Fishing Techniques
- For Tench
Pre-baiting your swim with particles like hemp or corn can significantly improve your chances of attracting tench and holding them in your fishing area.
- For Common barbel
Use a swimfeeder with groundbait matching your hookbait to create a scent trail.
- For Common rudd
Rudd often feed near the surface, so try using a float or fishing without weights to present your bait naturally.
