Fish Lake is a blast and you should have no problem catching some fish. Last time I was there we caught 6 species including Rainbow, Splake, Tiger and Lake Trout in addition to Kokanee and Perch. The perch are plentiful and you should have no problem catching them in most of the lake. Look at the edge of the weed beds - the water is so clear you can see them but they like the weeds for cover. As has been mentioned, a small jig with a piece of worm usually works well. Also, the east side below the pines in about 15 to 20 feet of water you should be able to see some. As for trout and Kokanee, the usual trolling techniques work well. Rainbows will tend to be closer to the top and Lakers closer to the bottom.
