I thought I had alot of yellow perch in our pond but never see any young from shore in the 4-6" size. I am wondering if farther south they really populate fast. I am not seeing much recruitment at all and we stocked our pond with 400 in 2012. Shiners did get more time in the pond then the perch and the very high population of shiners could be eating the perch fry when small.

We only have five walleye in the pond too as of last year.

No ribbons yet but ice has been out for only a week.
No toads thrilling yet.

Cody Note: When you hear the toads trilling the perch spawn in usually done.
