BLACK BULLHEAD, BROWN BULLHEAD, BLUEGILL, LARGEMOUTH BASS, YELLOW PERCH AND WALLEYE NET CATCHES FELL BETWEEN THE FIRST AND THIRD QUARTILE OF THE REGIONAL MEDIAN, INDICATING A POPULATION WHICH IS AVG FOR THIS REGION. THE YELLOW BULLHEAD NET CATCHES WERE BELOW THE FIRST QUARTILE OF THE REGION MEDIAN INDICATING A LOW POPULATION. THREE GILLNETS WERE SET IN JUNE OF 1980 AND 1986. FIVE GILLNETS WERE SET IN JULY OF 1967. NORTHERN PIKE ABUNDANCE IN 1986 IS COM- PARABLE TO THE 1967 NETTING BUT SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER THAN THE 1980 NETTING. THE YELLOW PERCH POPULATION IN 1986 IS COMPARABLE TO THE NETTING AND SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER THAN THE 1980 NETTING.

AGE CLASSES IV AND VI EXHIBITED A AVG GROWTH RATE WHILE THE OTHER AGE CLASSES HAD ABOVE AVERAGE GROWTH RATES WHEN COM- PARED TO THE STATEWIDE GROWTH RATE AVERAGES. THE LENGTH FREQUENCY RANGE WAS FROM 15.2-39.3 INCHES WITH THE MEDIAN LENGTH BEING IN THE 21' GROUP AND WEIGHING APPROXIMATELY 2.4 PDS WHICH IS LARGER THAN PAST SURVEYS. PERRY LAKE, BEING AN OCCASIONAL WINTERKILL LAKE, HAS GREAT FLUCTUATION IN FISH POPULATIONS AND STRUCTURE. THIS IS VERY NOTICEABLE IN THE BULLHEAD POPULATIONS. BLACK BULLHEAD WENT FROM 14.6/TRAPNET AND 0.0 IN GILLNETS IN 1967 TO 47.0/TRAPNET AND 7.7 IN THE GILLNETS.
