Perch in Pineview

[gshorthair]

tube dude certainly hit the nail on the head. The low water has hurt the perch's ability to reproduce. Pineview got the worst of it. While we have dealt with a drought in the entire state that has hurt production across the state. Pineview was kept a an unusually low level because of the work on the dam. All the nice little bays that serve as nurseries for perch and crappie were turned into mud flats by early summer. With the construction complete and a good snow pack we should start to see a quick turn around in all the panfish in pineview. A couple of years and it should be very productive again. I don't know which I miss the most. The crappie in the spring or the perch in the winter. I hope both return soon. gshorthair
