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.
Quick Answer. The American or yellow perch begins life by eating the zooplankton in the lake. These are tiny animals that float along the surface of the water. When the fish are mature, they eat animals found at the bottom of the lake, such as crabs, snails, isopods and insect larvae. When they are large enough, they eat other fish.
