Hi , Can anyone help me, I fished the stretch of River Nene at Bluebell Lakes last week and found it quite tough, while its easy to catch small fry i didnt do so well catching anything else, bumped a couple of bream. Can anyone give me a few pointers to be able to catch some decent fish. I fished mainly down the middle and three quarters across,. If i went near the lilies i got a lot of streamer weed. i would like to be able catch some nice bream and chance of a carp or two ,thank you
