Yellow perch, unlike many other fish,
don't change colors much in different water types.
Their basic hue scheme remains a yellowish green body
color with white or cream undersides. The yellow perch
typically has dark vertical bands across their backs.
These fish have sharp teeth, and if you touch the
fish's body, you may cut your hands. Their spines
are sharp. They have at least a dozen stiff spines.
The bodies of yellow perch are generally deeper than
they are long. But most of them only grow to be about
a pound in weight and range from half a foot to about
15 inches long.
Yellow perch are also known as raccoon
perch, ringed perch, lake perch, and redfin perch.
The yellowish sides have 6 to 9 dark vertical bars.
The lower fins are amber to bright orange. Females
are not as brightly colored as males. Yellow perch
are easy to catch, but are not strong fighters. Popular
baits include small minnows, worms, leeches, crickets,
grubs, and crayfish tails. The most effective lures
are small jigs and spinners. The largest yellow perch
are found in open water areas of large lakes with
fairly clear water, a firm bottom and sparse to moderate
vegetation. Small lakes, ponds and rivers usually
produce smaller perch. Yellow perch prefer water temperature
from 65 ° to 72° F.
