The most prolific types of fish are Rudd, Roach, Bream and Tench. Rudd and Roach can be caught on simple float fishing tactics with maggots, caster or bread baits. Bream and Tench can be caught fishing on the bottom with either floats at close range or feeder/leger a bit further out. Pike and Carp are present at a low stock level and are tricky to catch requiring a dedicated specialist approach.
