Outstanding specimens!.....I love the color of inland lake perch and the bright orange finage....we see many 16" perch from Lake Michigan every spring but the colors are pale in comparison.

That was a reference to the overly large size of the perch. Sorry for the attempt at fishing humor.

Michael, we had two fish that likely approached 2 pounds last week. They both measured 14 1/2 inches. I have personally taken 3 other perch from DCL that were larger than these, the biggest being 2 lb. 4 ozs. My friend Ron usually get several 'twos' each ice season there.
Lake record is 2 lb. 7 oz. I believe that Deep Creek is one of the premier 'trophy' perch lakes in the country and have promoted it as such through several articles and publications. With the new 10-perch limit on DCL it appears that many anglers will not travel for the biggies. I saw maybe 50 anglers on this 3,900 acre lake on Saturday, and that was the most icefishermen I have EVER seen on the lake on any given day! It is an amazing fishery!
