Fishing Techniques

• For Common rudd

  Rudd often feed near the surface, so try using a float or fishing without weights to present your bait naturally.

• For Common carp

  Pre-bait the area with a similar bait you plan to fish with to attract carp and increase your chances.

• For Rainbow trout

  Vary your retrieve speed when using spinners to find what triggers a strike; sometimes a slow, steady retrieve works best, while other times a faster, erratic retrieve is more effective.
