With ice now leaving and water at 36F you are IMO about 10-16 days away from seeing yellow perch eggs. Monitor your water temperatures. However last year when ice melted later than normal, I did see the first egg ribbon 9 days later when surface water was 43F; in coldest water that I have ever seen the 1st YP eggs.
