Fishing; Fishes. 114 AMERICAN ANSLEB'S YELLOW BARRED PERCH. PercaJlavescens; Cuvier. Back yellowish green; sides yellow, with six or seven dark vertical bands; body compressed, elongated; back slightly arched and tapering towards the tail, it is quite slim between the second dorsal and caudal fin; the anal and pectoral fins are of a yellowish red, or bright oranije; the first dorsal has twelve or thirteen spinous rays; the second, two spinous and fourteen soft rays; ventrals, one spine and five soft rays; anal, two spines and eight soft rays; caudal, slightly concave, with seventeen rays. There are some beau- tiful tints about this fish. Yellow-barred Perch are found in most of the large north- ern lakes, and with some other species which they closely resemble, as far south as Carolina, inhabiting tidal waters or lakes indiscriminately. They are easily taken with minnows and worms. In trolling the lakes for Black Bass, the angler is frequently annoyed by the great numbers of these Perch, and holds them in small esteem when in search of nobler prey.
