Common Nase

Common Nase (Chondrostoma Nasus) is a European freshwater fish of the Carp family with a natural habitat in the drainages of the Black, Baltic and North Sea. But this migratory fish has also been introduced to other parts of Europe. Common Nase prefer deep, fast moving waters, where they usually stay in shoals. Common Nase has a blue-gray or silvery elongated body with an orange tail. Generally, these fish grow to 25-40 cm (9-15 in) in length, and weigh from 0.3 to 1 kg (0.6-2.2 lb). However, unique specimen are known to reach up to 1.6 kg (3.5 lb) in weight. These bottom-dwelling fish mostly feed on algae and other aquatic plants.

When it comes to float, feeder, or bottom fishing, the best way to catch Common Nase would be to use Bloodworms on a size #4 hook.
