The chilly weather that put a layer of ice on Moses Lake and stalled the perch fishing has melted away, and anglers are back at it near the I-90 Bridge. I didn’t arrive at Blue Heron Park until about midday so there was just one person fishing from rip rap bank and one angler on the bridge. There was one boat fishing near the up lake side of the bridge. Fishing had slowed by then. I made a couple of casts and just got one bite, and I saw a fish caught by an angler in the boat. I would think that the good fishing in this area should continue for a while. I can remember fishing through March and into early April for perch on Moses Lake. Then, when the water warmed up a bit, we switched to fishing for walleye and smallmouth bass. It is hard to say for sure, but with the warmer temperatures we are experiencing this winter, things may happen earlier than usual this season. I had a great time catching perch on Moses last year and had the best fishing for largemouth smallmouth bass ever.
