Late evening fishing just before dark can result in some exceptional results for the angler wanting to experience the sights and sounds of the lake at dusk.Due to the water clarity evening to sunset can be the most profitable for Bream and Roach,with the shoals moving in closer to the shore and thus can be encouraged to feed using various baits.
