I've always got a rod in the car, but I'm guessing they wouldn't take too kindly to me chucking a feeder in there :D

OK then lets play what can you see. I see pike,perch,carp, rudd, tench and just above the rock in the background two hands which look like they were the other side of the glass.
Anything else?

No I dont think they would be best pleased...although maybe a telescopic slipped down a coat sleeve might buy you a cast or two before they catch on :)

Yes looks CG there are things about it tht are just wrong ..

Well spotted. And if you look closely there is a Sturgeon just above the Pikes tail plus a silver Carp (similar to grass Carp) in the middle right distance.

Can't see the silver carp. Directly north east of the big rudd's nose is what could be a small bream under the high-backed carp, but i hesitate because i don't see any other bream.

Yep thats the one.

Funnily I also thought it was a Bream when I looked at the photo but I didnt see any Bream in there (although its possible) however there were certainly a few silver Carp plus some Grass Carp and a few trout ...its certainly not not a Grassy or a Trout so by a process of elimination its probably one of the silver Carp.

Actually Dave, hats off to you...I looked back through a few of the other photos and here is the same fish at a different angle zoomed in on...i think it is indeed a Bream.

Well done :clap2:

I have caught one bream in the last 30 years so i am something of an expert.
