In this episode of Angling Wisdom, Patrick Edwards invites expert angler and guide Brian "Bro" Brosdahl from "The Bro Roadshow” to explore the fascinating world of yellow perch fishing. Although Patrick admits he isn't an expert on perch, he has had plenty of unintentional catches while targeting other species like walleyes. Brian, a passionate and seasoned angler, shares valuable insights on yellow perch behavior, fishing techniques, and the importance of conservation.Tune in as Patrick and Bro discuss:Yellow Perch Overview- Native to North America, yellow perch are prolific breeders but can be overharvested. Larger “jumbos” are prized, but most perch are 6-10 inches long.- They are opportunistic feeders, eating minnows, crayfish, and snails, and are great for beginners due to their eagerness to bite.Fishing Techniques- Perch are found at varying depths depending on food availability. Target big perch with patience, especially in heavily pressured areas.- During the spawning season, fish for males near spawning areas using small jigs and waxworms. In summer, use underspins with minnows and nightcrawlers (Learn how to catch your own nightcrawlers here: Angling Wisdom: Episode 4).Year-Round Perch Fishing Strategy- Winter: Early ice fishing targets areas near green weeds, while mid-winter fishing focuses on deep basins with heavy lures.- Summer & Fall: Perch feed on crayfish and bug hatches, with aggressive jigging techniques working best in cooler water.Conservation and Ethical Fishing- Selectively harvest and release large females during spawning to ensure future populations. - - Use durable gear like tungsten spoons and specialized hooks to minimize harm during release.- Overharvesting is a concern, and anglers should limit their catch to preserve perch populations.Fishing Gear and Techniques- Brian shares tips on ice fishing equipment, including forward-facing sonar and 24-inch track snowmobiles for mobility. GPS tracking is essential for navigating unpredictable ice conditions.Fishing is about more than just catching fish—it's about understanding fish behavior, using the right gear, and maintaining an ethical approach to conservation. Whether you're a novice or an experienced angler, these insights will help you enjoy the sport and preserve it for future generations.Thanks for tuning in!
