Everyone recognizes this little fella I'll wager. Yup, yer right if you said Yellow Perch folks. The whole Rideau system has a fairly decent population of them still, by the looks of to-days action at least. They LOVE little (1/32 oz) jigs with just a sliver of plastic for a body, no curly-tail. ;-)
