	Perch - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Perch, of which there are three species, lend their name to the largest order of vertebrates: the Perciformes, from the Greek perke meaning perch, and the Latin forma meaning shape.
		The baits for perch are, minnows, red, marsh, brandling or lob worms, shrimps and artificial lures.
		Perch, unlike fish of prey, are gregarious, and in the winter months, when the frosts and floods have destroyed and carried away the beds of weeds, congregate together in the pools and eddies, and are then to be angled for with greatest success from 10 to 4 o'clock, from the edge of a stream eddy.

		Yellow perch, walleye, and sauger are larger perches that prefer the water of large streams, rivers, ponds, and lakes.

		Perch were measured and weighed to determine when in their life cycle the fish are most vulnerable to disease, predation or fishing.
		However, the poor survival rates of young perch during the last decade mean that new females are not replacing the old ones lost to fishing and natural mortality.
		The causes of this "recruitment failure" are not known, but the effects are clear: with few perch surviving their early years, the average age of the population is increasing quickly.

		In the summer, this perch favoured depth will likely be (relatively speaking - and to the waterbody you're fishing in) quite deep, and in the spring and very late fall may their favoured depth may be a bit shallower.
		Perch can be caught with relative consistency at the 25 down to 40 foot mark in lakes that are very deep - but for the most part -stick to the shallower waters - you'll catch fish - and have a lot more fun.

		I have to admit that I have never sought out to target perch before, so this was a completely new thing for me, and I fully expected the fishing to be light duty and easy going - like a walk in the park.
		Although perch normally overcome harvesting in waters where they are plentiful, it's still wise to "limit your kill - not kill your limit" every time on the water.
		Along with the perch came a nice lake trout for me. It could have easily parted my fine, 4 pound fluorocarbon leader, but I played the fish carefully as it made a couple runs back to the depths.

	White Perch/Fish of the Great Lakes by Wisconsin Sea Grant
		Prolific competitors of native fish species, white perch are believed to have the potential to cause declines of Great Lakes walleye populations.
		White perch have been found to eat the eggs of walleye (Stizostedion vitreum), white bass (Morone chrysops), other white perch and possibly other species as well.
		The collapse of the walleye fishery in the Bay of Quinte on the north shore of Lake Ontario coincided with the increase in white perch population and may have been a result of egg predation and the resulting lack of recruitment.
