Question

[Jeff S]

I'm not sure Bleak are present but I've caught Pike, Perch, Chub, and Trout on the river. Pike and Perch in the canal, and only pike in the lakes that are covered in my local piscatorial area. There is a small lake or pond about two minutes away that has some really nice Tench and carp and I'm sure it has other species as well. I think we'll start there, then try other venues just to see.

 

I've got a few pictures of Pike using one of those instant underwater cameras. I'm interested to see how they turn out. Might make an interesting Avatar??

Bleak are like mini-dace.

The Victorians used to breed them [I think] and use their scales for making fake pearls.

Yes I know what you mean about the Bleak being great for the kids.

 

I took my son and daughter, aged 7 and 9, one afternoon, and they had over 100 in 90 minutes between them . I just did the unhooking.
