Steve Aley, secretary of 'Perchfishers' group caught this fabulous 5lb 6oz perch (verified on 3 separate scales) at Wilstone on Saturday 21st November, just 5 minutes after buying a day ticket !
Thanks for the picture, Steve, and well done !
(Quote from Dick Pilkinton, who sold Steve the day ticket: "Since patrolling the ressies I have personally witnessed a number of 4lb plus perch. Mirror carp to 37lb , Tench to nearly 9lb, bream over 14lb and Pike over 20lb. People have sent me pictures of 30lb plus pike and 471/2lb carp , Tench over 12lb and 17lb bream. It must make it one of the best fisheries for the money anywhere that is open to all.")
