It appears that the yellow perch in northern South Dakota are just finishing their spawn this week. One of my students collected some adult fish and spawned some fertile egg masses on Wednesday, with help from our local state agency biologists. We are also trawling about 8 lakes with a fine-mesh net, and caught just a few, very tiny perch larvae in a couple of our southern SD lakes this week. Thought that these might be reference points for a few of our interested "perch" folks here on the Forum.
