Utah Perchology

[fish_fear_me2]

We have been having some good chit chat on perch...in the thread on Willard Perch.  Have had some questions and discussions on related topics...of the history of perch in Utah, etc. 

I don't claim to be the definitive expert on this subject.  I do have a bit of exposure.  But it might be fun to open this up to anyone else who wants to post perch porn from the past...or to share observations or insights on the subject.

There are still perch in Deer Creek but I remember back in the 50s and 60s when you had a hard time finding a place on shore wher there werent a bunch of dead perch on shore. Back then not a lot of fishermen appreciated perch. They could be caught by the bucket full. Many were left to rot on shore by trout enthusiasts.
