Minnow

These tiny fish can be a bit of a pest when fishing with maggots as they shoal together and attack small baits. They are up to 2inches long and are brown/green on top with a dark line along the flanks. They are found in rivers, lakes, ponds and streams across Europe.

Goldfish

Some fisheries stock goldfish of all sorts in their commercial fisheries - a cheaper way to bulk up their stocks. They can range in size and colour, from brown through to blue, and all colours in between. Brown goldfish are very often mistaken for crucian carp. To catch a goldfish or two, simply use the same tactics as you would when fishing for a carp of any size.
