The yellow perch (''Perca flavescens''), commonly referred to as perch, striped perch, American perch, American river perch or preacher is a freshwater perciform fish native to much of North America. The yellow perch was described in 1814 by Samuel Latham Mitchill from New York.

Unadilla River
The Unadilla River is a river in the Central New York Region of New York State. The river begins northeast of the hamlet of Millers Mills and flows generally south to the village of Sidney, where it converges with the Susquehanna River, which drains into the Chesapeake Bay, a bay of the Atlantic Ocean. Most of the length of the Unadilla forms the western border of Otsego County and the eastern borders of Chenango and Madison counties, all in New York.

Settlers resented British efforts to control their movements, and continued to encroach on Native American territories. Branches The Unadilla has two branches which join at Unadilla Forks on the Otsego-Madison County border. *The main branch of the Unadilla, referred to as the Unadilla River, starts northeast of the ham ...
