The Romanian C&R Angling Association kicked off their Perch League 2023 this Sunday gone and twenty four eager perch anglers signed up to take part over the course of the seven legs. For this round, the anglers headed to the midlands and the River Inny in search of their perch.

Water levels were good and expectations were high amongst the competing anglers, despite a blustery wind that made fishing light a tricky task. First casts were made at 9am and, with the scoring based on the sum of total length of each angler’s best five perch, anglers hit the water in hope of landing those five good fish.

Ben Moore came out top of the field on the day with 134cm and he goes into round 2 in the lead. Following close behind was Tomasz Narolski on 133cm and David Dennis on 125cm. Longest fish on the day was 32cm, also caught by Tomasz.

The event will resume after the perch have spawned and we’ll keep you up to date on how the league shapes up in the coming months.

Please fish in a sustainable manner
