Mr. Bill Cody....Thanks for the great info!!! How deep will they lay eggs? I saw some last year (in my pond) in about 30" of water but none this year.

I know the perch are still there ( my kids are catching them). Two more questions, if you start harvesting perch out of your "farm pond", how big do you replace them with if you have no proof of reproduction? Or do the spawn use structure for a safe haven?

I've never caught a small perch in my pond...All original stockings (not complaining, I love'em). But I do not want to feed the LMB and the CC'S a perch dinner I want grin.
