Yellow Perch

The yellow perch, unlike the so-called white perch, Morone americana, is a true perch, not a bass.



The following are fishing methods used to catch this fish:
Its most striking characteristic is its golden yellow body with 6-8 dark fingers or bands which extend from the back towards the belly.Although the average size caught by anglers is 4-12 oz. (0.1-0.34 kg) it provides fast action and can be caught all year long. It will devour almost any natural bait and many types of artificials, including flies, and is an active feeder even in the winter when it is caught while ice fishing.
