Rudd Fishing
|
|
 |
 |
|
Rudd are one of the most
beautiful fish, with their bright buttery golden flanks. They will feed
all day, even in the height of summer. The upturned mouth gives away
their preference for feeding in the upper layers of the water.
|
They are often found close
to the lines of reeds, feeding on the surface on natural baits like
flies and nymphs. For the anglers, this means fishing with a floating
or a slowly sinking bait. Casters are perfect and should be fished on
a size 18 hook and 3lb line.

A simple float setup with
no shot down the line is the method. The bait sinks slowly and looks
like loose-fed casters.
|
The great thing about
Rudd like this cracking two pounder is that they are aggressive and
you don’t need ultra-light tackle. Let’s put him back.
