Perch in Strange Places

After a series of unfortunate incidences I ended up diving at Ellerton water park with my eldest daughter today. The visibility was rubbish, the bottom mostly silty and very weedy and the day would have been wasted if not for the resident perch. As I've mentioned before they grow very large in this particular lake but today they ranged from clouds of fry up to around a pound. It was interesting to watch a small group of cannibal larger fish lounging in close proximity to the fry. They both seemed almost indifferent of the other until they drifted too close then it was back to business as usual. A little later we came across one of the lakes scenic additions in the form of a rusting car which turned out to be full of perch.
