#光威垂钓季 #
Some time ago, when an angler in Yangshuo, Guangxi Province, was fishing in the Guijiang River (one of the largest tributaries of the Xijiang River), it can be said that he had a lot of luck and caught an extremely rare "strange fish". How strange is this strange fish? The whole body of the fish is a layer of cyan, and there are slightly reddish scales, which looks very magnificent and elegant. Many people have not seen this fish, this angler has not caught it before, has seen it, and feels very novel.
In fact, this fish is not a strange fish, it is a Guihua carp. Stone carp, earth carp, wheat carp, Thai carp, the southern anglers have basically fished, basically know, have also been caught, and know them very well. For Guihua carp, the southern anglers do not say that they have fished, most of the anglers have not even heard the name, let alone the northern anglers, and they cannot touch the guihua carp at all. Because the growth environment of Guihua carp has certain limitations, not all over the country, it is a unique fish species in the south, but not all the southern waters are found, it only grows in the Pearl River system, the Yuan River system and a few other waters.
Speaking of Guihua carp, it is the best of mud carp, the best mud carp, it has the most delicious meat, the selling price is also a shift, and the price is not low. In the early 80s of last century, the selling price of Guihua carp was 15 to 20 yuan per market catty, in the early years, just divided into fields to households, many people could not eat enough, in the era of not eating enough to sell 20 yuan a catty, you can imagine how much the value of this fish. Nowadays, its price casually exceeds more than 100 yuan a pound, and even if it is as high as 100 yuan a pound, it may not be able to buy, because there is still no market.....
People who have fished for soil carp have felt the phenomenon of "frying rods", the strength of soil carp is large, and about 1 kilogram of fish can pull the rod loudly and form a large curved bow. Guihua fish is more fierce than the mud carp, more powerful, more tactile to catch, and the older generation of anglers often fish for it. At present, the number of Guihua carp in the wild is getting smaller and smaller, so anglers can't catch one a year. To be clear. Guihua carp is not a protected fish, it is completely legal to fish, but many anglers do not know how to fish.

Guihua fish, also known as Qingyi, Flat Qingyi, Agarwood Fish, Guangdong and Guangxi folk name is the most Qingyi, for the carp order, carp suborder, carp family, wild carp subfamily, Huafu genus of fish species.
The body of the Guihua carp is slender and diamond-shaped, slightly flattened on the sides, and the abdomen is rounded. The kiss is slightly blunt and densely covered with pearls. The mouth is wide and curved. The edge of the snout is delicately cut, exposed near the corner of the mouth, the lower lip is separated from the lower jaw, and the edge and inner surface of the lower lip are covered with small papillae, with chin grooves. The mandibular margin is slightly protruding. There are a pair of whiskers on both sides of the mouth, the whiskers are very small, the adult fish's snouts must be degenerated, and the jaws are in the deep grooves at the corners of the mouth. The dorsal fin has no hard spines, and the longest fin is longer than the head.
The biggest feature of the Guihua carp is "discoloration", its body color is blue and black with green when it is first caught, the back is dark, the abdomen is yellow and white, the scales on the side of the body have red dots in the center, and the fins are light yellow (red). When it dies of water, its body becomes grayish-black, with a darker back and a shallow abdomen, each scale has a slightly black frame, and the center is lighter, forming mostly pale gray straight bars. Juveniles have a slightly black longitudinal stripe along the lateral line to the base of the caudal fin.
The living environment of guihua carp is completely different from other mud carp, and it mainly inhabits rivers or mountain streams with rocky bottoms. Its diet is similar to that of other mud carp, feeding mainly on algae, moss and organic detritus, which are often scraped.
Guihua carp will spawn in clusters in March to April of each year, relying on eggs to breed offspring, Guihua carp is the most common individual between 0.5 and 1kg, but it is not considered a small individual fish, its largest individual can reach 8 to 10 kilograms, some individuals can even reach 10 kilograms, which has always been an economic fish in the Liangguang area.
The distribution range of Guihua is very small, and only the Pearl River system and the Yuanjiang River system are distributed in China, of which the Xijiang River system is the mainstay. It is also found in Dongting Lake and its vicinity large lakes in Hunan And in rivers in the upper reaches of Dongting Lake. Its distribution abroad is only found in the Red River system in Vietnam. It is rarely found elsewhere.

