what size perch ? All my success with decent sized perch has come with broken lob worm fished against the reeds towards dusk. Can A fly simulate that ?

i'd also like to hear peoples thoughts on venues for fly fishing in and around cities
i live in manchester .... lots of coarse fishing available, but not all with wide open spaces for fly casting from the bank ..... does that make fly fishing for either trout or coarse fish, not such a good idea unless i'm able to travel further afield?
