The largest darter species in Michigan. Found in lakes and rivers statewide. Unlike most darters, Logperch are found in open-water and large rivers. Occasionally caught on tiny jigs.
No stocking records are on file for Northern Logperch.
This is common for several reasons: this species may reproduce naturally and not require stocking (e.g. Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike), it may be managed under a different program not tracked here, or records may predate our database. For the most current data, check the Michigan DNR Stocking Database directly.
