Yellow Perch

[Hooligan]

I'm not one for panfishing in general, but I'll be up at a small lake in Susquehanna County next week that has a good yellow perch population. I haven't (knowingly) killed a fish in years, but I plan on doing so to a few of these perch. What type, size, and color flies would be effective on these future snacks? Thanks in advance.

I have found that perch can be difficult to hook since they tend to nip at flies. Try some flashy nymphs or wet flies but trim the tails off or tie them without tails as this will improve hook ups.
