Perch Lake

Perch Lake is a lake in Washburn County and the basic lake data comes in at about 17 acres and a maximum depth of 15 feet, and that gives you a simple feel for the lake before tackle choices even matter.

What this lake is like

I would rather learn one piece of this water than rush through ten and I would begin around the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach because the water itself will tell you more than a long list of generic fishing tips.

What swims here

Species already recorded for Perch Lake include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; which keeps me focused on weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and remember that a species list does not tell you exactly where the fish are.

A simple way to approach it

For an uncomplicated day on Perch Lake, I would make the day about finding one repeatable clue instead of collecting waypoints, then I would verify the latest bag, size, and season information before fishing.
