History & Status of the Fishery
The 2009 walleye population in Perent Lake was average for the lake class with a catch of 6.1 fish per net. The average length was 13.0 inches with a range from 6.9 to 28.9 inches. Only 28% of the walleye sampled in 2009 were greater than 14 inches; historically in Perent Lake, few walleyes over 20 inches were sampled in previous investigations. Growth for walleyes was slower than other lakes in the Finland area.
Northern pike numbers were low (1.7 per net) with an average weight of 2.8 pounds which was near the lake class median quartile. Recruitment was stable with fish from age two to nine sampled. Growth accelerated after age-5, when it appears the pike were able to fully utilize the whitefish as forage.
Yellow perch, lake whitefish and rock bass were also sampled in average numbers in the 2009 Perent Lake investigation.
The lake is completely within the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCAW) and is accessible from Hog Creek (3-mile paddle) and a portage trail from the Perent River. The USFS administers the BWCAW and the campsites on the Perent Lake. Permits are required and fees are charged for overnight use although day use permits are free. Pressure on the lake was moderate during the summer and early fall weekends. Perent Lake is not open to fall lake whitefish sport netting.
