A stripey tiddler

Post by Ski Piit Wldie »

Just a some pictures from my last Perch trip last autumn, it was a lovely mild day with a few dragonflies still about as well as perch. I had a few little ones like this and the inevitable one that got away after a bit of a fight as the hook-hold just suddenly went in open water, a bit later when talking to my friend the club secretary for the lake he helpfully informed me " Did you know four or five days ago someone had a 3lb 9oz Perch out of that same swim you were fishing last week" I bet it wasn't as pretty as mine though, must go again soon, Mike.

Great pics. I love the reel, a rare bird indeed.
If you have no grease with you, and your rings are full of ice, do not cut out the ice with a pen-knife but get your man to put the rings one by one in his mouth, and so to thaw the ice.

You want tiddlers? 🙃 There are a lot this size in our club lakes. I got this one today, plus several not much bigger.

A fine specimen there Malcolm.
I've just realized something, the 15g on my little spinning rods butt must refer to the size of fish I will catch with it and not the optimum casting weight, Mike.
