Bret Alexander of Alexander's Guide Service walks us through a couple of his preferred setups to catch Green Bay Perch.
The Perfect Fluoro for Finesse Presentations
The new Yo-Zuri SuperFluoro is made with the finest raw materials and put through an exclusive extrusion process. The result is a well-rounded fluorocarbon that is manageable and easy to tie, yet extremely strong and abrasion resistant. Its high molecular weight provides excellent knot, shock and overall strength and exceptional abrasion resistance.
Great Fishing Destinations
Devils Lake, North Dakota
Devils Lake, N.D. is an easily reached top fishing destination. The quantity and quality of walleyes, perch, northern pike and/or white bass is astounding. Hire a guide who knows the spots, has the boat or ice-machine, provides tackle and bait, wants you to catch fish, cleans your catch, and makes a fishing day into a memory-filled day.
Arnesen’s Rocky Point, Lake of the Woods, MN
You can pursue walleyes, pike, saugers and perch by the famous Lake of the Woods reefs, located right out of the marina—Archie’s Reef, Arnesen’s Reef, 12-Mile Reef and Gull Rock Reef. Arnesen’s has a fleet of modern charter boats, equipped with depth finders, GPS and downriggers. Their captains are experienced, licensed by the USCG, and are experts at a variety of fishing methods.

Disconnect and escape the stressors of everyday life with a Canada fly-in fishing adventure to Ontario’s hidden gem—Slippery Winds Wilderness Lodge. Experience the tranquillity and rugged beauty of Canada’s northern wilderness. Breathtaking vistas, dense forests, majestic wildlife, and of course, world-class fishing on six lakes for six species.
Rainy River, Int’l Falls, Minnesota

Off the lake, enjoy hiking trails, picnic grounds and shore fishing areas. Spring and fall offer fishing opportunities not usually available in Minnesota.
