Yellow Perch spawn in mid to late February under the ice usually in 5ft of water on sand bars. Most of the N.E. Indiana lakes with sand bottoms have very good populations of them. We use minnows, wigglers or Swedish Pimple tipped with spikes. Wigglers are mayfly larva that look kind of like little dragons, you hook them right behind the collar on the back or the tip of the tail. The larva will hump up and down all the time. I've caught all kinds of different fish on them. Perch and big gills love them. They live in sand bottom lakes. Wawasee is full of sand humps and flats. Guys fish the "slip" which is the north end of lake. Perch are right there with walleye on the eating list. If you ever get into the jumbo's you will be hooked........LOL h.h.
