Perch quite demanding to oxygen in water, so they prefer lakes and rivers with ample clean water. All season perch-Tavanic holds close to the shore, hiding in the vegetation. The humpback prefers deep waters, but in some periods actively visited shallow coastal waters. Large can be called a specimen weighing 350 grams or above. (2-2,5-pound giants are still a rarity). Not every fisherman has the good fortune to catch one of those bass-giant.
Perch. Spawning
As soon as the water in the reservoir reaches 7-8 degrees, female bass begin to spawn (usually April in the southern regions, and may-early June in Northern regions).

The caviar is placed thick strips with a length of about 1-1. 5 meters, in the cells where the eggs are inserted with a diameter of about 3 mm. Masonry attached to the driftwood, trunks of reeds and other aquatic plants.
Sexual maturity of females perch travarica occurs in the fourth year. Females perch-Humpbacks are ready to spawning for the fifth year. Perch spawn at depths from half a meter to 4 meters. To do this, they flock together. Characteristic is the fact that the larger the bass, the deeper it goes to spawn. Perch are very careful and sensitive fish. Any attempt to approach him, he immediately goes in depth.
Perch. Where to catch.
Immediately after spawning, the perch bite is weak. Reflex save offspring, apparently, overcomes the feeling of hunger. But gradually it gathers in flocks and begins to feed. During this period, the perch goes on the larvae of bark beetle, maggot, various worms, bloodworms, larva burdock moth, etc., In that a feeding of the places you plan to catch perch. He takes so well to the beginning of June. Then the pack start to drop in the deeper locations and large perch successfully can only be fished from a boat. Perch-trajanic still holds to the shore, dams, sluices, dams and bridge piers, where much is all fish stuff.
