I have been fishing Lake Anna for 30 years but really just started using the fly rod this June. I was trying to catch crappie and for the first time I have been catching dozens of white perch!! I have been using a small white or chartruse streamer I tie on a size 8 jig (cap spider) hook, and they like it stripped FAST. Most are small, 4", with a few larger fish, up to 6". So, any tips on catching the bigger ones? How are these for eating? Lotta fun on my 3wt. Funny how changing to a fly rod enabled me to catch a new species I had never caught in 30 years of chucking bait.
