- There is not much fishing done in this district except some fishing that is done in the river Blackwater. The principle fish in the Blackwater are Salmon, Pike, Trout, Salmon fry, Perch, Roache and Bream. To catch any of these fish you must have a certain kind of bait. To catch the Salmon and trout you must have a fly as a bait. This fly is not a real fly but an artificial fly with a hook attached to its body so that when the fish jumps for the fly the hook gets caught in its mouth. Pike can be caught with a frog. To catch salmon fry, perch, Roach or bream yo must have a worm on your hook as a bait.
