Ashokan white perch

[mattfromkingston]

I didnt fish the ashokan much last year, but this year i
Have been catching a lot of white perch in the lower basin.
These guys are pretty big and agressively hitting big spoonwhile trolling. I cant imagine how annoying if they start stealing your sawbellies... Anyone else having a similar experience???

You should keep everyone you get even if just for garden compost

They can be very annoying, had some issues with them taking bait in lower basin the last couple trips there, also got some on worms today in the upper basin. The Ashokan used to have excellent yellow perch fishing, now I’m seeing almost all white perch. Has anyone caught many yellows out of there recently?

Keep and eat they are very good!

Some good perch

I used to throw them back thinking they were bony, but not really, and they taste pretty good, not as good as yellows or crappie, but not bad.

I love white perch.   They put a great fight on an ultralight.
