Here’s a photo of a NooChi I caught back in November 2007 whilst fishing for Bass on a small stream in JinJu, down South.

What exactly is a NooChi, Steve? It looks sort of like what we call a sucker back where I grew up:

Do people here eat them? What do they hit on? How do you fish for them?
Details, man, details!
I don’t know much about these things, it was the first and only one I caught. I caught this one on a watermelon GY Fat Ika on a HUGE 6/0 offset hook.
I now that the guys over on Anglerstown catch these fish using fly fishing tactics.
Nomad….it looks exactly like a sucker that you talked about, in the UK we have a very similar fish called the barble.
Those things get eaten, boiled up in a chigae style soup. And yes, they seem to be amoung the favorites for flyfishers here in Korea.
What fish here in Korea do they NOT eat?
Bass
Steve,
Unfortunately that’s no longer true. Someone told me you can even buy fresh bass at E-Mart now. Koreans definitely have caught on to bass, both the fishing and eating aspects.
Nomad,
I am still to see Bass being sold in stores, but I did give a nice 16 inch bass to an old Korean guy who wanted to take it home for his wife to cook……
Now, I agree fully about people fishing for bass. Over the last 2~3 years I have noticed a huge increase in bass fishermen.
What’s up with all of the comments? You guys think this is the Lost Nomad or something?
That is one cool looking fish Steve. How big can they get?
Not sure exactly, but this one I caught a good sized one….I’m guessing they get a little bigger than this one
