Perch Fishing Information
Fishing White Birch Haven
Common
Name: Yellow Perch
Scientific Name: Preca Flavescens
Family:
Percidae
Identification:
Dorsal region of head, back, and upper sides
white/Yellow to olive;
ventral region lighter. Eyes bright red to orange.
Fishing Methods:
Yellow perch are primarily bottom feeders
with a slow deliberate bite. They eat almost
anything, but prefer minnows, insect larvae,
plankton, and worms. Tackle may range from a
simple handline or a fly rod in summer to a
short, whippy, jigging rod in winter. Because
perch prefer cooler water, the best fishing is
usually in deep water. Perch move about in
schools, often numbering in the hundreds. If one
spot is unproductive after a few tries, it is
best to move to other spots until a school is
located.
