Yellow Perch

For panfish at Swamp, keep a small jig, minnow or worm close to bottom for yellow perch.

A Simple Fishing Plan for Swamp

On a first trip to Swamp, check one quiet cove, one rocky or firm point and the nearby deep water with a moving lure, then use a jig or worm where you find fish.

When to Fish Swamp

Spring at Swamp is a good time to check warm coves and incoming water, and summer is a good time to fish shade, weeds and the first drop into deeper water. Fall at Swamp can bring fish back to windy points and banks, while winter calls for smaller baits fished slowly.
