Yasmin Akiko Kelly from Wellington reported this 8oz Perch from Sweet Chestnut Lake, Saint Saud Lacoussiere (Dordogne, Aquitaine) on Monday 21st December 2009 at 4:00 PM.

Worm (lobworm).

Captor’s Comments:

There was thick ice on almost the whole lake and lots of snow. I found some clear water by the stream, that feeds the lake, and fished maggots with my float. Nothing happened, but as I sat on the snow a big worm crawled on to my mitten, so I put it on the hook. Straight away the float went under and I caught my first fish, a perch of 8oz, It was very exciting!
