Good perch are becoming harder and harder to find. If I knew of a decent spot I'd tell you but don't be suprised if you get no replies on this one. Seems a "touchy" subject here these days.

Francis lake near westlock

cross lake near westlock

snipe lake vallyview

utikima

north buck by the provincial park entry.

Nakiman...use small 5 of diamonds with three maggots...or a green wire j hook with maggots...... There you go!!!!!!!

burnstick near sundre no monsters but all u can catch ,chance at walleye even the odd (I have not seen) brooky . often get a limit 5 8" keepers the odd one round 9"or better. sylvan had a few pushing 11" and same on gull and by all accounts snipe is the best from pics posted last year. oh and the pond near glenmore bridge in river bend park took all day but got a few keepers many yrs ago. hope this helps

No one should hide their perch fishing spots, i think it's simply over population that stunts them, I don't truly understand why their is even a limit on perch.

Perhaps some understanding of ichthyology would help you understand why there are limits. And studying human behavior.

Ichthyology: the part of zoology that studies fish big WHOO!
Why does every one have to act like their a bio. tech. why can't you just say people don't know enough to limit their selves.
I guess some people must just try to feel superior over others.
Study human behaviour: Just reread whats in red.......!

this is a very good question, over population stunts due to lack of food(too many age class fish feeding on same food source) ,food < mouths. over fishing stunts by removing the prime breeding dna. aggressive big fish< avid anglers. only in the fine balance between these factors along with a year round high value food source and predators ,do true jumbos thrive. it is my view that in alberta we lack the year round food source in most lakes. and one thing I learned a long time a go lunkers of any species get that way by avoiding fishermen. my two bits, tight lines.
