winter lake options

ok so looking to do some lake fishing this week but don't want to just go drag gear around for kokanee/trout so my question is are the perch still willing biters?  Would probably use a bobber and either wax worms or maggots possibly even single eggs or worms?  Just curious is all... with the weather being kind of temperamental as of late Ill probably just head to lake meridian instead of facing lake washing machine or samamish in the cold or I might just wait to take the yak out again until spring and keep headin to the green river for salmon and maybe even some steelhead haven't decided yet just looking for opinions/options take care and hope everyone had a great turkey day!

In general, Perch bite all year long. Locate a lake with Perch and you can catch with a little elbow grease and savvy.  They are probably on the bottom though and a jig, or bottom rig would most likely work best.

right, perch are likely to be schooled together and near the bottom. A drop shot setup with stinky bait or a small hooked jig would be good ideas. Your best bet is probably going to involve locating them on the sonar and then jigging or dropping bait down

When i target winter perch. I can usually locate the school on the finder. I like to use a slip float with a small 1/32 MARIBOU jig. Granted the lake i fish is only 20 feet in the deepest . I set up like steelhead set up. And i just twitch away. It works well. If the. Bite is tough i tend to use a small piece of perch that usually livens up the day.
