The YP eggs are tolerant of UV and the lighting conditions of early spring. Your pond is quite shallow and vegetation issues will be a constant problem together with potential oxygen sag problems in winter an/or mid-summer. Aeration for the pond will minimize DO problems especially in winter with ice and extended snow cover. Your pond has little depth at 4 ft deep. Increased depth of 14-20ft provides a greater DO reserve during winter. The better perch growers that I know use blue dye in their ponds. Thus it will work okay in your pond. Keep in mind fewer natural foods will occur with dye in the pond and with dye supplemental pellet food will help grow more and bigger perch.
