Perch Fishing:

Wabigoon Lake has many weedy bays where great populations of Perch can be found. Because of the size of the lake, perch in our lake get large enough to be classified as Jumbo Perch.

It's really easy to catch Perch in Wabigoon Lake. Just drift off the weed beds with a tiny spinner or straight hook with a little worm and you will catch them. A very effective way to catch lots of perch is to drive your boat into a weed bed, throw out your anchor and then drive out of the weeds while dragging your anchor. This way you pull out a big mass of weeds, which disturbs all the brine shrimp and bugs. This attracts Perch in swarms. Then leave your anchor in the water and still-fish straight down from the boat. A lot of nice Walleye and Bass get caught to.

With an Ontario Sport Fishing license, you can keep 50 Perch, which is a great way to bring home fish for the big fish fry.
