Perch Haul Signals Record Day at Highlands Reservoir
The Highlands Reservoir yields a surge in white perch catches led by Froggy Robinson who reports 24 perch weighing 11 pounds. Other crews report big hauls with 40 perch in a single outing, many caught before dark, all using live minnows. Stocking by the State Game and Fish Commission appears to be helping the population. Also, anglers remark on darker perch colors after stocking and document trout outings at Offats Bayou and the Colorado River with 14 fish weighing 23 pounds. Six flags have flown over Texas.
