Perch
Yellow perch are a popular target in Charlevoix, and for good reason. The interconnected lakes provide ample habitat for these tasty panfish. The best time to target perch is typically in the fall, as they school up in large numbers before winter. Look for them in deeper water near weed beds and drop-offs in Lake Charlevoix. Ice fishing is also very popular, providing access to perch throughout the winter. Spring can also be productive as perch move into shallower waters to spawn. Small minnows and perch rigs are the go-to baits. A local tip: Don't be afraid to move around until you find a school of perch; they often congregate in specific areas. The Mount McSauba Recreation Area offers shoreline access to Lake Michigan where perch can be found. Be aware of any size or bag limits, as these can change from year to year.
