Lakes
Depending on the size of lake, bream can be found in huge schools. Obviously the larger the lake, the larger the school. Fishing for bream on large lakes and reservoirs is extremely popular as if a school is found you can be catching for hours.
To ensure that bream are attracted to your swim make sure you feed in lots and lots of groundbait. If possible feed your swim with a massive amount of groundbait 12-24 hours before fishing (mark your swim with a rod rest to ensure no one pinches your spot!). To catch bream simply float fish or use a ledger to place your bait on the lake bed. Popular baits when fishing for bream on lakes include maggots, casters, sweetcorn, and worms.
Rivers
Bream are a very popular fish amoung river fishermen even though they are not as powerful and strong as other river species. Rivers are a perfect spot if you are looking to catch bream, as there is lots of plant life and miles upon miles of muddy river bottom!
Bream tend to move up and down the river travelling and feeding in schools. If you want to catch a river bream try using sweetcorn, maggots, casters, or worms. Don't forget to feed your swim slightly upstream (depending on the current) in order to attract a bream school as they pass.
