Now we've all seen carp and bream jump and roll, trout and salmon jump, and quite a few other freshwater species too.
Am reading Chris Yates book "How to Fish" at present, and he refers to the fact Barbel jump at times but that he has never seen a perch jump.
I certainly have never seen either of those jump out of the water whether on the hook or off it. Has anyone else?
I thought barbel were bottom feeders while perch being predatory hid amongst cover so they can ambush small fish. But jumping in pursuit of their quarry?
Opinions please Guys and Gals.
