Fishing trip

This week (the week of July 8th) I went fishing.  This week I was off and planned to fish a bunch; instead I went once due to weather forecasts and not being able to get up some days.  It was good day to be out there.  I caught loads of fish including this 12 inch rock and many perch.  The second picture shows a perch I caught on a bloodworm fly I made. There is something satisfying about catching fish on a lure you made.  Although just before this one, I caught a perch on the hook below this one that wasn't baited at all.  That day I did catch a rock on another fly that I made, but that teaser fly has worked before.  I ended up with dinner for a few days in the form of the perch you see in the last picture.  The largest was 11", not bad. I gave arepreive to the smallest one which I put in the pond behind my house.  I guess I am trying to establish a perch source closer to home or I just fed the snakes, turtles and birds that are in that pond.
