Yellow Perch are considered
by many to be an even tastier panfish than Crappie. Lakes with abundant forage
produce Yellow Perch topping one pound and occasionally twice that size. After
ice-out in late April or May, scads of Perch are caught near shore, where they
spawn. Fishing weedlines and flats bordering deeper water pays off through
summer. Light slip-sinker rigs or split-shot and hook with a worm or small
minnow are all you need to catch them. This fish is found in Rice Lake, Chemong
Lake, Pigeon Lake, Stoney Lake, Buckhorn Lake and more. |
