Fished for perch yesterday for a few hours south of E I90 bridge. They are still there in large number between 50 and 70 feet. Worms, perch meet or 1oz jigs would do the job. Tight lines!!!

The Cutthroat are on fire! Fish are running anywhere between 12-22" with some fatties hitting the net.
Working the south end of the lake in 60-110' of water is producing the most action! The Ceda...
