Gotta agree with you there. Big perch are not as easy to find, but if i do find the school of jumbos they are as aesy as the dinks mist of the time. And when they are not on the bite, i would swear they didn't exist and go mad trying to catch just one! I guess I should also go on record saying that I DO love fishing for warm water fish and am happy we have them here. They are good eating and reproduce fast. Walleyes are fun and so are bass. If I could give a third place ranking behind trout and perch it would probably be catfish.
The one thing we need to remind ourselves, is that evolution over millions of years has placed trout and suckers in our state and the bodies of water and climate are favored by those fish. I think it's amazing that despite that, we have so many cool and warm water options available to us.
I live on Bear Lake because I love the fishing there above most other places, but I still fish the cache valley water every chance I can for bass, catfish, perch, walleye, etc....
