All of these river techniques typically work best for carp or catfish, depending on the location. Due to the light refraction at the water surface and the optical distortion of the apparent position of underwater objects (which would appear to be shallower), aiming straight at the target silhouette usually results in a miss.
Good carp fishing can be found in many different types of water. Many find rivers to provide some of the most challenging, but rewarding, fishing. [2] For rivers that connect directly with the ocean, the largest carp often reside in the stretch between the beginning of the tidal influence and where the salinity becomes intolerable to the carp.
The use of the hook in angling is descended, historically, from what would today be called a gorge.The word "gorge", in this context, comes from the French word meaning "throat".
The bighead carp (Hypophthalmichthys nobilis) is a species of cyprinid freshwater fish native to East Asia, and is one of several Asian carps introduced into North America.It is one of the most intensively exploited fishes in fish farming, with an annual worldwide production of over three million tonnes in 2013, principally from China.

Special cut fillets are taken from solid large blocks; these include a "natural" cut fillet, wedge, rhombus or tail shape. Fillets may be skinless or have skin on; pinbones may or may not be removed. [4] A fletch is a large boneless fillet of halibut, swordfish or tuna. [4] There are several ways to cut a fish fillet:
Fillet knife blades are made very thin, approximately 2.5–3.5 mm at the spine, so that they can still bend and flex and maintain an edge. If the knife were hard enough to maintain an edge and the blade was thick, the knife would not bend enough to remove the skin from a fillet or work around intricate rib bones.
Asian carp is an informal grouping of several species of cyprinid freshwater fishes native to Eurasia, commonly referring to the four East Asian species silver carp, bighead carp, grass carp (a.k.a. white amur) and black carp (a.k.a. black amur), [note 1] which were introduced to North America during the 1970s and now regarded as invasive in the United States.
The four dominant fish species known in the United States as Asian carp are introduced invasive species.They all cause harm within their new environments. Specifically, the four most well-known species of invasive Asian carp are black carp (Mylopharyngodon piceus), grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella), silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix), and bighead carp (Hypophthalmichthys nobilis).
