I have always want to catch bleak, I don't know why, but it's not the type of fish we get up in Scotland, where would one head to get in amongst a decent shoal!
Bleak Fishing

Caught a fair few in the trent back in the day. Not sure if theyre still around. Nuisance fish though.
I don't know anything about bleak. But I know what you mean about wanting to catch a specific fish. I Fly-Fish for trout, rainbows mainly, but I have always wanted to catch a Grayling but I don't know why either.
Good luck catching one

I used to fish quite a lot, then for some reason just stopped...
Haven't seen a Grayling for almost 40 years... And Bleak, I can't ever remember catching one or seeing one on either the Lugg nor the Wye which were the two main rivers I fished.
Maybe this site will help track some down for you...

My friend is a grayling guide! He is annoyingly good at grayling fishing! So much so you feel like pushing him in best thing he could have done is start guiding before he got lynched at the bothy lol
I have a notion for ultra light fishing for Trout as well!

Cheers mate! I will have a look to see if I can get fishing soon! It said they like nymphs and I've got plenty of those so you never know!
Indeed the Thames, and some of it's tributaries held enormous shoals of them. Back in the day their scales were used as the polish/coating for fake pearls they were so numerous. The last big shoal I saw was on the Kennet in the middle of Reading where it runs through the Oracle shopping centre. This was over a decade ago though and I've moved since then.
I was just like that with Gudgeon.. my dad used to tell me about catching them by the bucket load. I did eventually catch a few, like little mini barbel.. gorgeous looking little fish

Yhea the little species a wonders to look at (some os the smaller wrasse can look tropical) one fish I really want to catch myself is a Dorado they are becoming more and more common in the Med every summer so I am thinking next year, me and a stretch of Italian or Greek coastline have a week or two of fishing planned together.
