Recorded 40 catches of Yellow perch in Quebec. Most active — June–September. A day-by-day bite calendar for Yellow perch.
The bite is strong — fish are active. Pressure is rising — activity tends to be more subdued.
Best time — 11:00–16:00 (daytime activity).
Work the cover — snags, weed edges, hole entrances; retrieve the lure with pauses.
In clear water, natural colors work best: small jig or minnow bait.
Pack transitional-season clothing — mornings and evenings are chilly.
Worth going — it's a productive day.
The computed water temperature is around 12 °C — colder than the 12–22 °C comfort range for Yellow perch: the fish conserves energy and takes more cautiously.
Yellow perch feeds by day — between sunrise and sunset; their times are in the sun-and-moon card above.
Pressure is dropping 4 hPa over the day — fish are usually more active ahead of a weather change.
September is an active season for Yellow perch here.
These are the same values the bite curve above was computed from. How the forecast works
Clear · feels like +16°
The day is 5 min shorter than yesterday.
Sunshine hours count direct sun only — cloud cover cuts it, so it is shorter than daylight.
The windows are set by the moon's transit and rise, and the forecast above already accounts for them: within these hours the bite score sits higher than across the rest of the day, while the day's overall level still comes from the catch-calibrated model.
