Thanks Dave - I remember as a young boy catching (by net) both species of loach from The Witham when we lived in Grantham - will dig out what Mark Everard has to say about them in his Little Book of Little Fishes!

Thanks for useful ideas, will hopefully try them all.
Chris, I know you usually use a float when after perch. Do you do anything to give motion and life to the bait?
John
yes - will often twitch it or even recast - often get bites on the drop....

Shame he didn't write any more books - I feel sure Dave had MANY more stories to tell. A quick google reveals that Angling Vagabond is still widely available from all good bookshops (& Amazon!). Worth picking up a copy if you haven't read it. This is what I said about it at the time.... https://www.anglersnet.co.uk/reviews/book-and-media-reviews/angling_vagabond_dave_park/
