If you are spending time fishing in Palia, there’s a good chance you are hoping to hook a Yellow Perch. Though it’s one of the more common fish in the game, it doesn’t appear just anywhere. Knowing where to stand and when to cast your line makes all the difference. Here’s how you can approach this with ease.

Location of Yellow Perch in Palia

You won’t see Yellow Perch in every water body. In Palia, they tend to stick to rivers. That means ponds and coastal waters won’t help here. Focus your attention on the river stretches in Bahari Bay. Some of the most reliable areas include those flowing near the Flooded Fortress, as well as parts of the river that touch Proudhorn Pass and the Statue Garden.

The rivers you are searching for are broader than small creeks, and not every section will let you fish. At the Flooded Fortress, for example, you will notice some areas are either too shallow or out of bounds for casting. Look near waterfalls or deeper parts of the riverbed. Those are typically more fruitful.

Choose the Right Fishing Setup

You don’t need to overthink your equipment. For Yellow Perch, a basic rod works fine. Skip the bait. No glowworms. No crafted add-ons. Just your rod and a suitable spot by the river work well.

This fish doesn’t demand any special time frame either. Whether it’s morning, afternoon, or night, you can attempt to catch one without needing to adjust your play schedule.

What To Look For While Fishing

Once you are in the right place and casting into the river, patience becomes your tool. If you spot a fish with a yellow-green tint and medium size nibbling at the hook, you are likely on the right track. There might be other species swimming around, like the Silvery Minnow or Rosy Bitterling, but keep casting until the Yellow Perch shows up.

How To Handle a Slow Spawn

Sometimes, even in the right location, Yellow Perch won’t show up instantly. That doesn’t mean something is wrong. Their appearances can vary, so you might reel in a few other fish before getting the one you want. Keep casting in the same area for a bit longer before moving to a new spot.

How To Use Yellow Perch After Catching

Once you have caught one, you have options. You can sell a standard Yellow Perch for 33 gold, while a star-quality version brings in 49 gold. Alternatively, you might consider saving a few for cooking if you are experimenting with in-game recipes.
