The Ruffe or Pope is our smallest predator which is mainly bottom dwelling. It is very similar to the Perch in fin structure and body shape. The colouring is a very drab, khaki brown.
They are normally located on rivers but will also live in stillwaters. They can be caught using maggots, casters and chopped worms.
