The Chesapeake Bay white perch have a a dark patch along the top of the back running along the dorsal fin. Likely a salt water coloration.
The white perch will run up the rivers of the bay to spawn in mid April by the millions. Great fishing.

Is this different from a crappie? I know the folks down in LA call crappie white perch, but I don't know if white perch is an actual species of its own. Either way, great drawing. I can't even make stick figures look good. I am always jealous of those who can take mental images and put them on media.

I'll need to look up white perch, I've not heard of them. We have White Perch here in Nebraska and they are considered a nuisance fish. http://digitalcommons.unl.edu/nebgamewhitepap/56/Nice drawing!

Think I'm missing some punctuation there in that spelling.

My Grandfather always called crappie, white perch. He lived his Whole life in Arkansas except for a few years when he was a baby. That was in Mississippi. miles
Look out for number 1, don't step in number 2.

Doc Yeah, there is not as much variation as a trout, but the big females get pretty dark. The one big thing is how much gold is on them. A lot of room for error there. A small male is pretty white/silver. The first one was pretty green, because I used a cad. yellow/raw umber/black for the green. Switched to an Ultramarine blue/deep yellow for the green, with a bit of raw umber, and it was a lot more controllable for what I needed to do. Heck - they change color as soon as you pull them out! Ended up with a fair facsimile, anyways. Still learning....

Great work, all the fish are well done.
I even like to see the minnows.

Great picture. Looks like what we called a sand bass when I was growing up in SW OK, kindof a mini striper.
