Wright County early ice yellow perch?

[MNoutdoors99]

Hey all, I am looking to catch a decent perch in the 7" or bigger range and soon because in my class at school we get to taxidermy a fish and I would like to do a yellow perch, I have fished little Pulaski for 2 days and Buffalo for one and caught nothing on Buffalo lake and some bluegills and bass on little pulaski. Anyone got advice on spots in little Pulaski or Buffalo lake or just another lake near by Buffalo as well for perch? Thanks - jim

My guess is you'll have to drive farther to find some.  I bet there aren't 20 lakes in MN that can do that each year.  Day trip to Mille Lacs to get one.

Lots of lakes will put out 7-9inch perch. Look to the lakefinder app for help with lakes in your area.

I like shallow lakes with poor water quality. They are usually more fertile than deeper/clearwater lakes.

Try Ann lake south of howard. Not too far from buffalo. Do some sorting but most years it can be fun

Try Lake Sarah (10 miles east of Buffalo south of Hwy 55) Perch everywhere last winter.

I would think you could be successful on deer. Not sure how the ice is in the channel but I've caught some nice perch there in the hole at the mouth

I would 2nd Ann by Howard Lake. Hard to even fish out there a lot of times because the perch are so thick.
