The perch were very plentiful then. But most of the people who had cabins and just day fishermen were after trout. Of all the times I fished it back then I never saw people keep them. Most of the fishermen would fish for trout using a bobber with their bait down about 4 feet this would keep the bait away fromt he perch. Although the lake being a lot smaller they were able to kill all the perch when they poisoned it. Kinda makes you wonder why they were never able to kill all the chubs when they poisoned it the last time.
