Bream, or Brama, is a species of the Cyprinus, or carp. It inhabits lakes, or the deep parls of smooth rivers, and affords sport to the angler, though it is not much esteemed for its flavour. The rules for catching this fish are nearly milar to those established for taking carp in general, which will be stat-ed under the article Carp : the tackle, however, should be finer than what is commonly used for that fish; and the angler should throw his line as nearly as possible into the middle of the stream. The bream may be taken with a bluebottle fly, either by whipping, or in the common method, by paste or gentles.
