So we had our first outing yesterday since my arrival in Denmark. Who turned the heater on? It was so warm! :) Not that I am complaining, as Vancouver was experiencing some serious snowfall with sub-zero temperature when I left. :?
Anyways, I connected with my first european perch on the fly yesterday. It wasn't too feisty on the 6wt but I was pretty excited nevertheless. Firsts on the fly always are.
Basically, I tied up (or attempted to) some #2 flashy streamers the day before I flew over.

My fish from yesterday.
I've read the article available on GFF a few times. It is a great read. What are your favorite flies for european perch and what technique have you used successfully while targeting them? 😉
Take care all. :)
