Fish in Perent Lake

Species found in Minnesota DNR fish surveys of Perent Lake in the last 10 years or its latest survey (June 24, 2019).

  • WalleyeSpawns over gravel and rock in the shallows soon after ice-out, peaking in 42–50°F water; in summer it holds deeper and feeds in the shallows at dawn and dusk.
  • Northern pikeSpawns in flooded, weedy shallows right after ice-out and keeps feeding in cold water, so it bites from spring through ice season.
  • Yellow perchSpawns in early spring, draping egg ribbons over weeds and brush, and bites eagerly on worms all year, including through the ice.
  • Rock bassNests over gravel near rocks and logs in late spring and stays close to rocky cover all summer.
