Yellow perch occur in all major drainages of Minnesota. They live in both lakes and streams, including Lake Superior and the trout streams of the North Shore. Yellow perch are more abundant in lakes and backwaters of large rivers than they are in swift-flowing streams.
Although most anglers agree yellow perch are a reliable catch, there is a trick to consistently catching large fish. Yellow perch move in schools searching for food, and though they can be found at various depths, they tend to feed near the bottom. The successful angler should also move around in search of them, starting near the bottom and working towards the surface before moving to a new location.
