Default Fox Creek area fishing

I hear there are some nice perch around the Fox Creek area. Anyone know what lake/lakes are best? I heard Crooked Lake? Anybody?

Yup crooked used to be one AWESOME place for perch, then the small pike became prolific then a winter kill and now the place sucks

I cant think of the lake name off the top of my head but there is a lake north of iosigun that is wonderful perch fishing, but its hard to get to. I dont know how much snow you have up there but, you will either have to hike a couple km or take a sled in

It's probably Meekwap lake. I hear that it used to produce good sized perch, but I fished there this winter and there was just lots of tiny perch and hammer handle pike.
