Aloha. This reminded me of being a kid in Ohio. Our neighbors across the road raised cows. They had a small pond that nobody fished, not the kids or the parents. I would literally knock on their door with my zepco outfit, a bucket and tackle box and ask the Smiths if I could fish. They always said yes, and I’d traipse down the dirt track. Loaded with big bluegill, sunfish,shellcrackers, plus some bass. I’d use worms, crickets, grasshoppers and any else for bait. Just a hook, bobber, and split shot. Beautiful days, and some good fried panfish.

[@adventurefishinguk]

Really cool to hear, I bet there’s so many ponds and lakes like this in the US. I’d absolutely love to fish and travel there one day!

What a treat to fish a virgin water - extremely rare. Does anyone remember Mr Crabtree who used to advise on fishing techniques in the 1960s 70s? He used to talk about the angler keeping low to avoid their shadow falling on the water .... I think he would have seriously disapproved of wearing a bright red fleece!

[@adventurefishinguk]

A big treat! That's a little before my time I think!

[@misdit]

@@adventurefishinguk I thought it probably is but .... fish can still see just as well as they did then. Captivating comic strip style book, published, I think, by The Mirror group ( newspapers, not carp!) A compelling read for a fishing mad lad in the late 1960s.

[@jakobrosenqvist4691]

If you are going for skittish fish like pike, trout or whitefish this can be very important, but here we are talking about perch, these things will hide under your boat while fishing from it and attack lures larger than they are.

As a boy in a Oxfordshire there was a local small stately home, it had two small lakes, as a 13 yr old I wrote to the owner asking permission, and she allowed four people a year permission, there were lots of Roach medium size carp, and Tench, we never thought there were predators, on an impulse we put a lure on and the result were two Perch over 4 Lbs

We had a pond that was researched by the ministry and they said it was over crowded by perch and sunfish. They recommended stocking with Bass or Pike, so I went to the lake and ordered some 2-3 pound pike and a few years later my brother-in-law swore he hooked one, about 18 pounds but he broke his 10 pound test line.

I used to fish a lot in Sweden when I was younger. Quite often, I fished in small lakes. There is a phenomenon that directly translated would be "a lake of thousand brothers". It means that the lake lacks big perch, but there are very many small ones. There also exists the contrary, small lakes with just a few, but very big perch. I think it has to do with food resources, a small lake can either sustain a big population of small perch or a few big perch.

The lakes I grew up around in NJ USA had so many perch the would boil the surface of the water, you'd just have to throw a hook in the middle to catch a limit.

[@SirBeauJangles]

Jack Hargreaves fished a farmers pond and found a similar situation, but not with perch. He caught small roach after - small roach after…. And eventually concluded that they’d reached the terminal size that the water could feed. You end up with a pond of half starved dwarves. The biomass of a water gives the likely tonnage of life supportable in the place and sometimes a water is found where its characteristics favour successful breeding over successful food generation. Result is a population of starving pygmy fish.

In lakes like that there are almost always a few absolute units. But they can be quite tricky to catch, my best method has been a floater with a piece of a smaller perch thrown out and reeled in incredibly slowly across the lake. Give it a go and I think you will have results.

Don't be too quick to judge. Fauna reproduces in cycles so a population explosion then decline is normal. Those waters are large enough to hold decent fish numbers. I expect there to be Rudd and possibly crucians. Perch will feed on fry and grow large.

Most of the time there is not much in an untouched pond, if left unchecked one species can take over by robbing nests and eventually be the only fish in there, then become overpopulated and they are all small.
