Anyone willing to give up a hint as to where to find some decent perch? Keep hearing of guys catching big ones out of here but we have yet to see any big ones. Lots of small ones on the camera but nothing like what I'm hearing about.

Wolak, not yellow grubs, it comes from something they are feeding on. Makes their meat turn into sand kinda. Black spots on the skin and in the meat. Tried one....once. Try Tucker lake or Hilda.

Where abouts is the boat launch? Also what's it like?
by Wolak48 on Mar. 8, 2015
Think that's the yellow grub one seen them in lots this year they don't hurt u if cooked right
by Coolcat on Mar. 7, 2015
They were in the meat not the stomach. I wouldn't eat them.
by Wolak48 on Mar. 7, 2015
What kinda worms where they
by Wolak48 on Mar. 7, 2015
Do you know any other lakes close to cold lake for perch
by Coolcat on Mar. 7, 2015
Don't try. We caught some and they were filled with worms.

Threw out a pickerel rig with 2 smelts from the boat launch and left it on rod holder , went back when pole started dancing , thought I was pulling in a big slob .. Actually had 2 hooked up , 57 and 52cm, would of been nice to have one keeper but still a pretty cool fishing story I have forever now
by Ryan19 on Sep. 10, 2013
Between the four of us we caught sixty fish in four hours, all pike except for one small walleye, most were small to medium but did have a couple 62cm pike, couldn't find a bad spot!

Fishing was alright... Mostly small pike, one walleye, no perch... No keepers all day
by Bobbyfoe on Jan. 3, 2011
Heard rumors of big perch but didn't catch one. Seen some big ones in the tent but that was it. Just some hammerheads. Ice was really strange, kind of slushy in some spots, I wouldn't go back till a nice cold snap maybe.
