We've been fishing Lac Seul a couple times a year for 13+ years, and while the walleye bite has run the entire Canadian gamut from "Holy moly" to "best trip ever", and we've caught a few northerns, a couple smallies, we've never caught any quantity of perch. Now while I wouldn't say I'd leave a "jumpin' in the boat" walleye bite to go catch perch, Being the walleye limit on Lac Seul is 2 or 4, and the perch limit is 50, it'd be a nice opportunity to bring some fish back that are just as tasty without putting the hurt on the walleye population.

So, to my question, we fish the NE side of Lac Seul. Are there few perch there or am I just not looking in the right places? If it's the latter, any tips on finding "the right places?" We're there the second week of June and again the second week of July. I'm NOT asking for spots, but types of structure and maybe techniques, just to get me going.

Thanks!

I have not fished the NE side of LS, but at the NW end, over the last several years we have been catching perch right along with walleye, same depth and structure, years before we rarely caught perch at all. Perch fry up eat just as well as walleye! Good luck on the NE side! I'll be on LS in 47 days!

Once in a while we would catch some in Hidden lake or Moose bay but that has been it for 28 years for us. I would love spend a day if I knew where to find them.
