Narrow Lake has small pike and perch. I have had luck fishing North end of lake.

I've fished both lakes several times, mostly hammer handle pike in them, but I've caught some good sized pike from both as well. Never fished for perch in the lakes, I know they are there but I don't know how big they are. Both lakes are quite deep, you might even be able to catch a walleye in Narrow but don't count on it because they don't reproduce well since there are no adequate spawning areas and the creek into Narrow that used to be a spawning area has long been dry. Narrow lake has a lot clearer water than Long lake, ice fishing can be fun if you have a tent since you can see quite deep into the water.

Here is a picture of a nice Long Lake pike, I know of bigger fish in both lakes..
