| Re: Unidentified perch-type fish in France! Many thanks for that John. I've just done some more googling and it would appear to be a sunfish of which a pumpkinseed fish is one type. I can't find an exact match but all the varieties look really similar, but they seem to mainly in N America. Another one to tick off the list! Cheers |

| Re: Unidentified perch-type fish in France! Me agree's, a pumpkinseed, I understand there is some colour differnces between males and females. I also was once told that there are some in Tanyards Fisheries, in Sussex, but that was some time ago, about 14years. |

| Re: Unidentified perch-type fish in France! What made it different from being a Perch??? If it was the same size of a Perch, it could have been a baby Pumpkinseed. They grow quite big! |
