Glad to hear you did well P Hopper. Also glad to hear you got some Perch. I believe these low water years we've been having are a major contributor to the drop in the Perch population. Almost all of the vegetation and debri exists around the edge of the reservoir and it hasn't been flooded for much of the year the last couple of years. The eggs and fry need that stuff for cover. Without it, they're an easy meal for larger fish. If you were a big fish and were given a choice between eating bugs and plankton or caviar and fish, what would you eat?
