Tips
on Fishing for Yellow Perch
Yellow perch are one of Ontario’s most sought after fish, both by
anglers and commercial fishermen. Yellow perch are one of the finest tasting
freshwater fish. Perch tend to form large schools, making them easy to
catch. Popular baits include small minnows, worms and grubs, as well as
small jigs and spinners. They can be caught
in a variety of habitats year-round. Perch are readily caught through
the ice throughout the entire winter as well. Recently, catch and possession
limits have been imposed on a number of water bodies; check your regulations
for details.
