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.
In most aquatic systems, yellow perch are an important prey source for larger, insectivorous species, and many fishing lures are designed to resemble yellow perch, though fish-eating fish do not have the intelligence to tell the difference between lures but are some times weary of lures.
