Bill, I have basically no cover and no spawning subtrate but an 8'x10' patch of cattails (which are completely covered toad eggs at the moment). I only stocked 3 adult perch a few years ago and 1 died. I had hundreds of 2-4" babies die and trapped several last year (posted photos before). This week I'm seeing 3"-4" following my bass spinnerbaits in to shore. The blades are as big as the perch. Plenty of LMB, HSB, a couple SMB, and a few CC present.
