Bush

As a river in Alba / Scotland, United Kingdom, Bush fishes best when the flow is steady and the water is clear enough to see a foot or two down. Anglers who do well at Bush pay attention to small things: the angle of the current, the colour of the water, what's hatching, where the wading birds are working. Fly anglers can match local insect activity; spin anglers can run small spinners or soft plastics through the same lies.

Fishing Techniques

• For Atlantic mackerel

  When mackerel are feeding deep, try using a weighted lure or rig to get your bait down to them quickly. Also, chumming with fish scraps can attract schools.

• For Yellowfin tuna

  When trolling for Yellowfin, vary your speed and distance from other boats to find what the fish are keying on.

• For Northern pike

  Vary your retrieval speed and add pauses to entice strikes, especially in colder water.
