{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: White perch

Definitely noticed a spike in white perch. I mostly fish Dyke Marsh to Hog Island and in the past two weeks have caught an unusually high number. One day, on the bottom of an outgoing tide, I caught at least 20. I hooked into half as many more that tossed the hook before they got to the boat. Whatever feeds on them is going to have a good Spring.

Hello -- I've been fishing the local haunts recently and have seen a little of the usual suspects I see this time of year, but it seems to be on a 2-week delay versus last year at the same time as far as which species are active, and which are spawning, etc.  

I generally get one or two white perch here and there while casting for other stuff, but I had them hitting left and right in a couple of spots the other day.  

Aside from cut-up hands, they're kind of interesting to catch.....seem to follow flies right up to your legs and still elect to hit the fly some of the time, making them the Anti-Snakehead.   

Anyone else getting these little suckers more than usual this year?  They're mixed in with a few stripers, crappie, and yellow perch too.  

I'm sad to say that I've been unable to interest the few carp I've casted to this season.  A total, humbling failure!  Oh well, fishing beats not fishing.
