Went up there a couple years ago between Christmas and New Years. Seven of us fished 2 1/2 days and caught 1 perch. Picked up a few small walleyes and some northerns on tip-ups. We stayed at Woodland, which was a nice place to stay, they were very helpful, fish just weren't hitting for anyone. Maybe if you are hooked up with the Perch Patrol it will help. Also later in the year is supposed to be better. Someone advised me before I went you need a noodle rod to feel the strikes, personally I liked a stiffer, more sensitive rod( I used a Dave Genz lightening rod) You'll be fishing in deep water most of the time. Hope you have better luck than we did.

Perch Express? They're up with Perch Patrol aren't they? I know a guy who is a cousin to one of the patrol. He goes up a couple times a year and says those guys absolutely work their butts off for you. Good Luck..g
