History & Status of the Fishery

Perent Lake is located approximately 20 miles northwest of Tofte and is completely within the BWCAW. The US Forest Service administers the permit system for entry into BWCAW lakes for overnight camping and day use. The primary access is located on Kawishiwi Lake Road (Forest Service 354) and is a carry-in to Hog Creek followed by a three mile paddle to the lake. A standard survey was completed the week of June 24th to monitor the fish community. Sampling effort consisted of twelve gill net sets and three mini-fyke trap net sets.

The 2019 Walleye catch rate of 16.92 per gill net was above the normal range for similar lakes but consistent with previous surveys. Size ranged from 6.2 to 26.8 inches with an average size of 12.5 inches and 0.73 pounds. Small-sized keepers, from 12 to 15 inches long, accounted for 46% of the catch.

Northern Pike were captured at a rate of 4.25 per gill net which is above the normal range and the highest of five surveys completed on the lake to date. Size structure was good and ranged from 12.1 to 38.2 inches with an average of 21.5 inches and 2.57 pounds. Pike greater than 30 inches long made up 10% of the gill net catch.

The Lake Whitefish population has remained at a high level compared to similar lakes for each of the four previous surveys of the lake. The 2019 catch rate of 3.08 per gill net was equal to the 2009 catch and just above the normal range.

Other important forage species in the lake include Yellow Perch and White Sucker. Yellow Perch catch was the highest of any survey to date. Although they may not be the size sought after by anglers a good number of perch do reach an acceptable size for harvest. White Sucker catch was near the normal range for similar lakes and consistent with previous surveys of the lake.

This lake has a good walleye base and the fishing can be excellent during the day due to the stained waters. You have to have a desire to canoe into this lake as it is in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness and access is by paddling through Hog Creek, which is a winding, slow moving waterway. A lot of solitude and abundant wildlife. We have seen deer, bear, moose, pine martin and numerous birds including Bald Eagles.
