Fish

If it is current to say that the Bleak is fished on the surface, it is however not rare to rather find it between two water, to see even at the bottom. It is in particular the case in wintry time. They are found then in test rigs and close to the content.
Only a quite sunny day will make that the Bleak will go up towards surface.
At the time of a fishing party you will as pay great attention to the post as you will choose. Indeed the Bleak is very being wary especially when water is very clear. If it detects the least

movement, it will set out again in a place more making safe for it.
Once found the good post, and after your installation, the question of the priming arises. Remember of winters, the Bleak is rather at the bottom, the summer it goes up towards surface. Then the starter to be used is not the same one. Either you will have to put a work a starter which works on the surface, or you will choose a starter with heavy products such as clays or grounds of color. According to the depth of the blow you will have to compose a mixture which works with the desired depth.
The color of water must direct you towards the choice of the most effective color of the starter. Thus, and it is there a rule followed by many specialists in these fisheries, plus water is limpid plus the starter is brown and on the contrary more water is charged plus the starter must have a clear color.

A fine starter of surface will thus make the deal and you will be able more or less to cut it with a heavier starter, while paying attention to filter the unit to have an even granulometry. With or without oppressive product, the use of some pinches of little to support a fast start of your fisheries.

The bleak is fished with the blow with a line of 6/100 equipped with a hook of 24 (See 26). Leaded grouped to a few 10 cm of the hook allows a fast casting the depth of search. To employ the worms of vase or the small maggot (), and why not the bread crumb.
Not to forget that a blow must be maintained and thus that it is advisable to recall to each launched. With a pellet of starter of the size of a nut a more little tumble if the keys become slower, you will keep the Bleak on your blow.

Some like to sin it with the fly with a borer of 2,. They use a floating silk of 8, a bottom of line with fly 7X and a hook of 18 flanked of a dry or embedded fly.
