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.
Perch breed in the late spring, laying their eggs onto any soft weed beds that they can find. The European perch is dark olive on the back with gold sides marked by vertical dark bars. The yellow perch is similar but is a lot lighter in color.
