Where to catch Yellow Perch. The yellow perch is widespread species in the northern United States and in Canada. Although it occurs in nearly every U.S. state today, due to stocking, it is sparsely distributed in the South and through most of the West and Midwest.
How Long Do They Live? Female yellow perch grow faster and reach an overall bigger size than males do. Some females get to almost 375 mm (15 in) and weigh over 0.5 kg (1 lb). But it is more common to find both sexes at lengths of 200-290 mm (8-11 in) and average weights of 170-300 g (6-10 oz).
