[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000][size 3]Since I REALLY like perch to eat (#1 pick for edible fish for me), I'll keep any over 7". And I'm REALLY liking the new BUBBA Cordless fillet set I just bought with 4 different blades. Takes less than 1 minute to completely fillet one fish. [cool][/size][/#800000][/font]

[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000][size 3]As to Hyrum perch, it's been a long time since I've seen the quantity and quality of perch coming out of there this year. I'm only keeping what my bride and I can eat in one sitting - 10. But many folks are going for the limit of 50. Hyrum may end up just like Rockport did after Doug Miller publicized it and started his perch party up there. It turned into a perch desert.[/size][/#800000][/font]

[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000][size 3]But perch tend to be a boom or bust species in Utah because of our weather patterns (drought vs non-drought years) and fishing pressure on our small lake resources. I'll continue to enjoy the Hyrum boom this year, such as it is, and hope for the best for next year.[/size][/#800000][/font]

[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000][size 3]I can be there on Friday about 9:15 AM if you'd like to hook up Jeff. Might be a little snowy based on the forecast last night. Call or text me.
