this is a different topic but anyway i will find another spot for it later.i discovered that when i hook a sikang on fly sometimes another fish will attack the hooked fish.if i use this fish as a lure on a long ayu pole i will be able to catch another sikang using the ayu hooks attached to the lure fish to snag the attacker.so…ayu fishing begins!!!cheers.

Very interesting topic … under “Tenkara” perhaps?.[:)]
Anyway, why do you think the other fish “attacked” the hooked fish? … maybe its trying to “help” his friend who is hooked?
Also, how do you attach the ayu hooks to the “lure” fish?
<><ICHTUS><>
Attacked Hooked Fish.
Happened many time to me, were fortunate to see a school of ladyfishes attacking not the fish but the lure and the lines when i’m pulling in the fish. I can see cleary that they were aiming for the lure at the mouth of the fish hooked. And they repeatedly attacked and try to bite the leader line used. They failed.
This is similar to Tenggiri fishing where many lines were simply cut off despite using a cable leader. Happened to me many time as well. The cut were at the upper leader or the breided line itself.
And many time, peacocok bass and other chiclids (the striped one) will do the same. I’ve been using 2 flies on many occasions and caught 2 fishes.
Recently in a remote area upstream bentong, i hooked up a sikang and can see cleary there were at least 2 other sikang trying to share the only grasshopper flies that was attached; if only i have 2 flies attached.
These incident shows that they were attracted to the baits/lure/flies at the other fish mouth and not the same principle used for ayu fishing were some kind of territorial display were enforced to ‘push’ the other ayu away thus it’s hooked to those trebles used.

in ayu fishing the lure fish is attached with a nose ring and some trailing hooks are also attached to this ring.when an attacker tries to ram the lure fish it get snagged by the trailing hook/hooks.when i hooked the sikang another bigger sikang attacked by biting it’s gills /gill cover and held on for a few seconds.some good ayu sites can be found on you tube.cheers…

sikang are very territorial and will savagely attack any intruder just like ayu .cheers.

Interesting observation Master Yong on the biting of it’s gill cover. Maybe it;s the maiting pair.
I’ve been searching for the seasonality of this fish. There are theories about the seasonality etc. I haven’t been able to find it yet. All my sikang fishes were base on my free time, none on timing etc.
It was nice in other countries when the hatch perios can be axpected(early spring) and many fishes feeds on them. Do we know our season here? It’s rainy season (NE monsson) at Kenyir for examples but not sure about other areas.
Only this year i manage to see these sikang ‘in their wild’ jumping attacking these blue color damsel flies. These were also the time when there were chasing other caught fishes. Sikang is a special fish. Maybe you can share your experience regarding their seasonality/moods etc. Thanks.

We did ayu fishing yerterday. We saw a bigger sikang keep following our “bait”. I cast many times but the fish didnt take my fly.. Suddenly, the bait was taken by a big monster of bujuk..

That is one mother sikang… well done
guys..wat timing was the best hook up rate???
btw, found this on the net and have a slight idea what ayu fishing is all about.
Went Lentang on Sunday (11th July) with Master Yong, Alex & Damien. Water was very muddy and current was fast. Trying out in many places along the stream where Master Yong knows well, but fail to see or hook any fish. So we brought Master Yong to a secret sport nearby, and this is what he has caught on a fly popper.
