Eurasian perch Fishing

Perca fluviatilis

The Eurasian perch is a widespread freshwater predator found in lakes, rivers, and reservoirs across Europe and Asia. Recognizable by its dark vertical stripes and spiny dorsal fin, it thrives in clear, slow-moving waters. Known for aggressive feeding, it preys on smaller fish, making it a popular catch for anglers and an effective baitfish for targeting larger predators like pike and zander.
