Top picture is a bluegill, bottom picture is a yellow perch. Irongate reservoir in Northern California is full of yellow perch, but about half the size of the one in the picture. If you are planning to go, would check to see if there is enough water in the reservoir to launch a boat. I have not been to Irongate since last summer and the water level was very low.

Yellow perch are plentiful in Washington state. They love night crawlers.

I find it fascinating, the number of names we all have for the same fish in different parts of the country. So, these are just about anywhere in the US that folks fish, except for a few places probably, when you catch one what do you call it?
And the second picture, where could I go in California to catch one of those? And what would you calll it?

Top one I’d call a BlueGill, we have similar up here with different gill plate color, a little yellow and red, we called SunFish when I was growing up. Bottom is a Perch, and we still catch them around here.

Bluegill (top picture), Yellow Perch (bottom perch). Bluegill will show up whenever/wherever ducks will land and poop out whatever bluegill eggs they've eaten in other ponds. (I'm told this...makes sense to me.) The perch are found just about as commonly as bluegill. For sure we have them here in Idaho. Big target for ice fishermen in Cascade Reservoir. Very good eating! (Very close to Walleye in that regard. I believe they may be in the same family.) Bluegill are good, too, but it takes so damn many of them to make a meal.

I believe that Fredfish posted a
similar photo on page 4 of this
post, but it looks like some folk
may have missed it and it bears repeating - and, repeating my
earlier post showing the range
of yellow perch in this country !
Also, someone earlier posted the
question - "Why yellow perch and
not just 'Perch' ?
- Answer ? -
To differentiate them from their counterpart, the WHITE perch, especially since many areas have
both, and often in the same
waters !
(See Download)
Unfortunately, it didn't post
directly, so please check the
'Downloads' ! Thanks !
