ROYAL PAIR OF PERCH ON LOBWORMS

The classic approach of floatfishing lobworms for perch paid off in fine style for Malcom Matthews, who slipped the net under this couple of beauties.

The pair weighed in at 2lb 9oz and 2lb 11oz, and were taken from the famous Royalty Fishery on the lower reaches of the Hampshire Avon. 

Speaking to Angling Times, the Sutton Coldfield-based angler said: “The colours of these perch were really superb, and what a place to catch them!”
