Welcome to the official website of The Perchfishers Group. We
are a relatively small, select, group of specimen hunters who currently have 50
plus members. Some of our more famous current members
include John Wilson (President), Fred J Taylor,
Bob James and Archie
Braddock.
Our aim is to further the knowledge of Perch as a species
including the methods and locations for its capture, with special emphasis on
large specimens. We do this by the sharing of knowledge and by fishing in a true
spirit of sportsmanship and friendship with all other members of the
Perchfishers.
Despite
our apparently small membership, we have recorded a number of successes over the
years, including the publication of the Book Of The Perch and a substantial four
figure sum being donated to the Anglers
Conservation Association.
We produce a magazine called The Perchfisher,
which is currently issued twice a year, and issue regular newsletters to our
members. Other benefits of membership include
an Annual General Meeting with guest speakers and fish-ins which are generally arranged on restricted waters.
The Perchfishers are small in
number because we choose to be. Once a member
current annual subscriptions are £20.00, there is also an initial £2.00
joining fee. The group is open
to all experienced anglers who are able to contribute something to the group as
a whole, usually by way of writing an article for the magazine, attending a
pre-arranged get-together (neither are as nerve-racking as they sound), or simply by
reporting to the Records Officer any perch that you catch over 2lb.
There
is little red tape but there is the only one bit of formality in the group - the
application. It is a requirement that an application form be completed, which is
then considered by the current committee. If you are interested in Perch fishing
and would like to find out more about The Perchfishers then please feel free to
telephone the Secretary, Steve Richards, on 01462 480353 and mention that you
saw our details on this website.
Further information can also be
obtained from Kevin Ball
our Magazine Editor and Website Administrator.
