Which Reservoirs Hold Legally Stocked Perch?

[Therapist]

Doggonefishin has nailed it. Deer Creek and Yuba are the only waters that have been legally stocked with perch. Deer Creek was stocked with perch when a tanker car with bass fry also had some perch fry in it. That occured in the late 20's, early 30's. Yuba recieved its perch from Deer Creek in the late 70's when Charlie Thompson and Doug Sachguchi were doing some studies on Perch in Deer Creek. Doug was a graduate student at the time and he was looking at the spawning habits. He removed some eggs from Deer Creek and put them in Yuba. They were also looking at providing forage for a new Walleye fishery in Yuba. All the other introductions in the state are ILLEAGLE !! Utah lake has gotten perch through the Provo River from Deer Creek simply because it is down stream from DC.
