Fishing for common bream — practise in real Swedish lakes

common bream is documented in 4451 Swedish lakes on provfiska. Open a lake below and the simulation starts with common bream as the target — fish the water as it is right now, or turn time, season and weather.

Typical length: 19–32 cm · max 72 cmMost common depth: <3 mBest months: May, Jun, Jul, AugDocumented in: 4451 lakes (1068 survey-fished)

Where in the depth column is common bream?

Share of the national survey catch per depth zone. The simulation uses the same distribution — fish the right depth and you hook more, and bigger.

<3 m62%
3-5.9 m29%
6-11.9 m7.5%
12-19.9 m1.5%
20-34.9 m<1%

Which method takes common bream?

The simulation's technique selectivity — how readily the species takes a lure, a baited float or a vertical jig. The wrong method doesn't catch the wrong fish, just like in real life.

Float
Jigging
Spinning
