Perca flavescens. This is the most widely distributed member of the
 Percidae. It provides fine fishing for the multitudes of anglers seeking
 fast action and good eating ... if that floats your boat *S*
 Not renowned for its fighting qualities, the perch makes up for this 
 in numbers and appetite. My biggest Baars as we call it in Dutch
 measured exactly 18 inches ... a trophy fish ! It fell to an "Alexandra"
 the wet fly to go after this species.
