Anybody ever fish for perch in the Q? Haven't caught one in decades, but remember how delicious they are and I know they are in the lakes up there. Looking for ideas on tackle and type of structure, or lack of. I know they school!

I have purposely tried for perch twice in canoe country, both times with 1/16 oz chartreuse roadrunners. Once in Sunday bay and I ended up catching quite a few small walleye amongst the weeds but no perch.

And another time on Isle Royale on lake Chickenbone. About 11 am on a bright sunny August day I loudly proclaimed to my crew that I was going out to secure all of us (4 guys) a walleye dinner and I would be back by 5p.m. so have everything ready cause we would feast on walleye for dinner. Now my guys are just average anglers and I have acquired something just short of legendary status in their eyes so they considered it a done deal.

Out I went trolling happily along fully confident of my ability to produce filets. Time went by and not only did I not catch any walleye, I didn't catch anything, as in zippo! With my rep hanging in the balance I decided something, anything, would be far better than nothing. So I eased up next to shore against a defined weed edge and put the little road runner in the rod holder and began quietly easing along hoping for a mess of perch. Before I knew it, and right on time, I put 4 nice fat perfect eating size walleye on the stringer. Back I paddled into camp like I knew what I was doing, reputation intact, and the feast was on. I never did tell them that I basically got really lucky ;-)

I also would like to get on some big perch in canoe country.......gotta be plenty around!

I dont know if your'e looking specifically for the Q to get perch but if you want some jumbos closer to the border North and South Fowl have some submarines !

I'm heading out of Stanton Bay... All of the lakes according to the Ontario online source have Perch. I just have no idea where to get them. Maybe I need to be looking for shallow water in late Sept. I've heard about N & S Fowl... I'm nowhere near there though, this year... Thinking about it for next year though!

Great story MT!!!
