Fishing locally last week and started catching what looked like a rudd/bream hybrid. It was bream shaped with bright red fins but what differentiated from a roach/bream hybrid was that it had the mouth of a Rudd.
Has anyone every come across such a species because it`s new to me???

Re: Rudd/Bream hybrid
Yeah happens all the time. Rudd, roach, bream, there are hybrids of them quite often, usually more frequent in very small enclosed body of waters.

Re: Rudd/Bream hybrid
They used to be common place in ireland when i was growing up and are a lovely lookin fish.
sadly rare enough now along with the true rudd as roach have taken over and diluted the gene pool.
a lot of big roach and rudd caught here are actually hybrids of the two.... some historical captures could also be hybrids, but i guess we will never truely know

Re: Rudd/Bream hybrid
I suppose the fin colour will range depending on the gene pool of the dominant species. The hybrids I caught had red fins and they were a lovely looking fish.
Thanks to all for you input.

Re: Rudd/Bream hybrid
They fight well these big hybrids, here's one I had this spring, I believe it's also Rudd/bream?
Weighed 6lb 2oz.
