monger Posted December 25, 2007 Posted December 25, 2007 Hey LS, we could use your help removing perch from Sundance. We've got a couple of garbage bags of them out already this year, but the more the better. The little buggers are eating all the Gammarus and limiting the trout growth. They sure are good eating though. Quote
dryfly Posted December 25, 2007 Posted December 25, 2007 This is probably way to far for you folks in Calgary--at least 3 hours. There's a hard-water angler here in Coaldale who goes to Sherburne Reservoir two or three times each week just for perch. They typically keep 10-inch perch (big) and yesterday were throwing back 11 and 12-inch perch as they got into some huge ones. Don't have details of exactly where they go and get on, but could get. They use a single maggots (versus married I guess) on small "Swedish Pimple" hooks--geez I think that's what he called them. Quote

Two years ago we were catching 50 perch all over 11 inches...this year seems out of 50 perch only about 10 are over 8 inches and only one or two over 12. Stunting is just around the corner. I suspect the 6-7 inch perch are a massive year class moving up. Cheers. Sun Quote
