Details
A small silver fish with a straight back and a small upturned mouth.
Not a match mans fish because of its lack of size and weight, however due to the large shoals, it has been known for some of us to go TIDDLER BASHING, however you will have to work very hard and catch a lot of fish just to weigh in 1 Kg.

Specimen fish - 2 oz(56.6 gm)
