Thanks for the report Joe, good to hear the lake is so full after those low water conditions there last year, do you think it is close to filling? From my experience the perch usually spawn right around ice off, so I'm sure the lake was much lower then. Sure would be nice to seesome kokes start showing up there this year. Were all your fish bows or did you catch any browns?
