Any tips or hot spots for perch here?

There was perch in this lake 30 years ago. The had stocked brown trout and there was a healthy population of good size browns and rainbows. Then someone threw in perch. Browns were the first to go. Would take a boat to the far side and catch 100 perch in a day easy. But none with any size. To my knowledge they never killed the lake off but over the years the perch seemed to disappear. Back in a big way now. Was there last weekend and piles of guys fishing for them. One guy kept 4 but they were not big.

I caught a bunch of Perch as well, called the Stoney Plain office, talked to the biologist, was news to them, but needless to say they were not happy... Looks like a bucket biologist... I guess they actually caught a guy with a five trying to put them in one of the lakes... It's going to rapidly to down now, and the Perch will take over... Just like Hasse

Out fishing yesterday and to my surprise I caught more perch than trout! Is this normal? Star lake supposed to have perch?

Was out today fishing off shore for about 3 hrs nothing biting

Been here the last 2 weekends and once again today. No bites, no nothing. About 20 inches of ice

Fished for 5 hours. No bites, nothing on the camera or flasher. About 18%u201D of ice.

Fished 3-1/2 hours on 20th January. Didn't see or catch a single fish. About 14" of ice.

Thick ice lots of trucks on the ice.

Ice is thick enough to drive on. Saw some nice sized rainbows on the camera.

Hows the Fishing been this Winter on Star Lake ??

Was fishing off the shoreline today Caught one rainbow fish was a 4-lb 19-3/4%u201D long

Fish taste muddy this year

Used to fish perch on the far side of the lake from the parking lot. There was piles of them. Never anything big though. 10" at most and that's probably stretching it. I remember that lots of then had growths and deformities. But have not seen one in ages. There also use to be brown trout that where stocked in there. Probably 25 years ago.

We have a great day yesterday, windy day still able to catch trouts.

There used to be perch in this lake ages ago. But I haven't even seen one in the last 20 years.

Hey Everyone, so has anyone had much success with perch fishing here? I have had many fun nights fishing for trout but never ever seen and of the perch. Seems weird the limit is 15 if there are none to be found. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks D

Does anyone know if they have stock the lake ?

The lake is still entirely covered in 2-3 inches of ice

Thankyou very much

I use shrimp and when its slow I use orange floating powerbait with glitter. Always use small gold tungsten jigs for my dead bait and then I usually use some sort of jigging lure most of the time a vertical jigging rap.

Hey ride rank, what do you use to catch em when you get on em right before dark? Thanks.

What did you use to catch the 10lber on? Slow fishing during the day always catch a bunch right before dark but only 12-16" through the ice. No big ones I can find the big ones in the summer on flys but idk where they seem to be in the winter.

Hey everyone. What are you all catching on? I

Hi What are you using for baits in ice fishing at Star Lake? Thanks

Didn't know there was monsters in here. Was going for a brood stock and caught a 10lber.

Brood trout stocked... They really aren't fussy, have been in a hatchery all their lives. Some ass kept 5 of the things, acting like he really accomplished something.... They are put in there like that you twit... Please leave a few for everyone to have a chance to catch one.... If their tails are cropped, they are brood stock

Thanks for the Fishing update what are you catching them on ?

They just stocked it up again, this time with 2-3 pounders! Fun times!

Hi wondering if anybody has been catching any Trout at Star lake ?

Out yesterday. Caught nothing, but spent an hour picking up garbage along the shoreline. Ffs. This is why we can't have nice things people. Learn some respect!

green or pink power bate

Anyone fish here recently?? If so what are the fish biting on?? Thanks. Tight lines fellas.

Went out yesterday evening, as well as approximately one week ago too. First time, I got just one bite - though others seemed to be catching them from shore and from boats. Last night, I landed one small rainbow casting a brown/silver spoon....but didn't see anybody else with much action.

Good location

Went out on Monday. Landed 5 nice rainbows on pink and orange power eggs. But early in the morning. Was done by 9am.

want to head out there for the first time in the next couple day. Any advice would be appreciated. thanks.

Went out in a dingy yesterday evening, and caught 5 or 6 trout, 2 of which were keepers. Was casting/trolling a brown/silver spoon. PS - thanks Parkland County for installing a dock at the boat ramp!

Went out on monday, friday and sunday Had a good time with some beginners showing them how to fish, but i wish people wouldn't fish right on the boat lauch or dock... at the very least you would hope they would atleast move when they see you wanna come in/go out :/ makes it kind of a pain in the butt to shore your boat (12 foot aluminum with a 46lb thrust minkota) but oh well common sense isn't very common.

Thanks JackFish Jake!
