This year has been the pits for fishing weather wise, period! I say if you want some perch for the freezer or just a meal or 2 then you best take what the lake is willing to give you when you can get out fishing. Who knows what this algae situation is going to become.

Later this year when they do the trawls for the young of year walleye I look for poor results, not because there was a bad recruitment of YOY walleyes (and that certainly is a possibility) but because the dead and dieing algae would have forced the YOY eyes to move to locations that are not normally part of the areas surveyed. They simply will not remain in areas that they cannot breath in, they will move to survive, they are not suicidal.
