Where the fish are today
25% Slow for yellow perch today · 2–14 ft deep
- Water 51°F on top, much colder than they like, so they move slowly and stay deep.
- Best water today is 2–14 ft deep, mostly on flats.
- The lake is mixed top to bottom, so fish can use many depths.
Best zone: flat, about 1% of them, 12–16 ft deep (the fish on the map above).
