PVR man thats the only place I have ever seen one or seen them caught.

Do you know of a different place? I am heading up in the middle of the week this week on tour with the band and I want to stop off at PVR to catch some dinner for the band...what do you use on the perch? I plan on jiggin' em or throwing a small rap. Whats the gig? anybody?

Does your name happen to be Robert? This is Jeff, Chris's bro-in-law.
PVR is the only place I know of as well. Catch'em with jigs, pearl white especially.

nice fish BuckL I am just getting this mini-jig thing down. I grew up SW fishing so I am used to some good size lead but what d you find works best for these little rascalls? I assume shad is the favorite diet of these guys...anybody know what the prey on specifically?

Crowley Lake is a good bet for Sacramento perch. Try big and little Hilton Bay in the shallows. Drift jigs or night crawlers. Also, Leighton Springs is a good spot also. Good luck.

I would try PVR. If you tube it, try down the center. I always catch them when I get tired of casting and I drag my fly behind my tube. Right when my sinking line gets near the bottom is when I feel some dead weight. They are some weak fighters ,but taste like Crappie. The same thing also happens to me at Crowley.

PVR is pleasant valley res.

I just got back from the sierras and the most productive bait was a green/red flake 2 inch curly tailed grub for the perch.
