These attractive fish come in colours ranging from bright greens and golden browns to oranges and yellows. Their sides are marked with six to eight dark vertical bars. Anglers appreciate Perch for their fine flavour and the possibility of large catches.

Average weight of Perch is around 250 grams. Not a very big catch but a very easy one using even the simplest gear such as hook, line, and a light lure.
