Perch
Today was a pretty tough fishing day for perch in a small derby. With that being said, I believe that the lake Trout are really disturbing the perch and their behavior. I launched out of the Penn Yan branch, and the channel was about 46-48 degrees. The main body of the lake is still at about 36-38 degrees. When I did find a school of perch, it was really tough to get a bite and it was sporadic between perch and lake trout being caught. Seems like everything is relating to a piece of off-shore structure, whether it be a boulder or otherwise.

Water temp dropped from 45 to 41, but i almost seemed to make the smallmouth bite better. They were stacked in a few small areas, but 30-35 feet of water seemed to be the key.
