Any tips on hunting perch in rivers, Im I right in guessing that they like deeper runs and snaggy areas.

The deeper areas are worth a go, but I have also had river perch in the same spots as barbel. Some right in the full flow.
Separating out the bigger fish can be difficult, for as I am sure you know, even a small perch has a huge mouth on it, and it is not afraid to use it.

My last perch was from compstall back water up near the topend over 10years ago, Ive had 2lber's from that back water.

Didn't make it today but will keep you posted with photos i hope

Best place to catch a big perch at the moment i suggest is a weirpool because most of the fry are still hanging around there.However there will be a lot of small Perch to get through.Last knockings is probably the best time

Lobworms and..........more lobworms
