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.

Perch
The water is still very cold 36-37 degrees, and the perch are still very deep. I was able to see some very big female perch starting to pull up a little shallower about 20-25 foot on the Aqua Vu camera. Fishing was still pretty tough, but its getting better. The drop shot for sure seems to the most productive presentation.
