A two-minute walk puts you in legendary bream swims that can be exclusively reserved. Bream here aren't shy, so there's no need to fish lightly. Feeder fishing is the most successful method, along with float fishing, which can be great fun once the fish have moved into the swims. With so many bream, the action can be fast and furious.
Roach, perch, and hybrids are prolific. Catches of 70 pounds can be taken without putting a bream in your net, double that in May and June.
Perch are the one coarse fish that can be eaten. Delicious fried in butter with two slices of bacon! They are caught on a worm from the bank or the bridge at Belle Isle and on a calm summer's evening they can prove easily caught. An ideal fish for children or beginners.
