Question: what is the difference between yellow perch and lake perch?
Answer: Appearance. White and Yellow Perch are Panfish, meaning that they are among the smallest fish you can catch. White Perch are slightly bigger on average, ranging from 8 to 10 inches and up to a pound in weight. Yellow Perch, on the other hand, range from 4 to 10 inches, but mostly average out in the 6-inch range.
