Perch begin spawning soon after ice out. They spawn
around 45 degrees. Even though the water is cold,
perch are extremely active. They move out of their
deep, wintering areas into shallower, weedy areas. Hard
bottoms such as gravel and sand hold more spawning
perch than soft, mucky bottoms. During the spawn,
catching perch is extremely easy. Most anglers use a
bobber, split shot, hook and their bait. Minnows work
best for larger perch, but worms will also do the trick.
Some of the more experienced anglers will use small jigs
baited with a piece of worm or a minnow.
