I fished Bear 4 years ago and the lake produced lots of mid sized perch and the occasional jumbo. The lake also had some big walleye in it and some fair sized pike.
Unfortunatley, that lake winter killed in late winter of 2008.
Two years after the winter kill, there were still no sightings of perch, though there were alot of hammerhandle pike being caught.
