Tackle, baits, spots and seasons — a full guide to catching Bleak.
Read the guide →Thursday, August 6
The bite is strong — fish are active. Pressure is rising — activity tends to be more subdued.
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.
Pack transitional-season clothing — mornings and evenings are chilly.
Worth going — it's a productive day.
