Fishing

Perry Lake offers a large variety of fishing opportunities. White crappie, flathead catfish, walleye, white bass, channel catfish and sauger exist in abundant numbers throughout the lake.

Perry Lake is managed with several fisheries management tools, which include a water level fluctuation plan, habitat placement, annual stocking and length and creel limits. Sound management activities ensure a viable fish population for generations well into the future.
