When roaching, bream will sometimes draw into 

 your swim, and give good sport; directly this is 

 noticed, change the tackle to bream-tackle, and fish 

 accordingly. There is a good autumn roach-swim 

 at Sunbury Weir, where the back -"water joins 

 the main weir ; the water is deep, and if 

 you catch it right, unencumbered by floating debris, 

 a large take of roach may be had. In this particular 

 swim, the bream frequently come on the feed, being 

 attracted from the deeper water by the groundbait.

 always like the look of the water near Ely and 

 Cambridge ; indeed, any of the water in 

 that neighbourhood looks " breamy." Near 

 Yarmouth, Brundall, Cantley, Ormesby, and ad- 

 jacent waters, particularly Fritton Decoy, afford 

 plenty of bream-fishing. Amongst the many 

 Thames favourable places on the Lower Thames, 



swims I n^ay mention the Old River, Windsor, 

 Chertsey Weir, Halliday's Hole and Ham Haw 

 Deeps (Shepperton), Walton Deeps, Sunbury 

 Weir, Hampton Deeps, where the intake of the 

 waterworks leaves the river, Kingston and Ted- 

 dington. It is best to employ a professional fisher- 

 man at all the Thames "pitches." I have already 

 spoken about the river Wey, at Wej-bridge. The 

 Wey and Mole are splendid bream-rivers, their 

 deep holes and slow currents suiting the fish 

 admirably. Oulton Broad, near Lowestoft, is good 

 bream water, but I hear it is uncertain.
