It is not difficult to determine this period. Snow fell, but nature did not wake up. The river was dark gray, and the bank, overgrown with bare bushes and branches, did not inspire optimism for the first fishermen who were already sitting at the source. But is it all in vain? No, now you can go fishing. Let's define together the term that we cannot return home in peace. I give examples of the rivers in which I live and most often fish, explaining all the necessary nuances. Choose a fishing spot.The floodplain of my river has a flat and shallow left bank with aquatic vegetation at a distance of 12-15 m from the water's edge.The depth of this distance does not matter.The right embankment is steep, thickets of aquatic plants begin at 3-5 meters.Everything is much deeper here.Which beach to choose?Warm water is found in shallow bays off the northern coast. Therefore, a flatter and warmer left eye with aquatic vegetation away from the water's edge at shallow depths is preferable, which gives the fish a sense of stability (given the transparency of the water). In addition to the above, probably the first thing to look out for is the presence of a hot water gutter.Of course, this is just a general discussion. In other words, a guide to action. I think almost every fisherman in their area knows where each year is the best season. Don't philosophize, rape her first! How to fish In my opinion, the feeder is the same device with which Sam never leaves the river empty. And here it is appropriate to say a few words about the minimum required equipment. And in this feeder, first of all, there are rods of a certain quality. Personally, I use the Pride trunk from Flagman TM. This heavy-duty 3.6 meter feeder can handle feeders up to 125g. Lightweight and stable, with three interchangeable ends and different hardness, it is suitable for all fishing conditions from standing water to strong currents and provides excellent visual control.Ultimately, the fishing process requires tracking the most sensitive spring bites from sleeping fish. Since not everyone can afford the luxury of branded fishing rods, I would like to say that you can grab a cheap lure or rod. We fished in shallow water near the shore, so a single 3kg breaking load (using Salmo Evolution 0.17 diameter) was very suitable. It is not necessary to apply it thickly. With the help of this line I made a rather long cast, and in the "saddle" I dug out hard fish from an 80-gram feeder without a pushing leash! Anyone who can afford it should try to grab his rope. I have now switched from Berkley to Fireline and in some cases I can say that this is the best choice for grabbing a feeder. Despite their thinness, the braids are strong and durable, and most importantly, there is one quality that is very important for this type of grip. Very sleek! Feeder Hook I used a Gamakatsu 16 F-21 series hook. It is very thin and durable and can be used for large fish. They are also perfect for catching blood cells, which were the best baits for this period. Go to FeedersOpen. I used a feeder with two leading skis connected by a wire mesh at the bottom. Above is a cylindrical box. When these feeders are lifted off the ground, the lead skis act like hydrofoils, and the net between them acts as a stabilizer, making it easier to lift the feeder off the ground and tilt it. The gutter connects to the main line. At a distance of 10-12 cm, knit a loop to which the loop is attached, like a loop in a loop. In clear water, the use of side bifurcations or triplets is considered unacceptable. A separate topic in the conversation about the feeder jump. In the era of clean water, fluorocarbons are mainly used. The material itself, I would not call transparent, but it is practically invisible in water. For Porter, I used the Berkeley Vanishing transition. Since this line is invisible, the diameter doesn't matter. When fishing with a bowstring, a loop with a diameter of 0.18 mm and a breaking load of 2.9 kg is used. Lines of this diameter are not so chaotic and are twisted by the flow of water. The length of the rope hook is 50-80 cm. The stronger the current, the longer the strip. A movable tablet weighing 0.3 to 0.5 g was placed on the rope. I will explain this below. Feeder bait. I don't think I saw any insect bites, magic, etc. During those 10 days in March that I spent with a feeder in the river. - At the moment, my bait is a pure worm, not a sandwich. First, we put small foam rubber balls of white paint on the rings, then we put 2-3 worms on them and plant rings on them (that is, they pierce the body under the head and on the tail). I hid the sting in the tail of the last beetle. The foam balls on the hooks are able to trap different layers of water by lifting the hooks in the sump with their ends to a limited height above the rope fibers. In the flow, the granules restrict the free vibration of the belt. I can't say for sure why styrofoam attracts so many fish. I know for sure that the red blood on the white background above the ball glows so brightly that neither the cockroach nor the mullet give up in the spring (these fish often make up the majority of the fish I catch). Also, if you throw the bait to a certain depth on an invisible line, you will not remain indifferent, because the fish will see the bait from a very long distance. The way it enters the bait is determined by the presence of a large number of juveniles, which, in the traditional way of growing these microscopic lures, pull the caterpillar by the tail and force the upper part of the feeder to automatically fix the wrong bite... This leads to improper lifting of the rod from the bottom and a decrease in fishing in the net. Feeding for feeders »We mainly use winter baits with betaine, which work well in our regions. Ingredients: 1) base 500g, 2) milk powder - 1/2 cup, 3) cinnamon - 1 teaspoon, 4) cocoa - 1 tablespoon, 5) ground dog food - 1 glass, 6) binder - ground oatmeal , 7) if you are too lazy and overdo it with water, the gutter is sandy.
IMPORTANT NOTE: For the consistency of the composition: the bait must be removed from the bath within the first 10 minutes. After the first throw, raise the trough after 3-4 minutes, regardless of whether it was bitten, in order to determine the interval of "turning off" the trough in the mixture of baits. Judging whether the composition is loose enough or vice versa based on the nature and amount of bait remaining in the feeder and adding or using the popular bread macula in cold water will not give adequate results. It looks like a window putty, especially if it is consistent. Now that you're ready to fish, all you have to do is remove the spikes in order to get to the exact spot you choose. Now it's not that hard because you don't need long throws. If you can't believe your eyes, use an additional stick with a marker. Once everything is fixed, you will always have a reliable reference ... With these simple skills and tools, you can safely escape the silent competition with fellow fishermen who surround you with the usual donkey fence. There is only one feeder! So I prefer the best gear as I don't mind mules. Try it, you might like it! Based on the above, the spring set for the feeder looks like this. - Tested high performance rods in the range of 125-150 gr. - Reels EU 3500-4000 from "Line Winder" - Tape with breaking load 7 - Round section or special rods for fishing feeders like "Albacore" with a diameter of 0.17-0.12 mm kg. I wish all Brotherhood success in the new fishing season!
