perch fishing

Freshwater striped quarry

Perch fishing is angling specifically for perch—small to medium freshwater fish prized by recreational fishers for their abundance and mild, flaky meat.

Yellow perch in North America and European perch are the primary targets.

The fish often school in shallow waters, making perch fishing a popular introduction to the sport: We took the kids perch fishing off the dock.
