Tackle, baits, spots and seasons — a full guide to catching Bleak.
Read the guide →Wednesday, August 5
The bite is strong — fish are active. A thunderstorm is possible: activity rises before the front and drops after.
Best time — 11:00–16:00 (daytime activity).
Pick a stretch of steady current, chum one spot and fish it — don't move around without reason.
Today's bait — maggot or small hook with dough bait. In cold or murky water, add scent to your chum.
No special gear needed — seasonal clothing will do. A thunderstorm is possible — bring a rain jacket, and pack up at the first rumble of thunder.
Worth going — it's a productive day.
