Some beautiful water and nice looking fish. I love the red eyes on one of them. Beautiful!

Perch are probably my favourite fish. I just love the attiude they have ... especially when you get a decent sized one. The dorsal fin gets raised up ... almost like puffing up your chest! The colours (especially from rivers) are so bright. They can grow to about 6lbs (in the UK ... probably bigger elsewhere) and are highly efficient predators (same family as bass). I love fishing for them on lures and spinners and am planning on going after them next season with a fly rod. I'll be using clousers, mickey finns, woolly buggers, etc.

Thanks for the kind comments guys.

Martin: I'm pretty sure there are trout, too.. I made a short visit to the upper regions of the stream and it looked quite trouty.

Brk Trt: Perch do occasionally rise to dries but I've noticed that most of the time they seem to prefer subsurface flies.

Lawrence, Perch are my favorite fish, too. It's the most widespread fish species here and they can be found in just about every lake, pond and river. And the attitude.. no wonder Perch is the national fish of Finland.

Pekka,
Great pics.
In my area, it is too hot in summer for trout fishing and I wish we had perch or panfishes or any warm water fish that take flies.
