Rainbow Perch

Just a quick update with a few things, I popped out today for a couple of hours trying for some perch. I was getting allot of nips but nothing was really sticking, I suspected it was a shoal of really small perch or just aggressive silver fish as they do sometimes nip at lures. I tried scaling down from a 2" Kopyto to a 1" kopyto along with other tiny lures but that resulted in no action at all so i thought at least i could plug away with the 2" kopyto and eventually hook one of the little beggers! It was slow going but i did manage a few along with this unusual perch that had no stripes and a rainbow trout like colouring, Ive caught them like this before. Shame we don't get bigger ones like it as its interesting having a variation.

 

On the building front, i have just finished a batch of snap beans, photos of which are below. I have also been tinkering with a few other things and have been getting into rod building, more of this to follow soon.
