Perch at Lesser Slave lake

[duckhunter1]

I have been fishing Slave for a while now. i have found good walleye and some good pike, but I have not found even one perch ice fishing. I am not looking for anyones honey hole, just a starting point for perch. I fish mostly Canyon Creek and Widewater.
Thank You in advance

I used to fish that lake quite a bit, the only perch I've caught were incidental catches while walleye fishing. Every one was a 13" plus humpy though. I don't think there are a lot of perch in the lake, but the odd one you do pick up is a beauty.

Use to fish there lots I'm sure there is pockets of perch now but there is way less perch then there use to be. Faust bay is we're I use to catch them. Never caught a bunch maybe 12 be best day but that was 18 years ago.

WE used to get a few off cutbank but I haven't gone there in years.

Cutbank

Expect to drill 50 holes, and keep moving hole to hole. You will catch a couple at best at any hole, and will hit 4 dead holes before the next fish. However, they are good size.
