I'm looking for some advice for the best way to fish for perch on my local stretch on the Rother.
I've got a swim in mind that has a tree overhanging the water giving cover for chub and perch and I'm looking for advice on the best way to fish for these in winter and summer.
In winter I'm thinking of feeding maggots and fishing worm on the hook (I'm hoping both perch and chub on this bait), but is it best to fish using a quiver tip and feeder or drift the bait right under the tree branches using a float on the centre pin.
Once the weather warms up I'll be trying bread or cheese paste on the hook for chub and the worm for perch.
What are FM's thought on this? Is there a better tactic (wouldn't be surprised given my limited ability).
