Fishing guide Tom Hammond is all smiles after tempting this belting 4lb perch using fly fishing tactics.

The Gloucester based angler heads up the predator fishing trips for guiding service Midlands Fly Fishing and took the big stripey plus several more quality fish at a 100-acre venue they use regularly after spotting a shoal of them attacking fry.
