colors they like can change daily so keep trying different jigs till u find one that works. When it comes to bait I myself use mealworms. break them in half an put the broke end off the end of the hook. the perch seem to like the little bits of entrails
white and a red head always for me it looks most natural and they only dont bite it when they aint biting if not yellow body red head but I get the best luck on an egg hook loaded with maggots
I'm looking to go icefishing for some perch tomorrow on shurburne reservoir east of lethbridge. Any pointers? I'm planing on just using some small flies I tied up. I know most ppl use mealworms, etc
