Prolonged thaw continues to make adjustments to fishing plans. Weather last week was March, with all the ensuing consequences. On the ice a lot of water, sometimes the ice became very dangerous. Rivers open water. In reservoirs and lakes have to look for a solid ice near the shore to exit when fishing.
Overall the weather was very comfortable for fishing.
On the behavior of underwater inhabitants were largely influenced by very low and unstable atmospheric pressure. Earlier in the week the fish seemed to fall into a long daze, but by Thursday the bite was adjusted. This was facilitated by the fact that the pressure is changed very slowly, and by the end of the week, gone to the growth, and the bite was good by the standards of this time of the year. Still need to mention two obvious features in Kleve at the end of the week. First, the phase of active biting time was very short and had, as a rule, at lunchtime or in the afternoon. Secondly, the fish had begun to migrate through the reservoirs.
BAIT IN THE THAW
The activity of the movement was so significant that sedentary fishing on abundant lured the holes did not bring the expected result. The biting, if and started, then took a very short time. In this situation, the winners were proponents of the active search of fish, which applies not only to perch but also roach with bream and pike. This is what has caused the dramatic difference in results, for example, poplavochnikov and certainyou. Those who prefer active fishing with baitless lures weather has created ideal conditions as a set of “open” holes, including previously lured.
IN RESERVOIRS
From this point of view very revealing information from these reservoirs, and as Ruzsky, Istrinsky reservoir. Almost all attempts to feed him lots and to fish in the wells at depths close to the maximum, or lead to a complete lack of bites, or to the random capture of ruffe, perch and small bream. The fish should look for smaller places, even the bream came on the top edge, but here, to keep his bait was problematic. As a result, redeployment to the depth of 4-6 m has resulted in one of the wells mixed and pecked small perch and skimmers.
Those anglers, who after dinner took a tackle with hell and walked through the “old” holes, managed not only to catch but also were awarded individual trophies is quite decent in the form of large bream.
Pike the situation is similar. Did not make sense to place gear and patiently wait for the release of the predator. With the catch were those who constantly changed not just the location zherlits, but by the depth, and, very importantly, horizons. The roach and the bream was noticeable that the active fish were up and high.
SEARCH ACTIVE FISH
It was especially noticeable movement of fish vertically in lakes and quarries. For example, in Kudinovskiy career perch in the coastal zone very quickly responded to a small moth, which was planted in the hole without the use of feeders. Literally five minutes later the fish began to grab the jig a foot above the bottom. By evening, the perch began to bite already at the lower edge of the hole, that is from under the ice. Approximately the same perch pecked on Klyazma Khimki and reservoirs. Here, except perch, and it is encouraging increased dramatically ruff. Ruff partially left the pit and went to the tables with a depth of 3-4 m, and at the Khimki reservoir in Strogino into even smaller places. The location of this fish are very local, and it was necessary to thoroughly explore a familiar area, to find wells with active fish. It is characteristic that among the ruffs were almost always attended by the roach, which was quickly moved to higher layers and preferred baitless bait.
ON FRESH WATER
On the rivers, in those places where it was still possible to reach safe ice, the fish showed itself or high up from the bottom, or near the shore. Fishing was very unpredictable due to the migration of fish and the difficulties of movement for anglers. Despite this, on small streams, in places with bakagami, wells and return flow, very fun to catch not only roaches, but also “revived” bleak. More or less stable all week was the biting minnows.
The fact that the fish in the reservoirs rose to greet the melt water coming through the open hole, confirmed by the data of Kleve in trout-sturgeon farms. The number of imported trout, as expected before the onset of the New year, start to decline sharply, so the owners of the farms began to fill the empty spaces with pike, whitefish and sturgeon.
In the first half of the week was observed characteristic of the “sponsors” painting. The trout were eating regularly on passive gear near the bottom, and the sturgeon – lured by the moth holes on the worm and pieces of herring. However, since Wednesday, trout was clearly to show a more active interest in the lures, weights and artificial worms. After lunch, the fish rose to the ice and attacked the lure as soon as she passed through the hole. But the most interesting thing was the sturgeon, which began occasionally to appear not from the bottom, and above it and even in Pology. The bite occurred in the unfed holes on the jig with a crank, and the bite was very true, that is, purposefully fish attacked the bait. The explanation I find in the oxygen coming from the melt water.
Totally unpredictable was the hunt for the SIG, let’s call it a collective whole mixture from white salmon, whitefish and whitefish, which were brought in the waters near Moscow. The specificity of the fishing was that the fish was very active. She did not linger long in one place and constantly moved around the pond, and water horizons. If the lure falls under the nose, then place a bite. The approach to hatch fish in one place did not make sense.
