The perch population in Starvy has been poor at best since the crash in 2014. Too many hungry predators to allow the perch to reestablish a major presence like they had before. Still enough escape hungry mouths every year for some to survive and grow large enough to please anglers. But they are sparse and scattered. No huge schools of footlongs as in times past.
Those who catch perch these days are happy to catch one here and there. Any trip with more than a half dozen is a stellar trip. Best shot at multiples is being able to find a winter school under the ice...usually up in the Strawberry River arm...in deep water out off the rock points.
Definitely a "biblical system"...Seek and ye shall find...maybe.
