Can I catch perch during the spawn itself?
Yes, and often very well — because perch guard nothing. Spawning is a night-and-dawn affair at roughly 7–12 °C (45–54 °F): egg ribbons go over weeds and wood in 0.5–3 m (2–10 ft), and by day the same fish are loose in and around the bays, still eating. There is no bed-guarding pause like bass have, so the "spawn bite" is really just shallow, concentrated fish. Most jurisdictions keep perch open year-round for exactly this reason, but seasons and limits vary — check your local regulations before fishing a spring run.
