The Grayling
The Grayling belongs to the Salmonidae Family. The average size is 35 cm for 400 g (maximum 50 cm for 1.5 kg). Life expectancy can reach 5 years, rarely more. Breeding takes place in spring. The number of eggs laid depends on the size of the female and ranges from 600 to 8000 eggs. The fishery is open from June to December. The body, compressed laterally, is covered with large scales, some of which, pigmented, draw longitudinal streaks, highlighted with black spots. The head is small, the mouth opens downwards. The muzzle is thin, the eyes have forward pointing pupils and golden rings. The distinctive signal of the species is the long, high dorsal fin, supported by about 20 soft rays. The whole forms, over nearly a quarter of the length of the fish, an iridescent flag of violet to purple coloring, also called a vexille. The caudal peduncle is thin, surmounted by the adipose fin characteristic of Salmonids.

The Rudd fish belongs to the Cyprinidae family. The current size of the rudd fish is 15 to 30 cm for a weight of 0.5 to 1 kg. It can reach nearly 51 cm in height and weigh 2 kg. The rudd fish can live about 17 years. Egg laying is split and takes place from April to June. The female lays 100,000 to 200,000 eggs. Fishing for rudd is allowed all year round. It is easily identifiable by the diver: the silvery appearance of its body. A closer look at the position of the dorsal and ventral fins will then make the difference between the two species. If the ventral fins are placed further forward than the dorsal fin, it is the ratchet. The mouth, small, terminal, opens obliquely upwards. The back of the rattlesnake is brownish green, the sides and belly are silvery. The iris of the eyes is yellow with golden reflections. Dorsal, anal and pelvic fins are bright red in color.

The Sunbleak fish belongs to the Cyprinidae family. The usual size of sunbleak is 4 to 6 cm for a weight of about ten grams. The largest individuals can reach 9 cm. Its lifespan is about 2 years. It breeds between May and July. It is prohibited to fish for the sunbleak in white water from October to March, but in mixed and calm waters it can be fished all year round. The Sunbleak has a tapered, laterally compressed body, like the common bleak with which it is often confused. However, its body is more robust and less high than that of the latter. Its head is small with eyes that are excessively large in relation to the size of the head. Its lower jaw is longer than its upper jaw, giving its mouth a forward and upward orientation, indicating a fish that feeds preferentially on the surface. The caudal fin of sunbleak is particularly indented, its dorsal fin fits well behind the pelvic fin insertions. The sunbleak has an olive-brown back, bluishly reflective sides and a silvery belly. Its fins are light grey.

The three spined stickleback belongs to the Gasterosteidae family. The usual size of the three-spined stickleback is 4 to 5 cm for females, with males being a little smaller, about 3 to 4 cm. The life span of the three-spined stickleback varies from 3 to 5 years in natural environments and up to 8 years in captivity. Spawning season extends from March to June. Fertility is 200 to 400 eggs. It is fished from June to March. The three-spined stickleback is a tiny fish with a tapered, laterally compressed body. Its head is quite small, with fairly large eyes, and ends in a narrow mouth that is slightly oriented forward and upwards. The caudal peduncle of the three-spined stickleback is very narrow with a slightly indented caudal fin. The long dorsal fin is set far back, plumbing the anal fin. The dorsal fin of the three-spined stickleback is preceded by three spines, two long and one short, placed on the back of the fish. A curved spine also precedes the implantation of the anal fin. The pelvic fins are replaced by two thorns. The color of this fish is greenish brown for the back, with metallic reflections, silvery for the sides and whitish for the belly. Along the lateral line of the three-spined stickleback, there are no scales but bone plates called "badges", a kind of natural shielding that accompanies the thorny defenses of this fish.
