Winter fishing – is romance. For those who regret looking at the fishermen, are located on a winter pond, and do not understand what fun it is, so one can only sympathize. In addition, it is outdoor recreation on a frosty day, it is also a direct contact with the fish, because pulling it out of the wells have to hand, and a valuable sense for a fisherman.
For those who just started his journey in the fishing, ice fishing – just ideal. And the gear is smaller and more elegant, and the fish closer. Significantly, in the winter the fish harder to scare off: if the summer she sees everything that happens on the beach in the winter it prevents a layer of ice.
First, forget about the coat, boots and fur hat. It is certainly warm, but inconvenient. This is, after all, a kind of sport, so clothing should be sport. Add to a fur mittens, without which a hard frost is needed. Ideal – a warm fleece bib and jacket with hood, and complete picture of the wool cap or baseball cap is warm – it is particularly useful in the snowy days, because it does not snow gets in my eyes.
Particular attention should be paid to footwear. In thaw the snow is a lot of water, and get his feet wet in the winter – not a problem, then canceled the traditional felt boots, replaced by the advent of modern specialized footwear.
Even if you include all the details in the clothes, it is still the main attribute of fishing gear are. Going on fishing, it is important to prepare for it properly: check the bait fishing line, make sure that the spoons are enough for successful fishing.
The most common type of fishing in winter – fishing tackle (small bob most diverse forms of tin, copper, lead or tungsten). Fishing rod and there must be smooth and easy, from a material that can be easily hold a bare hand – it’s more convenient to play tackle, which is important for this kind of fishing. Winter fishing tackle caught roach, perch, dace, podleschika, silver bream, chub, closer to spring – Ide. The most common fishing fishing tackle with a nozzle moth, but you can stick and pieces of worm, fly grubs.
At the bait fish as imitation fish – fishing gear, consisting of three parts: rails, a spring release with a flag and a coil with bracket. When the fish swallows the bait fishing line stretched and sets in motion the coil. As a result, the catch “shoots”, and rises up box – it is a sign for the fisherman, it was time to pull the water its prey.
The most active form of winter fishing – trolling. Winter spoon should play and when submerged, and with the rise, and when the rod stroke. The center of gravity shifted to the winter spinners warhead, while the line was attached to the tail end of the spinners. This provides a shift from the vertical spinner in motion, in this case, the spoon and handle swings from side to side.
Fishing on the balance beam differs little from fishing, trolling. The difference between imitation and a balance – in body shape and proportions. The necessary condition for the balancer, as is clear from the title – a perfect balance, in limbo rocker obliged to take a strictly horizontal position. For a start it is important to understand how to move the bait. Experimenting better at shallow depth, to see how the bait is set, is rejected, move in different directions. Bespattering rod and struck several times on the bottom, the bait should be short, sharp movements to raise higher and higher, as the fish follow the bait, and begins to take when the rocker is raised above.
And last, float fishing is not much different from the summer fishing, but the important point here is that the float in the winter is not at the level of water and a bit lower, and at biting fish “puts” float to the surface.
To come to the river and just start drilling a hole – not the best solution. First you need to choose the place, starting with an assessment of shoreline features and currents. The most striking feature of the place of glue, of course, can be considered a large number of fishermen. This important feature of the winter fishing, because the summer to come to the fisherman and not scare off the fish it is practically impossible, and in winter through the thickness of the ice fish can not see that happening on the surface. The second feature – a turn or a sharp change in the width of the channel. Often in places turning the channel is found the opposite for the outside of the channel, and the inside – a sandbank. The sharp kink shoreline, headlands, jutting out of the water snags, reverse flow – all that stands out from the pictures, can speak about that here somewhere feeding predators.
Winter fishing – a fishing pleasure and not for production. This is an opportunity to enjoy nature and solitude. The most important thing – going for ice fishing, properly prepare and tune in for luck, and remember that ice can go only when it reaches a thickness of 5 cm, which is usually in late November – December.
