Leech lake perch report

[markkstanley]

Headed up to Leech on Thursday. Too windy on Thursday on Friday to fish where we wanted to on Leech so we chased crappies on another lake. Caught some nice slabs and way too many bass.

Finally got onto Leech today and the bite was going full force. Boated about 100 jumbos in a little over 4 hours of fishing. Got some bonus walleyes as well which we released immediately. We were fishing in 10 to 12 foot depths on a mid lake clay flat with sparse weed growth. Best presentation was pitching fatheads and hopping them slowly back to the boat. Slip bobbers took some fish but pitching was a lot more effective.

Here's a pic of the size of the perch we found. Very few were under 9 inches and we got bit almost every cast. Great fun. I'd get up to Leech as soon as you can.

And the bonus fish of the day.

Thanks for the great report ... too bad I don't have any time to make it up that way.
