Yellow Perch

    Yellow Perch are one of the best-tasting
    freshwater fish.  Some anglers absolutely
    love catching perch, while others may get
    annoyed by them because they will steal

your bait when anglers are fishing for walleye or bass with live bait.  
Most perch are between 6 and 9 inches long, but many lakes
produce good populations of jumbo perch in the 10 to 12 inch range
with some even bigger.  Perch fishing is typically best in clear, cool
lakes and in reservoirs that contain rock,  gravel or sand bottoms.  
Weedy, muddy bottomed lakes can hold large populations of perch,
but there usually isn't a big enough food source for them to sustain a
good population of big fish.  The weeds give them plenty of places to
hide from walleye, pike and bass.  With more perch there is more
competition, which leads to smaller fish.
