perch

If anyone is interested in perch fishing according to my fishing log now is the time to start. From past years I think they should be in prespawn about now because in March they are in full spawn. I mostly fish the lakes near Florence and I just play around with different depths. I'm going to give it a shot in the morning and left my fishing log at home. However, I think I'll start out on the bottom in 50-65 ft of water. If ya want a hint on which lake(s) to try drop me a line.

I've known the places and the time of year but these winter and pre-spring months are hard for me to get over to the coast. Someday though I hope to get in on this. Used to fish Siltcos at night in the spring...and it was a "oh my gosh" situation.

Its too bad that Hagg Lake is not open year around. There is a large perch population there. Costal lakes probably have larger fish than Hagg. It's just a bit too far to travel to wohink, sitlcoos and others for the perch. They are available in the Willamette River too.

We got a mess of these little guys yesterday. Ice jigs with mealworms or perch eyes were the ticket...

Joe, nice sized perch. Got the makings for a great fish fry.

Under the circumstances, I don't think I'd call 'em "warm water fish."

I dunno, the water steamed when you drilled a hole in the ice. Might qualify. All I know is when I reached in to grab one fish that threw the hook, it felt might cold to me! It was a great day. I may have to go back next weekend...
