Looking for the perfect perch...

Gearing up for BWCA 2011. Tying list is set before me. Heavy with clousers, poppers, leeches. This year though I want to focus some of the clousers on perch imitation. All the clousers will work and be crushed and eaten and spat upon, but I'm curious as to whether or not a perch copy would do any better than standard half and half stuff. The perch are significant forage up there, if not f*cking very signficant forage. I see them everywhere: scattering in the wake of charging predators. And in the guts of recently dispensed fish. Recall image below from BWCA 2010.


I'll get into some Enrico's-type stuff with taller silhouettes. For now though just trying standard clouser forms.

The task: give me your ideas regarding perfecting perch coloration and shape. Share any patterns that you like.

Would appreciate it.

One final note: always carry 15-20 clousers in BWCA. Don't roll in there with half a dozen because that just ain't right.
