1. Where found at different periods of the year?
During summer, on the Yare, principally between Langley Dyke and Reedham; in winter often found in good quantity in the vicinity of Thorpe Broad and about Carrow and Trowse Hythe. On the Bure they appear to congregate in the deep waters of the Broads in winter, and make their appearance about the end of May and through the summer on the river.
2. Best periods to fish for them?
July and August.
3. What time of day at different seasons?
Good catches of bream are often had in early morning. I have, on the other hand, had capital sport by moonlight.
For further notes, see answer to same question on “Roach.”
4. What depth of water?
The deepest waters and quietest eddies are, as a rule, the best; but I have caught large quantities of fine bream at Wroxham, on the Bure, in not more than four feet and a half of water.
5. How affected by the tide?
