Coarse fishing

Coarse fishing is a freshwater fishing activity focused on catching non-game fish such as carp, roach, bream, and tench. It is typically practiced in lakes, rivers, and ponds using methods like baiting with worms, maggots, or boilies, and employing rods, reels, and float or ledger setups. The goal is to attract fish to the bait, then carefully reel them in. Coarse fishing emphasizes patience, skill, and understanding fish behavior, making it a popular recreational activity that offers relaxation and an opportunity to connect with nature. It’s distinct from game fishing, which targets species like trout or salmon.
