Small fish species, our most common is the white strip, which is very annoying when fishing. The adaptability of white strips is strong, and the water quality requirements are not very high, but some small fish species have very high requirements for water quality. The meat quality of small fish with high water quality requirements is very delicious and is loved by the majority of consumers, so many anglers like to take it as their target fish and fish it specifically.
However, due to water pollution, electric fishing and other reasons, many small fish species are becoming less and less. In the rivers of cities in particular, they are more difficult to find, and only in the rural streams and pools of the mountains, but their numbers are beginning to decrease.
For example, the most fished in the major rivers are earth carp, wheat carp, Thai carp, and many people ignore the existence of stone carp. As for the mud carp, very few people have caught it, and for the anglers in the city, it is just a childhood memory. In fact, although the stone carp is small, it is delicious in nature and sells at a high price, and many people are farmed.
The mud carp is widely distributed in most of the south, and it was often said that it was a "mud carp growing on stones", although it was not very correct, but it was very graphic. They mainly inhabit reservoirs, lakes, streams in deep pools, the requirements for water quality are very high, lower than the second type of water environment, basically can not see their traces, these are why it is rarely seen in urban waters.

1. The choice of fishing spots
Whether there are or not stone carp in the water is actually very easy to observe. Because they like to live in groups, the water quality is clear, and they swim quickly as soon as the wind and grass move, which will form a kind of wave pattern.
(1) First of all, the waters of Shitan. The most favorite way of foraging is to scrape the microorganisms on the rock, so there is the presence of the most stone carp in the waterhole of the stone rock. The waterhole should be slender and the water surface is large as well.
(2) Followed by the slow flow. Another feature of the stone carp is to grab the flow, like to chase the flow in the place where there is a small flow of water, this kind of noise is actually the performance of robbing food. But the flow of water can not be too large, too fast, rapids are not conducive to fishing.
(3) The third is where there are many obstacles under the water. This kind of obstacle is mainly based on rocks and sand, but other obstacles can also exist under the water. These places have a lot of food, which is conducive to the group life of stone carp.
2. Fishing method
Stone mud carp is small, there is no requirement for the rod, with their own habits to use the rod with the line, the fish hook is recommended to use sleeve 2. The best way to fish for rock carp is the bottom method, which every fishing will do. But why do many people not fish well? Mainly determined by the habits of the stone carp, it is a gregarious fish, often a group will have hundreds, if you do not pursue fast in the process of fishing, the fish will quickly disappear and swim to other places.
The "fast" mentioned here refers to the diligent lifting of the rod, the rapid pumping of fish, the rapid change of bait, etc. When there is no mouth for several rods, it is necessary to change the fishing point and chase the fish, which may be tossed back and forth in the same water, and the mud carp will rarely be far away from the waters of other places, more family-loving.
Stone carp is a predatory fish, as long as the mouth foraging, basically will not stop, until the water fish to catch not much, become thin after the mouth can consider changing places. The stone carp eats fiercely, and the drift phase is basically black drift, or it becomes easy to grab the drift phase by pulling and running quickly.
3. Fishing time
The best time to fish for mud carp is in summer and autumn, starting in mid-March and ending october, with the most suitable time being between mid-May and mid-September. When fishing, it is also necessary to pay attention to the best time before 9 am and after 5 pm, when the foraging desire of the stone carp is the strongest and the most diligent to eat the hook.
4. Bait
bait
Stone carp is not picky eaters, meat and vegetarian food, fishing bait can choose aroma bait or small red earthworm is better.
Nest material
I don't know if you have noticed that when you were a child herding cattle, there are places in the water where buffalo often lie, and there must be many rocky carp. Why? Probably a lot of people don't know. Because cows often in the water, cow is the best nest material.
The other is that rural house bran, wheat husks, and peanut mushrooms are also the best nest materials, which is very effective for attracting fish to stay in the nest.

Thinking of mud carp will think of the scene of herding cattle when you are young, holding a fishing rod in your hand, driving cattle to herd cattle on the lawn by the big river, opening a rod to fish for mud carp in the place where cattle often go into the water, a few pounds of fish is no problem, and when you are lucky, more than 8 pounds are often there.
However, the current stone carp is becoming more and more difficult to catch, and many waters are almost gone. Only in the small streams in the mountains there are still a lot of existence, want to fish for rock carp, only go into the mountains again, looking for those good water quality places, can get over the addiction. Looking back on my childhood, I really have the idea of going back to that era, and now my mind is full of memories. How many people living in the city have fished for rock carp? Is it old?
