The young perch feeds on various small animals that live in water: these are worms, insect larvae, and other invertebrates. An adult is considered a real predator.

The perch is an object of fishing. It is believed that it can always be caught. Perch habits the entire thickness of water, from coastal thickets and to deep pits. He is not considered an active nomad. As a rule, perch tries to adhere to one specific territory, its living space.

In the spring, I begin to catch a perch from the moment when the ice comes off. In connection with the ubiquitous proliferation, it becomes quite easy prey, even for novice fishermen. The spawning comes to an end near the mid-May. Since that time, he begins to hunt. And from this time begins fishing for perch in the summer.

He does not pay attention to anything and can even jump to the shore in the pursuit race. In summer, most of all perch can be found on rocky areas of the bottom with a descent into the depth or rise. Small individuals are more often hiding in ambushes, on the border with clean water, in stiff vegetation.

Experienced fishermen advise to pay more attention to deep pools and pits. It is more likely to catch a large specimen than in coastal waters. To attract fish in the second half of the summer season, you can vzmuchivat in the place of catching water. If the bottom is populated in such places with moth or other hunting objects, common for a perch, then fishing can become very successful.

By autumn, the perch begins to experience pre-winter zhor. Flocks of the individual rush on the water. They are looking for clusters of fry and small fish. Finding the same prey, they begin to indiscriminately snap everything.
