We have our first perch ribbons on March 30th this year. Last year it was April 3rd.
pulled out 10 today alone.

Cheers Don.

dono, why do you figure your ribbons come about 2 weeks later than mine near Grand Rapids MI? Are you quite a bit further north?

It shows that he's from Ontario, Canada (eh.), so I'm assuming that's probably why.

Western NY, first perch ribbons spotted March 8th-ish. Very early, and kind of bonkers considering it was ice-out not too much earlier than that. Just warm in that sheltered corner where cattails break up the wind.

Not sure. We are just North of London Ontario.
