Local wildlife rehabilitation centre needs perch
And guess who has lots. They are hoping for 300/month frozen.
So I am looking to pull some volunteers together to help catch as many as we can in a weekend. Maybe next weekend. I can bring limited numbers in to fish at a time so please send me a PM. Please note what works best is 6 lb mono with small chartreuse jigs like genz worm or lindy fat boys with a red chironolid dropper. I also tie size 8-14 chartreuse flies on Maruto hooks with chartreuse and orange tungsten beads. http://www.ebay.ca/itm/20-10-Maruto-...4AAOSwT6pVqEzA http://thumbs4.ebaystatic.com/d/l225...4deauK_hjw.jpg http://www.canadianllama.com/images/...chartreuse.jpg http://www.canadianllama.com/images/...t%20orange.jpg |

These simple little flies work great. They don't need to be pretty because after 100 or so you need to redo the marabou. |
For around the same price, with no shipping costs, you can get the same style hooks at the local stores - Mustad 32833BLN. Work great for small jigs or tying balanced leech style flies.

Could you please explain what this thread is about? It sounds like a zoo or mink farm needs feed and you have a private pond or lake that is full of stunted perch.

Lake Sundance has a zillion 5-7 inch perch. They would like a mess. Match made in heaven. |
only perch or would they accept other species like prussian carp?

Mink farms would also. Chickens would probably go to town on carp as would pigs. Someone also mentioned that in Calgary there is a group that believe in feeding fresh uncooked food to dogs. Some currently use perch from our lake. Carp should work also. |

Not sure how many other groups could use perch. I offered some to the Calgary Zoo years ago. The vet refused as they were worried about City contamination. Here are the lake rules. Fishin is down the list. http://www.lakesundance.org/lake-rules.html |

Good luck with your little project Sundance. Sounds like it could be a fun time for participants. P.S. A lake that size (33 acres), and that deep (22 ft), must grow some decent size trout. Whats the largest trout that you have caught? Do residents have a fun little derby going each year? |

A few did come in accidentally from past stockings. I caught a 22 inch brown and 18 in brookie. Shows they can possibly grow. |
Holy smokes
Quite a few years ago when it was still being stocked consistently with rainbows, a close family friend caught an 8lb'er out of Sundance on a Panther Martin. Hangs over his mantle to this day.
Sad to have seen it decline the way it has, but still awesome to see it hasn't been completely forsaken like some of our further-in-the-field lakes when it comes to stocking brookies/browns/rainbows. Good on ya Sundance for continuing the effort. |
Quote:
We don't grow them big since perch came. Someday I hope to stock bigger but fewer rainbows, while the Browns and Brookies get bigger. Limits need to change to reflect fish numbers. |
What local rehab center are you dealing with Sundance?
|
Bungling up the PM's. Between full limit and time penalty and hourly PM limits. Hope I caught everyone. Should be a nice day to slay some perch.

Sundance...
I have spoken with the lady at the rehab center. It doesn't sound like they are too prepared to accept all these perch...in her words, "I was thinking this would more likely be a summer thing..." But I told her that I have all these bags of perch and considering the warm weather, I hope she comes to get them soon. She said she would call me as soon as she could find a volunteer to pick them up. In the meantime...they sit on some cardboard in my garage to make sure the neighbourhood cats or magpies don't get 'em! :scared::scared::scared: Regardless...it was nice to pluck some of those little buggers out again. And nice to meet some new faces! |

Thanks for helping. |
holly crap i hope those perch are iced down pretty good so they don't spoil. it was great to me you guys too and to socialize with you. great time, hit it again today with a bud and did great but not as well as last nite with you guys. a bit slower today with my buddy catching a brookie while i caught a nice rainbow maybe 1 1/2 lbs, but had a deformed head and nose along with a perch that had a deformed lower jaw.
