Fishing for Perch is always fun

Great family fun

But Perch do come in all sizes.  

Spring is the time for fishing in deeper water on Lake of the Woods. The most successful approach to catching Perch in Spring is using a 3/8 oz jig tipped with a minnow.

Summer Perch fishing is typically done on reefs or humps at 15' to 30', using a jig and a minnow with a snap swivel or barrel swivel technique.

Fall fishing for Perch resembles spring fishing. They move just off their spring shallow spots to bays and inlets. Again the most effective technique is jig and a minnow.
