Tench can be found in most still waters, canals and even rivers, and can manage to servive in poorly oxygenated conditions where other fish would not.

It is a bottom dwelling fish feeding on crustaceans,, larvae and bloodworms and is generally found in small shoals.

A feeding tench releases a stream of tiny bubbles that can be seen on the surface.

The tench is a sturdily built fish with small scales embedded in its olive green body.

The female of the spcies has larger ventrals fins to that of the male. Colour variations of the tench can often be found in ponds, usually gold in colour with a variety of markings, where they have been stocked for ornamental purposes.


Methods of Capture:

One of the best baits to use for Tench is small red-worm or red maggots.

Tench tend to be cautious feeders and often play with the bait before confidently taking it.

This is reflected in the bite. The float will often bob a few times before lifting slightly and then gliding away.

Many bites are missed by over anxious anglers striking too early and it is advisable to wait for the float to glide away before striking.

A tench once hooked can present the angler with quite a energetic fight, often diving for available cover and snags therefore tackle needs to be fairly strong. Tench are early morning species.

They used to be called the doctor fish because people were under the impression that when other fish were injured they would swim into a tench and there mucus, slime would stick to them and heal there scars.
