1, the bait should be light, and it is appropriate to use natural grain fragrance. Fishing in rivers is bold in nature, not strict with edible varieties, and fierce in eating. There are many small miscellaneous fish in rivers, especially sensitive to fishy food. In order to effectively avoid the hook of small miscellaneous fish, we should give priority to natural and light grain fragrance bait. Corn flour, bean cake, rice, flour, etc. are generally preferred, but they must be fresh products produced that year. It is also possible to add10%-30% commercial bait of corresponding species to the above basic bait according to the target fish species for fishing, which can obviously improve the bait rate. When I fish crucian carp, it is better to add 30% blue crucian carp or 30% September 18th carp. When I fish carp, adding10% Marubeni carp can also obviously improve the fishing effect. If the small fish is not very noisy and mainly catches small crucian carp, you can fish with meat bait such as earthworm.

2. The bait should withstand the impact of water flow and the attack of small miscellaneous fish to ensure that the bait can reach the bottom of the water. This seems to be a simple thing, but it's not that easy to do. Fishing in a flowing river must not copy the method of still water fishing, and the bait must be much harder than that of still water fishing.

3. The bait should be moderate in hardness and good in palatability. If the palatability is good, the bait should be made soft. This seems to contradict the principle 1, but it is two sides of the same problem. Principle 1 in order to ensure that the bait sinks to the bottom and prevent the attack of small miscellaneous fish, it is emphasized that the bait should be hard, and principle 2 should be soft if the bait is palatable. This requires us to find a joint between soft and hard, and this joint is moderate soft hardness. How to make the bait soft and hard is the core problem of Yehe bait modulation, and the key point is to find a test standard. And this standard is not a dead standard. Because the velocity of water is changing, the depth is changing, the number of small fish that make hooks is changing, and the fierceness of small fish that make hooks is also changing in different weather conditions, so the moderate hardness of bait is also changing. Under normal circumstances, the bait should be hard when the water flow is fast and the water level is high, and the bait should be soft when the small miscellaneous fish make trouble. Here, according to my years of practice, I give a general judgment standard: when the fish mouth is good, the buoy will have a fish message reaction after the bait enters the water, indicating that the bait has fallen to the bottom and there are fish sucking the bait; For 2-5 minutes, no matter whether there is fish on the hook or not, if the fish message of the buoy stops responding, there is no residual bait on the hook when the hook is hooked, indicating that the hardness of the bait is moderate; If the fish information of the buoy does not stop for a long time, the bait is still hanging on the hook when the hook is lifted, indicating that the bait is too hard; If there is no fish response or only instantaneous response after the hook is lowered, and there is no bait on the hook when the hook is lifted, it shows that the bait is too soft, and the bait will be unhooked soon after it falls to the bottom or will not fall to the bottom at all. If the fish mouth is not very good, it can not be judged by the above criteria, but it can be judged according to the attachment time of the bait on the hook. When fishing crucian carp, gently lift the rod within 2 minutes, and the bait is still on the hook, indicating that the bait can sink to the bottom. If there is no bait on the hook, it indicates that the bait is too soft; When there is bait in 2 minutes, lift the rod again about 5 minutes later. There is bait on the hook to indicate that the bait is too hard, and no bait indicates that the bait is moderate in hardness. If it is carp fishing, the time to judge the soft and hard standards can be extended to 8-10 minutes. In this case, the material can be softened first, and then gradually turned to hard until it reaches the standard.

4. Method of making river bait:

① Production of pure corn flour. Pure corn flour has a unique natural fragrance, which is very attractive to crucian carp and common carp. Corn flour alone as bait is less sticky than the bait without flour. In order to make up for its deficiency, it is necessary to prolong the steaming time in the upper cage, and generally steam it for about 20 minutes after it is exposed to the atmosphere. When fishing, it is necessary to knead slowly, and at the same time, adjust the hardness through water until the tendons are rubbed.

(2) making mixed bait. The ratio of mixed bait is generally 50% corn flour+25% bean cake+25% flour. This bait has good viscosity and strong tolerance to water flow and small fish hook. Generally, it can be steamed in a cage to the upper atmosphere and then steamed for 8-10 minutes. When fishing, the required softness and hardness can be achieved by kneading with water.

③ Rice making. Cooking rice with high amylopectin content into rice grains with moderate hardness.
