Europe from
France to the
Caspian Sea.
These fishes reach maximum overall lengths of 35–82

invertebrates, and occasionally on smaller fish species, and they serve as prey for larger fishes, including
pikes.
The generic name
Abramis derives from the
Greek αβραμίς (
mullet or bream).
Fishing
They are
fished both commercially and for sport, especially the economically important
carp bream.
However bream don't often fight as hard as some other species native to the UK, and owing to their flat disc shaped profile, once tilted to one side are relatively easy to bring to the bank.
Common baits for bream include;
- Sweetcorn - 2 or 3 grains hair-rigged is an effective method.
- Maggot - Again hair rigging maggots can produce bream, or 2 to 3 maggot straight on the hook.
- Boilies - these can produce bream as long as the boiles are smaller, in a variety of flavours.
All three methods can be fished using a paternoster rig, and cage feeder with the bait, for example sweetcorn fixed inside using groundbait plugs, or maggot feeder when fishing maggots.
