Where to Find Perch
This map shows global perch observations, highlighting the continents, countries, and waters where this species thrives.
Fly fishing for perch is a popular pursuit worldwide. From the US to Scandinavia, anglers employ diverse techniques—surface poppers, sinking lines from belly boats, and more—to target these aggressive little predators.
While the best approach varies depending on water conditions and temperature, here are some general tips: Perch are active hunters (unlike ambush predators like pike) and often congregate near underwater structures. Focus on areas with poles, bends, jetties, or fallen trees. Don’t hesitate to strip your fly quickly—if a perch spots it, it will chase it down.

Where to Find Brook Trout
This map shows global observations of brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis), highlighting the continents, countries, and waters where this species thrives.
Prime Fly Fishing Locations
Native to Eastern North America, brook trout inhabit rivers, lakes, and streams across Canada and the United States. They’ve also been introduced to parts of Europe and Asia, including Iceland and Scandinavia.
In the U.S., the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic states—particularly Pennsylvania, New York, and Vermont—offer exceptional brook trout fishing. Notable spots include:
- Au Sable River (Michigan)
- Rapid River (Maine)
- Shavers Fork River (West Virginia)
Internationally, renowned destinations include Norway’s Alta River and Iceland’s Laxá í Adaldal River.
Fly Fishing Techniques
- Fall (Spawning Season): Brook trout become aggressive, making streamer fishing highly effective.
- Spring (Post-Hatch): After eggs hatch, young trout (fry) feed heavily on small insects—nymphing works best.
- Summer: Early mornings and late evenings are ideal for dry fly fishing, as brook trout often surface-feed.
Best Flies for Brook Trout
Match your fly selection to local insect hatches. Popular choices (also effective for brown trout, grayling, and rainbow trout) include:
- Adams: A versatile dry fly imitating various insects.
- Elk Hair Caddis: Mimics caddisflies, a brook trout staple.
- Pheasant Tail Nymph: Ideal for mayfly nymph imitations.
- Woolly Bugger: A streamer mimicking leeches or small fish.
