A day ago I walked past an innercity canal and spotted a bunch of large perch lying on the canal floor hiding under some floating plants.
I was there “unarmed” so I vowed to check the place out the next day.

Off course I went back to the canal and checked the location of yesterday … no one was at home.
I then went looking for the perch at the other bank and noticed one fish on the move.
Once cast along the bank and the fly was intercepted by a hefty perch.

I came across a school of big perch further on at the canal but those fish where quite lethargic, they followed the fly within an inch but would not hit.
Pretty happy though with that one fish, a real decent pretty perch
