Fishing guide

Humpback Whitefish (Coregonus pidschian) is a schooling fish of the whitefish genus of the salmon family. It can reach more than 8.8 pounds (4 kilograms) in weight and up to 27 inches (70 centimeters) in length. The Whitefish prefers places with a silty-sandy bottom, a weak current, and well-developed aquatic vegetation. Its activity peaks in the evening, but it is also active during daylight hours. In cloudy weather, it is active throughout the day. The Whitefish is an excellent fighter, so get ready for some impressive resistance from it. Adults feed at the river bottom on small mollusks, crustaceans, insects, their larvae, and eggs of other fish.

If you prefer to use natural baits, then the best way to catch Humpback Whitefish would be to use Bloodworms on a size #2/0 hook.

If you are more into artificial lures, you should go for some Grubs.

The most successful lure is Yellow/Black X-Series Barbless Nano Spoon 6 g, #1/0.
