Anglers should expect to see more “jumbo” perch in the next few years in Lake Cascade as the lake continues to see an increase in perch numbers, according to the Idaho Department of Fish and Game.“Numbers declined in 2017 and remained low for about three years, but we are now starting to see the rebound from that period,” said Anthony Dangora, Regional Fisheries Biologist with Fish and Game.An October survey of the lake that captured more than 1,200 fish showed more medium size fish from eight to 10 inches in length, compared to 2019 when many fish caught in the survey were about 14-inches long.“Those jumbos that provided excellent fishing from 2015 through 2019 also consumed many of their own offspring, but as the abundance of jumbos started to decline, we started to observe an increase of smaller perch,” Dangora said.Medium size fish caught in October should reach “jumbo” size in about four years and big perch should be plentiful in the foreseeable future.
