Perch lakes around Lac la Biche

[Aurorahunter]

Does anyone know of any accessible Perch lakes around the Lac la Biche area? We do have ATV and sleds. Any information would be appreciated
New to the area

Thanks

Good luck... people around here dont give up perch. Take your quads and skidoo's and go explore.

North Buck Lake has some nice perch.

Not a lot of perch in the lake to be honest, but when you get one it's usually a hump-back. Good luck finding where they are, it will be easier because you fellows have ATVs. Ice gets a little sketchy in the narrows of the north east, there must be a spring somewhere back in there.

Some old timer I talked too swore he caught a whitefish out of North Buck a few years ago but I would have to see it to believe it.

Lots of pike in the lake as well, some nice sized ones if you go deeper.

Hope this helps, tight lines!

PS: Beaver lake has some decent perch as well. Try the general area of the bay where the outlet is (beaver river?).

Used to be off the causeway to the PP.

Or, if you want to do some prospecting, can you see if the Perch ever recovered at Missawawi?

You could try Amisk, some there. Skeleton, Hope, Beaver, or go up Conklin way and try up around there.

I have caught some at Pinehurst as well.

Actually, there are a lot of good perch lakes other than the usual ones in Lakeland PP to try. Its just time and effort.

Just have to find them. Many lakes around that area have some.

Lots of drilling, moving spots and searching. Try different lures, bait and depths.

Long lake by Boyle use to be good, but getting harder to find the big guys.

Good Luck in the hunt.

When i was married and spent many weekends up.on Northbuck lake at the fatherinlaws place.... there was a tonne of nice perch.

Whitefish? Yes. I had the privilege of pulling quite a few nets and yes.. there are whites.. and tanks. At least 15 years ago haha. Ive fished many times since. The only whites ive handlined was by perch point off the road past the prov park turnoff

Fisheries Biologist told me this week that North Buck winter killed last year and the water levels have dropped severely as well. It’s in a down cycle now

[NSR Fisher]

Wow haha, not surprised by the low water but winterkill is news to me.

I'm heading up that way this weekend so I'll report how it is...if its as bad as you say we might end up on La Biche instead I guess!

[NSR Fisher]

By the way, did they by chance say how thick the ice was?
