Apr 27, 2021 · CHUB. Chub are gravel spawners and congregate in large numbers, often in small feeder streams where there are good gravels, high oxygen levels and warm temperatures. They generally spawn when the water temperature is around 19-20 degrees C, so usually between late May and early June. However, in some years spawning can carry on much later.
Jun 10, 2024 · Summer is a time of abundance for many fish species. Warm water and an explosion of aquatic life create ideal conditions for spawning. Fish like bass, catfish, and carp take advantage of the favorable environment to reproduce. Summer spawning patterns are often linked to changes in water temperature and daylight hours, but other factors like ...
May 15, 2023 · SPAWNING NODULES. Another good indicator that carp and bream are close to spawning, is spawning nodules. These are small lumps or spots on the fish, which will make the fish very rough to touch. These nodules will cover the head and pectoral fins but do not worry they aren’t causing the fish any harm. A big bream covered in spawning nodules.
- Carp. Carp are a warm water species and only grow and reproduce in water temperatures of 15ºC, and above. They can be caught all year round but feeding activity slows down from the first frosts.
- Tench. An iconic summer species. In colder water conditions – from late October to April when water temperature dips – the tench slows down its body mechanism and effectively hibernates.
- Roach. Roach are one of the few species that will feed freely throughout the cold weather. Like most other species, roach won’t feed following sudden water temperature drops of more than one or two degrees (after a hard, overnight frost, for example.)
- Perch. More active in summer than winter as they digest their food quicker, and therefore eat more often. Some specialist perch anglers maintain that big stillwater perch rarely feed when the water temperature falls below 4ºC (39ºF.)
Jul 23, 2019 · Water temperature has a huge effect of the lives of the fish in our rivers, lakes and canals. It effects their ability to grow, to feed, to reproduce and the search for cooler water in the summer and warmer water in the winter will also effect where you will find them. In extreme temperatures our fish stocks very survival is dependent on ...
Water temperature is one of the major factors that influence spawning. Different species have different preferred spawning temperatures. Walleye, for example, will spawn when the water reaches 45° to 50° Fahrenheit. Largemouth bass, on the other hand, spawns between 68° and 72° Fahrenheit. The first fry (when baby fish leave the egg sac and ...

Summer brings many species to the UK, but anglers may need to fish early in the morning or late at night to avoid the crowds. By the early summer the seas should have warmed up which will see the summer species move into shallower waters and within range of sea anglers. Summer is one of the busiest times for UK anglers as shoals of sprats move ...
