Bream use demersal animals as nutriment. You should sink your bait to the bottom when you are angling for bream. It is effective to use allurement baits after spawning. Bream bites very lightly and therefore it's not as easy to notice the biting as with other fish.

Angling season begins early in spring and ends when lakes freeze. The best seasons to angle bream are before and after spawning. Mornings and evenings are the best bream angling times.
You only need a primitive hook and some line as well as a rod for angling. You can find these from nearly on all cottages. You have a better chance of catching fish with competition angling tackles if fish aren't biting very well.Angling Bream
