Pond Boss Forums FISH & FISHING Fly Fishing & Other Fish Species Yellow perch on spinners

I used to think the same thing. My YP hit better very early, or fairly late. I catch them on a pretty small jig with a 1" section of worm hanging off the hook. I run it fairly slow and deep. All the ones I catch have been hitting my fish food, but I never see them feeding. I've been told they come up from deeper water hit it, and go back down. It's impossible (for me) to actually see them.
