The perch is one of those fish we all know and love. It is often the first fish an angler catches and quite often, having spent years in the pursuit of the more fashionable species, a fish that same angler will return to. The simplicity of sitting on the bank watching that first quiver of your float as a perch stalks your worm sets off a feeling deep within most anglers. It seems odd then that a fish so loved by so many has had comparatively little writing dedicated to it. What writing it is though! The list below, though small in number, contains some of the best angling books you will ever read.
