People have been fishing it at both the narrows in the NW corner (accessed via the Conservation Area off Hwy 2) and off the boat launch at the Provincial Park. Haven't heard of any perch but plenty of pike. There's a huge amount of whitefish in there as well. As for walleye, I stick to Slave...much more reliable (my nice warm shack happens to be there too). I've been hearing good reports about Snipe though if you're after perch or big pike. Tight lines everybody!

The lake is poor for perch but has huge pike and walleye. Lots of winter kill through the years.