As I said just now, many people do not know how to fish for Guihua carp, which is also one of the reasons why they do not know Guihua carp. We usually fish, basically using the fishing rod fishing line, to find a slow water to fish. This allows you to catch many kinds of fish, but this fishing method is not suitable for fishing for guihua carp, or it is not the best fishing method. So how can you catch guihua carp?
1. The choice of fishing spots
Guihua carp prefers to inhabit rivers or mountain streams with rocky bottoms, so the fishing spot should first be selected in the waters with some rapids. Secondly, there needs to be a place with large stones (rocks) in the water, or a place with bamboo (bamboo rows) and decaying wood, (for example, a piece of bamboo is poured into the water). There are many algae growing on the stones or on the bamboo decaying wood, which are the food of the guihua carp. Fishing spots must be selected in places with rapids and large rocks.
2. Fishing time
Another habit of the Guihua carp is gregarious foraging time. Their foraging time is between 8 and 9 a.m. and 4 to 5 p.m. every day. Whenever these two periods of time are reached, the guihua carp will float in groups around the rocks or wooden rows in the upper layers of the rapid water body, scrape the attached algae with the lower lip, and after eating, they will return to the deep water area of the rapid water to inhabit. Therefore, the best fishing time is every day 7 to 10 am and 3 to 6 pm two time periods, other times basically do not open.
3. Fishing bait
Guihua carp is a vegetarian fish that prefers a sweeter bait. Many people fish with commodity bait, not that commodity bait is not good, but no matter how the commodity bait is deployed, it is difficult to resist the scouring of the rapids. Therefore, it is difficult to catch Guihua carp with commercial bait, and only homemade bait can resist the erosion of rapids.
There are two ways to make your own bait. One way is to use sweet potatoes or sweet potatoes directly, and sweet potatoes are best used with purple heart sweet potatoes. Cut them into small pieces the size of tail fingers and steam them in nests. It should be noted that it is not completely steamed and steamed, half-cooked or two-thirds cooked. This increases their aroma and sweetness, and they are well resistant to the erosion of rapids.
Another method is rice balls. Steamed with rice (preferably glutinous rice, sticky) not too rotten, but wrap the rice with a towel or cloth, try to rub it, rub the rice grains into a basket shape, and then pinch them into small particles, and the size can be wrapped in a fish hook. During the kneading process, commercial bait can be added appropriately to increase its aroma, sweetness and change the color of the rice balls.
According to experience, purple or yellowish bait is more attractive to Guihua carp, but I can't explain why it is so, but I have only learned my own experience in fishing.
4. Fishing method
The best fishing method for Guihua carp is Yangtze River fishing (not barrage fishing, there are slight differences). You can take a Pe line No. 8 with a length of about 10 meters (the length depends on the water area), and install a fish hook with a sub-line of about 50 to 60 cm long every meter, and you can install more than 4 fish hooks. When the threads are assembled, hang up the bait.
When fishing, gradually release the line along the current, and when the line is finished, tie the head of the line to a fixed small branch or solid water, and then sit at the edge of the water and wait for the fish to be hooked.
The bait of the Guihua carp is easy to observe. Since there is no floating float, you can only observe the movement of the main line to determine whether it is a middle fish. The most obvious action of Guihua carp eating bait is that it can only swim left and right, forming an S-shaped line. When the bait action is fed back to the main line, the line will suddenly be tightened and straightened, and the line will move left and right. When you see this action, you can immediately close the line and copy the fish. It should be noted that the fish hook must choose an barbed Isena, so that it is not easy to run the fish.

Fishing for guihua carp, it is difficult to catch with traditional fishing methods, because it lives in waters with rapids, and it is difficult to have its presence in still waters, which is why most anglers have not fished. If you want to fish it, you must fish it according to its living habits, only choose a good fishing spot, pay attention to the use of bait, and then pay attention to the fishing method to catch it.
At present, due to the extremely high economic value of Guihua carp, it has been subjected to a large number of indiscriminate fishing, resulting in today's increasingly small number of endings, almost on the verge of disappearing, and it is rare to see in rivers such as the Xijiang River. In all the crowds fishing in the Xijiang River, it is difficult to hear the news of the fishing of Guihua carp. There are very few in the Xijiang River, where the main habitat is, and only less in other places. It is recommended not to fish it from March to April every year, so that it can better reproduce its offspring.
Final advice: As a fisherman, you need to be civilized in fishing. Moreover, environmental protection is the responsibility of every angler!
