Perch - Ice fishing in Finland

Perch is the most popular ice fishing fish. There are a lot of perch in all waters.

You should search for perch systematically. You should begin ice fishing near a shore. It is not useful to jigg from the same hole for longer than one or two minutes if you do not catch any perch in this time. You should drill the next hole about 5 - 10 metres away, further away from the shore. Once you find a perch swarm you should jigg on the same hole for as long as you catch perch. You should drill the next hole to the same depth where you caught perch before. Old holes in the ice give you a good tip on where to find the right ice fishing places.

Perch are found in deep water in early winter. Later in winter they come into lower water.The best ice fishing season for perch begins in spring when the snow melts and lighting under the ice improves.

Morning is the best time for perch ice fishing but also the afternoon is quite good. Noon is not usually a good time for ice fishing.

Light ice fishing tackles are enough for perch ice fishing.
