YELLOW PERCH, The Yellow Perch is too well known and is too dear to the heartof the embryo fisherman to require extended mention. It canhardly be classed as a game fish, still a yellow perch weighing fromthree-quarters of a pound up will make a very respectable fight forlife. In some States this fish is almost exterminated, and its artifi-cial propagation has been taken up. The yellow perch does not liketo be alone, and while not always to be found in schools, still israrely found without others of its kind in close proximity, and al-most surely in the company of the sun fish, or pumpkin seed. Thefood qualities of the yellow perch are by no means to be despised,the flesh being hard and sweet.
