Perch Fishing

[copo427ss]

Anyone been perch fishing lately?

[copo427ss]

Anglers report heavy schools of yellow perch between Cattaraugus Creek and Sturgeon Point, 10 to 15 feet thick on the bottom in some spots. Perch catches have been very good, with some anglers reporting non-stop action and easy limits. Emerald shiners, salted shiners and even worms have worked well in 58-69 feet of water.

This came off the dec website hotline for this week
