Got out on the ice again on the west side, and tried to get out to a little deeper water 37 ft. I kept 10 fish and they were all between 9 and 11". So it was a little better average size than last week. The first drop in each hole seemed to produce the larger fish in the pack each time. Did not see any bigger fish and only perch were coming around. The walk was easy but the wind was constant all day. Has anyone come across the big ones yet? Do you think we will see any 16" this winter? Cheers!

Anyone tells you they got a 16 inch perch they better have proof as the all-time province wide record from any lake in Ontario since 1916 is only 15.75 inches.

I can't imagine how I would react seeing a 16 incher..most likely a hear attack


seen my share of 14 inch plus and those are huge, let alone 15 inchers.


It may happen someday though
