This was the scene last weekend (April 28th, 2007) of fisherman trying to snag some perch. I was standing on the Atherley Narrows Bridge in Orillia Ontario. There is a Perch Festival in Orillia. I didn't know about it until today but I was amazed at the number of boats on the lake. It was an overcast, slightly foggy morning. By the time I returned to take these pics the fog had lifted but the day was really gray. I was amused by the bright slickers against the dreary water and sky.
Here is another pic from the same location but without the zoom.

Perch?
I guess I should explain the pic! Thanks Lionel!
These are great photos that introduced me to Perch also. Have a good week!
Nice to see you again Michael!
I once went ice fishing off Beaverton (what a silly activity ice fishing is...) and caught a garbage bag full of jumbo perch. Tasty, but that's a lot of perch to clean. The perch festival is a strange phenomenon. From your photos it looks like it just gets bigger and bigger.
I never knew of the Perch festival prior to this spring and actually had no idea what was going on when I started taking the photos. They actually do not do justice to how many men were actually out there in the water within arms reach of each other. I think it must be a great excuse to get out of doing any things on the Honey Do list.
