Im from Norway, and i have been specimen angling for about 8 years now. I have loved fishing since i was a little kid, but for 8 years ago i got a kick, and its still going on. These days im mostly into perch fishing here in Norway. I have decided to only fish for perch form now on because this is my favorite fish. I have got a lot of nice perch, but im very hungry for the 2 kg (4,4 lb) limit. It seems hard to get here in Norway. About 0-2 perch is coming up in Norway each year by anglers. My biggest perch i caught march 2007 when i was icefishing with live roach in a small lake far out in the woods where most of our biggest perch live, and it weighed 1950 g (4,3 lb). These days i have a family, and fulltime work, so my fishing time is limited, but once a week im out fishing.

 

I have read som articles in this site, and i love them. I still have much to learn, and i think its fantastic to see how skilled you English anglers are.

 

My English isnt the best , but luckily we had English lessons at school, but thats 20 years ago... Then this might be a good place to learn English a little better.

 

 

I also have a blog http://jorgenspecimen.blogspot.no/ and i write about once a week. You probably dont understand a word of my language so a translater wood be to prefere ;-)

Hello Jorgen, and welcome to Anglers Net.

 

We have a few ardent perch fishers on here, so it will be interesting to see if the techniques differ between countries :)

Ok, nice.:-) I think there will be a bit differense, particulary because theres no angling pressure here in Norway compared to England. And i think we got some very good techniques when it comes to icefishing. I wintertime we mostly fish for perch, pike, arctic char and burbot :-)

When there is no ice, do you usually fish from a boat or from the bank?

I fish most from the Banks, but i love boatfishing too. Espesially in the autumn when the big perch go wild in our bigger lakes. I have 14 feet boat. But now im fishing mostly from the bank in som small lakes in the forest. The biggest perches we catch in Norway, normally comes up in small lakes in the forest where there is a lot of small roach for the perch to eat. Some of the perches in this lakes grow really big. They also look very beautiful, dark colours and blood red fins. Often with a rough physique. I love them, but there are only a few of them in these lakes, an they are really hard to get:) There are very often a very long walk trough the forest to get to the water så boatfishing is not applicable.

Small lakes that are hard to reach - for me, fishing did not get any better than that. :D

 

These days I'm a bit lazy so it's mostly boat fishing. Most of the forum members live in the UK though so bank fishing is much more common for them and the country is so civilized that remote lakes in the woods are very rare.
