UK FISHING FOR EUROPEAN RED FIN PERCH ( Perca fluviatilis )

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
dan said he wouldnt mind taking me at some point lol. funny thing is, i got a load of gear in the garage, just havent used it for years. do it in the next few months tho, otherwise im back to swansea. dan, you catch any eels? our canal has quite a few of the b*stards (well 5 years ago anyway)
 
They look a lot like the Yellow Perch i catch here in MN.
 
Is that as big as they get?
 
I might copy your technique and see how i go down here With Redfin. I like fishing for them, only ever caught the runts though, but hoping for a big one...
 
Those are very cool looking, you should really set up a tank for them.

You can!! They're called yellow perch here in the US (Perca flavescens). I'm originally from the northeast (Clifton, NJ, Selden, NY, and Montauk, NY) and have caught these perch in just about any body of FW in both states.

I think it would be a great Idea to Organise a UK MFK fishing trip!!!

Leave it with me and the staffs and let's see what we can come up with ;)

Not everybody has transport so i think that would be a main concern, also not many people acctually fish but that dosen't really matter as i'm sure we could get a good croud together.
