[cool][#0000FF]Rabbit Gulch is about the easiest access but it has not been producing good results for perch this winter. The best perch action remains in the deeper channels at several points around the lake...like on either side of the bridge.
However, if you get on the ice at Rabbit Gulch and head NE out into the channel...checking for depth and fish as you go...you will find some deeper water and some fish. But I suspect there are also some fish in shallower water in Rabbit Gulch by now...just nobody fishing for them. It is getting close to spawning time and that is a prime spawn area.
Rabbit Gulch is also usually pretty good for trout. In fact, some folks have reported catching trout in only a few feet of water at several spots around the lake. The spring spawning bows (sterile) in the lake will be spawning right about iceout and they are shallow over gravel.
There have also been good recent catches of perch from the deep channel out from Indian Bay. Follow the tracks from the easy access point at the end of old Hwy 40 road that goes down into the lake at that point.
Here are some maps, etc.
