The winter of 2013 was about the last time any of us really had good perch fishing in Starvation. There were reports in early 2014...as the ice came off the lake...of large numbers of dead perch washing up all around the lake. And the dead fish were of all sizes and age classes...so there was something besides spawn mortality involved. But, because it was not observed or studied by qualified biologists, there was never a definitive reason given for the dieoff. Although we have seen the aftermath and have lamented the lack of perch since.
In the attached PDF file there is a picture of a few guys from DWR who had a successful outing on Starvy just prior to the crash. This is a brief excerpt from the larger piece I put together on "FISHING STARVY". I have spoken with several folks from DWR and most of them have been unable to provide any further insight.
