Perch Serch :-)

Daisy and I had another trip to our local pond this week, seeing if there were any Perch about given how cold its been getting. Using my LRF rod and Daisys princess rod we managed to winkle out a couple small ones, and this rather nice stripey of about half a pound or so I'm guessing.  Was great fun and Daisy loved it.

Oddly, despite the cold, we saw about a dozen large carp lying just under the surface in a couple spots on the pond, even though there wasn't any sunlight and it was overcast. Ive never seen that on a winters day before.

Daisys first Perch

Daisy wanted to come fishing with me again, so armed with her disney princess rod, we went after some perch. She was very happy indeed :-)
She was brilliant and actually sat and fished with me for 3 hours, feeding the carp on the surface and dropping in loose feed for the perch. Darn good for a 4 year old !

She loved all the flowers and the wildlife too  :-)

Daisys First fishing trip!

Made a visit to a garden centre that also had a fishing section, and looking around, my little girl spotted the pink Disney princess fishing rod set. So one 'discussion' later and I ended up buying it.
The following Saturday we made a trip to the local pond, and Daisy fished for the first time. We kept it super simple, with a single red plastic maggot in the margins hoping for a little roach.
She loved it, and hasn't stopped talking about it.

We didn't catch, but that hasn't dampened her enthusiasm to go again!
