Small stream fly fishing for perch.

[Pekka]

With the new forum rules, I feel like I should contribute something instead of just lurking.

I've noticed that most of the members fish for trout, here's something a little different.
They're European Perch, from a couple of small streams nearby.
I also discovered some trout streams in my area by the end of 2009 season. I'm going to explore them next summer.









Here's a small lake/pond. The stream begins from the lower right corner of the photo.


This is a Roach, caught from the pond.

Ah Pekka! I have missed seeing your posts on the Ultra Light forum. It's good seeing you here, your pictures are always cool.

Nice pics. I'm very familiar with the kind of pike and perch type of water you're talking about. I have fished lot of streams just like that in southern Sweden and Denmark.
Are there no trout at all in that stream in the pictures?

Cheers

Nice report.

The photos are beautiful.

Do the perch rise to the flies?


Thanks for posting,

Beautiful. I can imagine I'm right there. We have some places very much like that here in Western Virginia. I recently retired and moved to Warm Springs, VA from Seattle and the warm water fishing is as much fun for me as the cold stream trout fishing.
