PBR COWBOY Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 Hey guys, Never really went out to target perch before, but i got the boat all ready last weekend and well i hear its supposed to be sunny and 20+ all weekend. I was thinking of headn to kawarthas possibly Stoney, what lake would you guys recommend for perch up that way??? Thanks! Jonas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 I wouldn't recommend any lake in the Kawarthas just yet as it isn't open until the 4th Saturday in April. All of zone 17 is closed to fishing with a few exceptions. Sure would be nice to get out on the water in this area though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael_Brown Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 Hey Ron. This Sat.is the 4 Sat. in April. Stony might be a good choice. Not sure. I have heard Balsam is a good perch lake and I know Chemong lake has some decent fish. I would try sandy flats in 5 or 6 feet of water. Good Luck.

ecmilley Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 lots of perch in all the lakes as for size think there all pretty similar, now if going for crappies, rice pigeon and scugog have lots a slabs swimmin around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozaibak1 Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 Have had good luck for perch on Stoney, hit up all the back-bays they are there in droves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laker272 Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 I would search out the crappie instead of the perch. Once your onto them, your on them good. Alot better fight then the perch IMO. Look for areas that the water warms up the fastest. Structure, cane, tribs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jer Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 Once...and only once, about 8 or 9 years ago, we had a run of huge perch off of my dock for a day or two in early November. These were Simcoe class fish on Buckhorn like I've never seen before or since (besides the odd one off). We've tried to duplicate every fall since and haven't been able. We had some freaky Indian summer weather that fall I remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffw Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 I've caught some big jumbos in sturgeon lake. Check out sheltered back bays with weeds or wood. Emily creek is another good areato fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
