When to fish european perch in Estonia

• Spring 3–12 ft — Spawns over shallow weeds and drowned wood — find the school and stay on it.
• Summer 8–28 ft — Schools slide to soft-bottom flats and deep weedlines as water warms.
• Fall 10–33 ft — Jumbo perch pod up on deep basin flats feeding on invertebrates and fry.
• Winter 12–33 ft — A prime ice-fishing target — deep mud flats and humps, small jigs.
