About Grafham Water
Tucked into England, United Kingdom, Grafham Water is a reservoir that fishes differently season to season. Spring brings fish into the shallows to spawn or feed on early baitfish; midsummer pushes them to cooler, deeper water; autumn turns them aggressive again as they pack on weight before winter. Anglers planning a trip to Grafham Water should check water temperature and recent weather — a sudden cold front can shut a reservoir like this down for a day.

Fishing Techniques
- For Zander
Use a slow retrieve with occasional pauses to allow the lure to sink and trigger strikes from zander lying on the bottom.
- For Common bream
Bream are often bottom feeders, so use a bait that presents well on the lake or riverbed, and pre-bait the area you plan to fish.
- 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.
