The yellow perch eggs I mentioned above were verified with pictures as YP eggs. I did some water temperature measurements today for this Forum YP egg experiment. Pond water at 4ft deep was 48F, while the temperature probe lying on the bottom of water 12" deep where eggs are usually laid along the shore was 51.4F; 3.4F warmer. Ohio will see lots of YP egg ribbons in perch ponds this coming week.
