I don't know if the perch would get that big in Pineview, because in Yuba and Deer Creek they grow unrestrained once they get too big for the walleyes to eat. After that, we're their only predators. I don't think Perch could outgrow those muskies. Heck, small children shouldn't even swim or ski in Pineview!! [

I don't know if those big perch are a blessing or a curse in our small waters. They attracted perch jerkers by the boatload at Yuba. The walleyes wiped out the small perch, and people wiped out the big ones. But I also know the big perch feed pretty voraciously on the small perch. So I don't know where the balance is. I just hope big perch aren't an omen.
