My first Jungle Perch

Went for a fish down at Alva today with Ward. Considering the slack tide we had a pretty good morning. I managed a half dozen fish, biggest being 50cm. Ward managed a few on fly, including a nice one at about 45cm. We also had a big of fun on some small GT that moved through the channel at one stage. But they were small!

On the way home we hit the fresh. It was cold and we didn't expect much. But I did manage one Sootie, one small Barra and my very first JP! I was most impressed. The fish was at least 35cm long. Unfortunately Ward was fishing a fair distance away, so I only got a few pics of her on the rocks.
