The Gudgeon is prolific in nearly every water in Britain. It is one fish that can save you from blanking all year round. It is a bottom dwelling fish. They have sometimes been mistaken for young Barbel but the Gudgeon only has 2 barbules, 1 either side of its mouth.
They will take most baits, but maggots, casters, chopped worms and punched bread work best.
