Hi Gene. When did your ice go out on your pond? I'm thinking that your yellow perch spawn should happen soon. We do quite a bit of work in the Sandhills, and we often have perch larvae by mid to late April. We've got several other NE forum members, so hopefully they'll chime in on their spawning times for perch.

Try putting out a brush structure in a convenient location so you can watch for an egg mass. Any type of Christmas tree or bundle of deciduous tree branches will work. Just put the structure near shore is 2-4 feet of water, and they'll find it!
