    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....

    Many, MANY moons ago I took my bruv fishing on a local lake - acting on some intelligence we were both after perch - he ledgered out in the middle and every minute gave the reel handle a single turn and slowly twitched the bait back to the bank - I thought he was nuts, but he caught way more than I did that day (and lost a few rigs!!!).

    A few hours out yesterday.....

    I've had some great sessions since new years day, lots of nice chub, barbel, roach and dace etc, just can't load the pics on here, so pointless carrying on with this thread 👍.

    Start a blog Tigger 😀 - you cam upload pics to that (though they'll need to be re-sized.....)

    Agree with Peter - have many more scales (circa60) on the lateral line than roach, chub, dace etc...A problem with Ide is that they are quite fecund and hybridise easily with other cyprinids - I used to have access to a bit of the Kennet where some ide/orfe had been illegally released and it used to throw up all sorts of odd looking chub, roach and bream. If you are fishing where ide have been stocked with other cyprinids for any liength of time - you may catch hybrids which will make ID a little more problematic!
