A Bit of Fun - Rudd Fishing

We didn't head to Horseshoe to fish for Rudd but as this big shoal of fish moved in front of the swim it was hard to ignore them!

We setup a make shift float rod from a spod rod and made a float from a 10mm pop-up which worked a treat.

This is what angling is all about, having fun and catching a few fish!!!

i court a fish with redfins its not a perch or roach but looks like this rudd fish , but this fishis the same but has red eyes just wondering do the rudd have red eyes as well as redfins when they are babys? cos the one i got was a 1LB im just trying to find the right species of fish to put my mind at rest. oh and i court it in a small lake . Thanks

@TheCheese30 Sounds like it could have been a Rudd. If it was a 1lb Rudd that's not a bad one...

Nice fish mate. Take your Nidd tackle next time and get em on the fly.

@lofty1963 I always plan on taking the fly rod but the car just gets so full of Carp gear there's hardly room for the driver...

Great stuff - I remember catching rudd like that from the wee pond in the park when I was a young'un. Can't beat it :). Makes me wish i'd started fly fishing earlier as I bet they'd have been great sport. Mind you, I'll be trying my 6ft brook rod out on the roach at the canal this summer, which could be a laugh :P.
