Fishing Reports For Other North Dakota Lakes and Rivers. Here is my opinion on what happened to the perch at Sweet Briar. As soon as the perch population got to the point where the perch were big enough to clean, anglers cleaned it out. This happened to Froelich, West Lake, Green Lake, Dry Lake, Rice Lake, and many others to numerous to mention.
Anglers tend to fish perch lakes down until their is nothing left.
Sure there is still perch in these lakes but the vast majority of them currently lie in freezers. I think that the limit of 50 is to liberal and needs to be lowered. Fished mostly for bass casting bettlespin. Caught four largemouth in creek arm in NE part of lake. Tried a few other areas and had no luck.
