If your perch are like mine, you'll catch a lot of bluegill before you catch one perch but keep trying. I always do better with perch after the water cools a bit more. I've put them all back because I don't see much recruitment. Currently trying to catch all the HBG I can because I'm sure they prey on small perch.

Thanks both of you. I may give the little piece of worm on a hook a try. I just bet the bg or re get to it first. I will look for egg strands again in late winter, early spring. I think you will be surprised how many strands you will have had that you don't see. I really under estimated that. Another thing I didn't expect was how well the shiners will eat the young perch fry. They have really done a job on ours to we might be getting 1000-1500 new young perch that make it to 5" per year. I get these numbers by the number of original stockers we have left and 5-1 ratio we catch them to the new young.

I am not even close to giving up hope on the yp, but it sure is nice to hear all the encouragement. I will look for egg ribbons early spring! May even break out a worm or grub to see if I can hook one.
I am using this thread to keep my timelines straight too, and as a place to put yearly catch/cull and wr info too.
The people on this forum have done so much to help, maybe someone will get some use from something here.
