Default perch calgary

I live near-ish by calgary, and im tired of just trout. So im planning trying perch. I searched it up and the closest are glenmore (where to go on the lake?), carburn and chestermere (mostly pike, where's the perch?). I will fish from shore. I dont need secret honey holes, but just a general idea where. I will be spinning for perch.

You wont catch perch in any of those locations.

A few private lakes in Calgary will satisfy you if you can get access.

You'd be wasting your time trying to catch one in those other locations

Bumping the thread since I too would greatly appreciate a reliable, public, spot somewhere nearby or within calgary that I could do some perching.


It seems like some kind of cruel irony that the private waters have more perch than they know what to do with while us unwashed hordes sit suffering from perch deprivation.
