Fishing guide

European Weatherfish (Misgurnus Fossilis) is a species of Loach widespread in Europe and Asia. It gets its name for coming to the surface and acting excitedly whenever the air pressure changes before a thunderstorm. These fish inhabit still waters of muddy rivers and are resilient to low-oxygen environments.

These small fish are yellowish in coloration, with brown bands stretching along their entire body. European Weatherfish usually grow to a length of about 30 cm and a maximum weight of 0.25kg.

When it comes to float, feeder, or bottom fishing, the best way to catch European Weatherfish would be to use Red Worms on a size #6 hook.
