Fishing guide

Common Bream (Abramis Brama) is a species of freshwater gamefish belonging to the Carp family that is commonly spread throughout Europe, generally inhabiting lakes, ponds and slow-moving rivers with plenty of vegetation and muddy bottoms. Distinguished by their flat and high-backed bodies, Bream are usually silvery grey or bronze in color with dark grey fins. Common Bream usually grows to 30-55 cm in length, weighing on average 1 to 3 kg, but it’s quite possible to catch a unique specimen of up to 5 kg. These fish live in schools near the bottom, and tend to come closer to shore at night time to feed on larvae, worms, insects and plankton.

When it comes to float, feeder, or bottom fishing, the best way to catch Common Bream would be to use Bloodworms on a size #4 hook.
