There are large shoals of Perch in both lochs demonstrated by echo soundings and anglers returns. Catching them in numbers is dependent on hitting a shoal and any of the trout methods should bring results. The most productive method however is feeding maggots once a shoal is located and this can lead to excellent bags of Perch.
Fish finders are a useful addition to your armoury when trying to locate a shoal, and Perch of around the 1lb mark are commonplace when a shoal is located.
For more information on how to catch this most attractive fish click here. Please return any unwanted Perch UNHARMED.
