strange catch

Recommended Posts

hi guys, caught a small 3in. fish last night on the upper trent. the fish looked remarkably like a zander. i remember years ago we used to catch fish on the canals called a 'tommy rough'. which i think was a cross between a perch and gudgeon.

are there zander in the upper trent?

(also caught a 5lb on pellett!!)

Re: Ruffe

You do not see as many as you used to I used to regularly catch them on the Medway when ledgering maggot or worm; nowadays you rarely see them.

DavyR:

The ruffe or pope might look like a cross between the perch and gudgeon, but is a (damn nuisance) species in its own right!

You want to try removing one from a survey net after an eel has chewed it into mush and twisted it into the mesh. Ruffe spines under the thumbnail
