That is what they still are called here too, perch. Although sometimes when I was a kid if they were brightly colored in spawning colors they were called "sunfish" by my older brothers, not realizing the difference between male/female and seasonal differences.
The most fun from my pond so far has been the learning process first, feeding and observing the fish second, and fishing third.
