A lake like Hasse isn't large enough to support huge numbers of larger perch in any case. If more pike were introduced to trim them down and, in a few years, more of the stunts got up to reasonable size due to a substantially reduced population, the lake might be easily fished out (especially considering its popularity and proximity to the city).
As much as I love perch, I think that lake would offer more opportunity for better fish if it went back to being the trout only lake it was in the past.

Though this was my first trip to Hasse, I'm going to have to agree that as far as angling goes, it would definitely be better if it was back to being just a trout lake.
That being said, now that the perch are in there, what can be done?
