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 Northern pike

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

• For Common rudd

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