When do yellow perch spawn?

Answer 1

Yellow perch typically spawn in the spring, usually between late March and early May, depending on the water temperature and geographical location. They prefer shallow, vegetated areas in lakes and rivers for spawning. Spawning occurs when water temperatures reach around 45 to 55 degrees Fahrenheit (7 to 13 degrees Celsius). During this time, females release their eggs, which are fertilized by males, often creating a dense cluster of eggs on submerged vegetation or structures.
