Fishing for perch has been good with high catch rates and some nice sized fish available.

Recently, anglers have been catching tiger muskies in Phillips Reservoir that were stocked last year. They have grown nicely and are now over 24 inches. They were planted to help control small perch that are overly abundant. Any tiger muskies caught cannot be harvested and must be released.
