China's territory is vast, the difference between the north and the south is large, many of the unique fish species in the north are not in the south, for example, the pond swamp male fish, it belongs to the northern fish species, for one year fish, a small number of live to the second year, the third year. It can reach about 10 centimeters a year, generally 12 to 15 centimeters. Spawning when frozen in winter, it is basically difficult to survive above 30 degrees, and it is a typical northern fish.
There are also special fish in the south, especially in the streams in the mountains and forests, and there are also many strange and strange fish that live. These fish also do not survive in the north. Today to share with you a species that only survives in the south, and the southwest region, many southern anglers do not know the fish species, even if caught will be mistaken for the local yellow bone fish, this owner is called "little yellow dragon" by anglers.
Most of the anglers of the little yellow arowana have not been fished, and it is not surprising that many anglers across the country have not even heard of it, after all, it is not distributed all over the country. Even in the southern region, it is not very widely distributed, and occasionally one or two are caught, which is thought to be a mutated catfish. It belongs to the catfish family, which is different from catfish and has a higher nutritional value than catfish. Most of this "strange fish" lives in streams and mountain streams in the mountains, the whole body is golden yellow, different from other catfish, it has two pairs of four whiskers, one long and one short, plus a "huge" flat head, "mighty" fin tail fin, it does look like a "little yellow dragon" swimming in the water...
< h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > know the little yellow arowana</h1>
We often say that the little yellow arowana, its scientific name is the big fin catfish, belongs to the catfish, the family Catfish, the genus Offir. Commonly known as river rat, stone slab head, stone flat head, rock flat head, stone beard, ox tail, can bark.
It is widely distributed in the yangtze river to the Pearl River system, with more production in the middle and upper reaches of the river, which is a benthic fish, and mostly inhabits the trunk and tributaries of rivers with faster water flow and more gravel bottom, and likes to cluster. Foraging at night, feeding mainly on benthic animals, such as snails, mussels, aquatic insects and their larvae, small shrimp, small fish, etc., and occasionally eating higher plant detritus and algae.
The individual of the small yellow arowana is not very large, and the average weight is about 0.5 kg, and the largest individual can reach 5 kg. The meat is tender and delicious, with a certain economic value. It was listed by the provincial aquatic germplasm resources conservation areas in Sichuan Province (the fifth batch).

The little yellow arowana is usually rare to see, really a bit like the legendary dragon, usually difficult to see the real face. Only during the rainy season, especially when flash floods break out after heavy rains, this "little yellow dragon" appears in groups in streams and rivers under the mountains. Only during this period is the best season for fishing, missing the rainy season and needing to wait for another year.
1. The choice of fishing spots
Fishing spots must be selected in the rocky rocks, or there are stone caves at the bottom of the water; or the bottom of the water is more gravel, and the water flow is more rapid in the main river trunk, tributary water inlet. The confluence of the Chiaroscuro River is also a good fishing spot. It should be noted that the fishing position cannot be selected in the still water area, and there must be a slow flow of water, which is the best choice.
2. Bait
Bait can use earthworms, pork liver, chicken liver, etc. as fishing bait, the effect is ideal, of course, conditional can also catch the big white nose for fishing, the effect is also a bar drop.
3. Fishing tackle
You can use a hand rod or rock fishing, depending on the fishing environment, but I prefer to use a hand rod. The 28-tone 5.4-meter fishing rod is more suitable, and you can catch 1 pound of small yellow arowana on the bottom and 10 pounds on the top. The little yellow dragon belongs to the dead-mouthed fish, the line group 4 + 3 is enough, the fish hook needs is notch with barbs, of course, the hook picker is also a must.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > the difference between small yellow arowana and yellow spicy ding</h1>
Many anglers read the article and see the picture and think that the little yellow arowana is a yellow spicy ding. In fact, they are not the same kind of fish at all. The little yellow dragon is actually more like a sesame sword, and Guangxi and other regions also have a "bone sword".
Yellow spicy ding is more common refers to the body shape of the "triangle", the body side and the back of the body with three spikes on the scale of the scale of the small and medium-sized fish species, mainly a variety of anchovy family and anchovy species.
The small yellow arowana is another discipline of fish species, the scientific name is the large "fin turtle", which belongs to the relatively rare genus of turtles. The distribution of turtle fish in China's large rivers is relatively small, and most of them are relatively rare fish species. For example, the close relative of the little yellow dragon, the spotted turtle, which is also what we often call the sesame sword, is a valuable freshwater fish species.
The most direct difference is that the little yellow arowana has 2 to 4 whiskers, golden yellow all over the body, without a little spot or marking. The body of the yellow spicy ding is bluish brown, with 3 to 6 whiskers.

The living environment of the small yellow arowana is relatively harsh, not only requires good water quality, but only in the mountain streams and streams with large water potential differences and large stone structures under the water. At present, there are in the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze and Pearl Rivers, such as Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan, Chongqing, Sichuan and other places, and its existence.
20 years ago, there were also a large number of small yellow arowanas widespread. However, with the artificial river sand panning, river dam interception, waterway operation and man-made indiscriminate fishing, the number of small yellow arowana has declined year by year, and there are very few at present, especially the anglers on both sides of the Yangtze River and pearl river. While not yet extinct, it's time to get noticed. It is believed that the 10-year ban on fishing in the Yangtze River can greatly help the recovery of the number of small yellow arowana.
