Just curious if anybody was out on North this weekend? Haven't been there for a couple weekends because can't seem to find any decent size in the perch but just curious if anybody has any reports that could help me out. Been fishing stump the last couple weekends with pretty good luck but grew up fishing North Golden and South so its nice to get on one of those two lakes. Also has anybody been on south this year.. put a report in a while back about south but nobody got back to me. Not looking for anybodys honey hole, just some general info.

As previous posts stated, there are tons of little perch in this lake. I fished in 12 feet of water northwest of the south boat ramp and caught 50 perch in a couple hours. Would definitely be a good lake to bring some kids. Didn't have more than 1 or 2 keepers but the action was fun. Ice was like >15" and solid as hell. Drove out with a 3/4 ton no problem.

I have read some of the previous posts and for the most part people are catching tons of small perch. Even though these perch are small, they are still adults capable of reproducing. The size of this lake doesn't seem to be suitable for as many perch that are in there, therefore causing their growth to be stunted. Not saying people should be taking buckets of 6" perch out of here because that is just pointless, but leaving them in there doesn't necessarily mean they will be bigger next year either. The game and fish dept. targets lakes that are loaded with stunted adult perch and removes them before they spawn and relocates them in other lakes that are suitable for perch but dont necessarily have them yet. This is how your grandpa's pond could be a honey hole for jumbo perch in a couple years.
On a different note, I plan on going to North Golden this Saturday so hopefully I can get some action with some decent size. You can bet I won't be keeping the little guys though, I don't like cleaning fish that much. |

Fished North Golden on Sunday(15th) and slaughtered the perch(mostly about 6-8 inches, caught 3 that were 10-13 inches). Was fishing in about 10 FOW, using pretty much anything you could put down the hole. Tried various colored jigs, jigging raps, chubby darters...you name it. Had a couple tip-ups out but no northerns. Ice was about 10-12 inches, there was two guys who drove their pickups out( i would wait awhile yet). Overall wasn't too bad of a day fishing just wish I could've found some bigger fish.

Took the fiance out fishing for the first time this year... fished off of the west side and hammered the small perch again... no size at all. Fun time being out but need to find the bigger perch... once again i urge people to throw back the small ones so we have good fishing there next winter.

Fished 3hrs off north ramp and caught over 100 perch with my 9yr old daughter. She caught about 70 of them. I couldnt keep two rods in at once. Two buddies had my 10yr year old son in thier house 15yrds away and caught about 90. No size but very quick action, Kept zero. 10 feet of water. Using any jig with half of a minnow at a time.

Thinking about heading out to Golden tomorrow morning and was just wondering what the ice thickness is and if anyone has been driving on it after this cold week? Anyone willing to share what they are biting on. This will be my first time fishing there. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks guys!
