Living habits: Osmanthus fragrans generally inhabit still water or slow-flowing water, especially in lakes with lush aquatic plants. It is not active in winter, often overwinters in deep water, and generally does not completely stop eating. When the weather gets warmer in spring, they swim to the coastal shallow water for food. At this time, the male and female fish have the habit of lying on their sides in the cave under the lake every day, and they move and feed in the water grass at night, mainly feeding on other fish.
Fishing method: choose a morning after mid-spring. When mandarin fish is dormant for a winter and in urgent need of food, take small live fish, small live loach or fresh shrimp as bait, hook it on the back, place the hand pole in a slow-flowing place, a lush water plant or a rocky pile, and hang the bait in a teasing way, without making a nest, change places while fishing and wait patiently for mandarin fish to bite.
