Lake Washington Perch Fishing

Though it is getting a little colder, the few guys still chasing perch on Lake Washington have been doing just fine.  It is still not too late to get a bucket of these fine eating pan fish before Winter is here.  The barge mooring area out of Kenmore has been a good spot to focus your attention.  You can catch your first perch on a jig such as a Swedish Pimple and then go to small pieces of perch meat afterwards.  Remember not to keep any more than you want to clean.  Many have been greedy and once they have filleted a few have found that perhaps it's a little too much work.

This is a great fishery for the kids as long as the weather does not spoil the day.
