught about 3' above the bottom. 6', 4lbs leader with 3 single hooks spaced at about 2' intervals with a split shot on the bottom of the leader to feel the bottom of the lake. It got dark soon after I found the spot and the bite dropped to nothing after the sun went down. With the snow coming down it was the picture perfect ending to a fishing weekend at Roses and Dry Lakes. Just had to pick up the girlfriend at the casino and drive on back to Kenmore! Mamma's happy, everyone's happy!
