If someone shows you a mark to fish, respect it and dont pass it of as one of your own, dont tell every man and his dog about it.

roach bream hybrids are not as dark in colour as the rudd bream and are not as high in the back, sometimes the rudd bream hybrids have a slightly more upturned bottom lip than the roach bream hybrids.
