    The wife wants to go after perch this weekend. Anyone know of a good perch lake (not the pond) within 2hr of the citys worth the drive?

    It’s 3 hours away, but the perch bite has picked up again on Otter Tail, it’s a numbers game with a lot of smaller fish, but some bigger (8-10″ fish)are starting again as well. Plus there’s always that chance on OT to get into the true Jumbo’s!

    I’ve been doing some research for good perch lakes and the best I can find is Mille Lacs (so far). So yes if anyone knows of a good perch lake near the Metro please let us know I was wondering about the Alexandria area there has to be some good perch out that way

    Deer Lake by St. Croix Falls WI has nice perch in it. My brother in-law fishes it all the time and I have done well out there too.

    I have only fished it in the spring/early summer.

    I usually have decent luck at Willow River Park in Hudson. Head out from the boat ramp or swimming beach.
