The rumors are true folks, Fernan Lake pre-spawn perch fishing is on the rise which can one mean one thing, Hayden Lake jumbo Crappie will soon follow. I counted over 20 people at the end bay near the last boat ramp and all were catching fish consistently. Ratso jigs under a rocket bobber tipped with maggot proved to be deadly once again and will continue to do so year after year. We ended up keeping a dozen perch and a few bluegill. Fernan lake is considered Family Fishing Waters which means: No size limit and No harvest limit for any fish.
