Spawning Perch
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.
