Techniques: Perch are quite simple to catch on most days. In Quebec and Ontario, target shallow water between May to September for smaller perch, deeper water for the "big ones". From October to April, the big ones are usually shallower. If you fish with worms use small hooks, if you fish with minnows, use hooks 2-4 sizes bigger. Use light sinkers, to ensure that you feel them biting, and keep a large bucket, as perch are quite tasty, especially if you have the patience to make boneless fillet out of the larger ones.
