Perch, let’s see them!

[Deleted member 38069]

My favorite fish to catch are walleye, perch, and crappies. Ive got the itch to chase perch. Let’s see your perch catches!



This lineup is from my latest outing and they were all around 8”.

My largest ever was 12” and my harvest minimum is 7.5”. One day, I’m going to chase a trophy sized one!

Tight lines!

Great morning from a great trip with my AF buddy!

7.5" to 12.5" has been the normal range on my catch this year. It seems to be averaging just over 10" this year.

A few over 13" has been a surprising exception.

What have you been catching them on?

I’m going to try a small fly 12” above the minnow.

Same, but I try to keep it a few feet off the bottom to target the bigger ones

Haven’t had the chance to chase perch yet this season which is my favorite ice fishing, but I had a great weekend of crappie fish a few weekends back.

Slow fishing, but pretty good average size. Really wish MT allowed live minnows where I fished. Need to get out and chase something other than perch & trout. Anybody else have Mondays & Tuesdays off?

Have had a few good perch days this winter

11 inches.

It is so awesome to see other loving pan fish. Even in the summer, it's all we fish for in the ponds. Winter we also keep the pickerel because they are fantastic to eat when pickled. I just get a kick out of the bones disintegrating from the process.

Pretty fun when you can find a school of jumbos.
