I went into Perent via Hog Creek in Sept, 2023. We caught walleye, pike, and rock bass. No smallmouth caught.

All the years I've fished Isabella, Parent, Silver Island, timber, frear, whitefish etc etc no rough fish smallmouth. Lots of 13-19 inch walleyes with 20-26 inchers mixed in.

I have read mixed things on the internets. Some say Perent Lake doesn't have smallies and some say they had a good time catching smallies. Which is it? Has anyone personally caught smallies in Perent Lake? (I am referring to PERENT Lake at the Hog Lake entry point -- not PARENT Lake which is somewhere else in the BWCA).

i was surprised to see in the 3 surveys the DNR has done since 1990 , they did NOT net 1 smally , looks like it's over ran with small walleyes. DNR Perent lake

Parent lake by Snowbank has Smallies. As far as I know Isabella Lake to Parent Lake and Hog creek does not have Smallies. It never use to but the whole BWCA they have spread like weeds.

I think that people are getting confused by Perent Lake and Parent Lake and are posting incorrect fishing reports under the wrong lake name.
