Michigan Yellow Perch Fishing

Length: 4-10 inches
Weight: 6-10 ounces
Water: Perch prefer a water temperature of 66-70º F in varing water depth. They are found in Lake Michigan, Muskegon and Inland Lakes

Angling: Yellow perch are primarily bottom feeders with a slow deliberate bite. They eat almost anything, but prefer minnows, insect larvae, plankton, and worms. Tackle may range from a simple handline or a fly rod in summer to a short, whippy, jigging rod in winter. Because perch prefer cooler water, the best fishing is usually in deep water. Perch move about in schools, often numbering in the hundreds. If one spot is unproductive after a few tries, it is best to move to other spots until a school is located.
Spawning: Spawning normally occurs shortly after ice-out in April or early May at water temperatures of 45 - 52º F
Popular Method: Perch are popular with ice fishermen and can be caught at a wide range of depths, often quite shallow toward the end of ice-fishing season. Small tear drops tipped with insect larva (spikes, mousies or wax worms) or plain hooks with minnows are preferred ice-fishing baits.
