Hi mate, i do quite a lot of trouting and during this catch a few perch. They can be caught on almost any trout lure / fly, cats whiskers, tadpoles, etc etc. Pernod Quote Link to post

Ideation 8,216 Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 Caught a lot of perch on buzzers, sometimes it's a real pin in the arse! Quote Link to post
paddy polecat 129 Posted May 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 Aye Ideation I can imagine they could be a real pain, I didnt mind catching a few though makes a change from the usual trout and I was surprised at the fight they put up, good fun on the fly rod. 1 Quote Link to post

paddy polecat 129 Posted May 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 Cheers Northern lad, cant say i have tried eating perch but a fish is a fish lol, dont think the bailiff at my local catch & release water would take a liking to me knocking one of his perch on the head to see if it tastes good lol Quote Link to post
