Flyfishing for perch

The forums are very quiet

The Global FlyFisher forum has existed for almost as long as the site, and the oldest posts are more than 20 years old. Forums aren't what they used to be. Social media has taken over a lot of their roles, and the GFF forum is very quiet ... to put it mildly.
We keep everything online for the sake of history, and preserve the posts for as long as possible, but as you will see, quite a few of them aren't in a good shape, but rely on old images hosted elsewhere, which are no longer available, odd codes from old systems and much more, which can't be shown in a decent way.
But the posts are here, and you can - if you insist - start new threads and reply to old ones. But don't stay awake waiting for replies, because they are unfortunately few and far apart.

Fly fishing - Fish Better

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 choice of weapon.


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. :)

… I have a small favor to ask.

Long story short

Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
