There are several lakes in Grant County that will be attracting anglers’ attention before they close at the end of September. Two in particular are Park and Blue lakes. These are very popular with trout anglers, but this time of year you may see more people fishing for perch. Both of these lakes have been known to produce excellent catches of large perch this time of year. Anglers will also start looking for perch on Moses Lake. The area near the I-90 Bridge is one of the better places to find perch, and it’s possible to get them from the shore as well as from boats. I will test the waters here from shore and if I find good numbers of them, I will recruit friends to fish here from a boat and also explore some other spots on the lake. The area near south end of Gaileys Island had big schools of fat perch last season. The crappie fishing was outstanding last year on Moses Lake, too. I am also getting reports of very good fishing for perch of unusually large size at Fish Lake, near Lake Wenatchee. I plan to see how big they are very soon.
