[quote name='ru 12 mug' post='13722' date='Feb 20 2009, 05:57 PM']I've seen a thing they use in Japan to catch a small fish very much like a small trout.
what they do is go and buy a live one of these fish and clip it onto their line with a stinger hook just behind the small fish and what happens is the fish are very terittorial and will strike at any fish in their little space of the river[/quote]
I have also seen that type of fishing (I think it was on 'Rex Hunt's fishing adventures many years ago, the fish is an ayu.

A lot of japanese lure companies (Jackal/Lake Police and Lucky Craft are two) produce lures which are the 'ayu' colour, it is definately one of my favorites for fishing in freshwater!
Also, if memory serves me right, ayu was a theme ingredient on Iron Chef <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
