yellow perch fly suggestions

They love grubs here in VA, so I use any white small pattern with a little flash at the ends, they also tend to like the yellow and black bumble bees in the summer. UUUMMMMM YUM YUM

Geeze the recipes you folks are throwing out there are incredible. I've caught some yellow perch in shallow water in the warm spring bays using a bead-chain clouser. Yellow over white with some flash. Couldn't have been much deeper than five feet but some dandy perch. Only time I've ever caught 'em on a fly. Usually ice fishing and very, very deep. JGW

Dang, you guys are making me hungry with these recipies. Thanks for the great fly tips too! I'll definitely try some flashier patterns with estaz and experiment with some weedless adaptations to help me get into the thick stuff.

For Yellow Perch, I have done well with McGinty wet flies and Tellico nymphs.

This is the pattern that I've caught the majority of my yellow perch on. It's a also good pattern for sunfish, bass and trout, particularly stockies.

This fly is so universal that the chartreus color variation caught the state record steelhead on April 1, 2001 (20#-3 oz.). But then, most of our flies are extremely versatile.
