Finding the Perch 14.10.22

Last year about this time I came across a small shoal of 2lb perch in a local stretch of River Thames, and caught 3 of them. Then I'm not sure if they moved elsewhere or were less happy to feed with the colder weather, but I didn't have any more. So today I went to see if they were back. Yes, just about! After a dead hour or so on lobworm I put on a couple of maggots to see where the prey fish had gone to, and on my first cast the tip bent round, and I'm sure it was a big perch. But it soon shed my barbless 18 hook. I continued with maggot for a bit, but always it was small fry, so I returned to lobworm. They were very finnicky, but I got one of 1.5lbs, a long, slender and lovely fish. So I'll be back in the hope of some 'twos'.
