Yes we had a great vacation up north last week.  We went to Ash Riviera Resort and RV Park.  It is located on the Ash River Trail which is a gateway to Kabetogama Lake and more.  Great resort and it sure is a place to get into some nice fish.  There is a slot there of keeping walleye’s  17 inches and under.  Not a problem for us at all.  We did however catch more over the slot than under.  Lot of walleye’s over 20 inches the week I was there.

The real bonus here are the perch as you will see in the pictures.  This has to be the place for jumbo perch.  Many between 12 and 14 inches, with bodies like footballs.  They made up our fish fry’s.  I was just amazed by the numbers and the size of  these perch.  What a place for smallmouth as well.  Haven’t caught any  under 15 inches.  I will post more pics in my Where To Go page but here are some.

That walleye up on top and to the left was 15 inches, so you can see how big these perch are that we caught.

Nice smallmouth my daughter caught.  20 inches.

Many walleye’s like this one in the 20 to 22 inch range.

Amazing perch fishing.  Mid day was the best for these jumbo’s.

Nice catch heading for the cleaning shack.  Great time.
