Ice Fishing Jumbo Perch on Lake Cascade Idaho Feb 2021 - You Won't Find These Fish in Lake Erie

Ice Fishing on Lake Cascade in Idaho was a great experience. Driving 31 hours from the shores of Lake Erie was long trip but definitely worth it for the experience of catching 2 pound jumbo perch. With our ice fishing gear behind us we took our snowmobiles out to many spots on the lake in search of that sumo perch. Snowmobiling on Lake cascade can be tricky due to layers of slush that can form after a couple warms days. We got stuck in waist deep slush. Since 2013, Lake Cascade perch anglers have broken the Idaho state record three times, and have set two Yellow Perch world records. Perch over 14 inches in Lake Cascade are anywhere from 8 to 14 years old – which is extremely long-lived for this species. Lake Cascade (formerly Cascade Reservoir, is a reservoir in the western United States, on the North Fork of the Payette River in Valley County, Idaho. Located in the Boise National Forest, it has a surface area of 47 square miles, and is the fourth largest lake or reservoir in the state.
