ANGLING FOR THE 
PERCH 
(Continued from page 304) 
good-sized yellow perch, fried as above 
stated and I will ask nothing better. 
I have ofttimes tried to equal the 
catch above made, but have never been 
able todo so. It is one of those events 
that are thrust upon one now and then 
in a lifetime. The northern Michigan 
lakes teem with this fish; indeed, in 
some lakes one will find little else. I 
have found that where they are numer¬ 
ous, and the small ones by far pre¬ 
dominate, it is best to use a large sized 
fly and a spinner. The bass fly is 
therefore recommended. It works out 
both in theory and practice, that the 
large ones, if they strike at all, will 
seize the larger lure. It is well to 
use a light colored fly in the evening 
fishing, such as Yellow Sally, the 
White Miller and the Coachman. 
These are more readily detected in the 
water. 
The yellow perch often come in from 
the deep waters of the lake to the 
bays, and in the clear waters of the 
north one can stand up in a boat and 
see hundreds of them; in fact, one can 
almost pick out the fish he desires to 
cast to. The perch is rather chary 
about coming to the surface—hence 
the flies should be played down to 
them. Anyone can catch perch on flies 
if they will get them down in the 
water. I have played flies (three to a 
cast) in six feet of water off of the 
weed beds and have caught perch. Of 
course, in a case of this sort, one must 
add split shot to the leader—just 
enough to bring a little weight to it. 
The fecundity of the yellow perch is 
amazing, to say the very least. It is 
stated upon reliable authority, that a 
medium-sized female banded perch 
will produce 50,000 eggs, and that a 
female of two pounds weight will de- 
posite a string of eggs over seven feet 
in length, which will weigh nearly 
three pounds, and will almost fill a 
four-quart measure. The eggs are 
dotted along a string-like material of 
a transparent color which appears to 
be crumpled, so that the eggs, dotted 
thickly along it, give the whole the 
appearence of a piece of yellowish- 
white, accordion-plaited, lace. The 
string is round and consists of a series 
of concave disks fastened at the center 
by a thin gelatinous material, so that 
it much resembles a string of winkle 
eggs. When the water is approxi¬ 
mately 55 degrees F. the perch seem 
to spawn most freely, although they 
spawn also when the water is a little 
cooler; in May they are generally 
spawning in the Great Lakes region 
and continue for about two weeks, with 
pauses in between, if the weather turns 
chilly. In some years of a late spring,
