All the secrets about ruff

7

The fate of East of hunters and fishermen is that not always lady Luck accompanies them in the campaigns, and maybe some of them prefer warm cozy apartments, especially when the threshold of severe frost or wolf howling snowstorm, and the snowy night streets if anyone will meet, only brother of passion, rushing to the first bus.

In those days, with a dashing ruff weather just refuses anglers in hospitality: is the jig with crimson moth to touch the bottom, as it follows the steady pressure of nod — so bite large, Matera ruff.

When the bright tip of the nod tremble, rocking, like a fever, it means that the fish is small, but with cutting you still should hurry up, otherwise you will have to extract deeply swallowed the bait, exposed to the danger of a painful prick on the dorsal spines or Gill spikes.

AN IMPORTANT LINK IN THE BIOLOGY OF WATER BODIES

Who said that ruff ugly that it’s a gray, nondescript fish? It is not so! Out of water, he takes Bravo tail “under the hood”, widen the Gill cover and raises the dorsal fin, exposing your piercing weapons. Fairy dragon, and only, though small.

In the snow large ruff like a barrel full of caviar, he seems to be lit from within with a soft yellow light like the amber nugget. His big eyes with a purple tint sparkle like a young newly-fallen snow in the bright sun.

There is a common opinion that the ruff — fish harmful, weed, destroying the eggs and young of more valuable species, undermining food base of water bodies.

This is wrong! In nature there is nothing superfluous, and there are only broken links in the biological chain, and the reason for this is the man, or rather, its unsustainable economic activities.

Give a normal spawn pike, not ousite her eggs sharp discharge of water; no rakes-nets spawning perch; not barite burbot during the spawning and ruffe, but for the most part large, decent fishing interest and they will be in the water as much as should be without prejudice to other underwater creatures.

A few decades ago, the reservoirs of the Volga cascade, on the Oka river and other large bodies of water was observed mass mortality of ruff, like that memorable plague, which decimated cancers in all of Europe. By the way, about what really happened with ruffs, ichthyologists still silent.

But the result of this phenomenon was a reduction in the number of perch and the rapid degeneration of burbot due to the shortage of the main feed, not the environment, as is commonly believed, because for the period stood many plants, and from chemical fertilizers almost abandoned in favor of organics.

The true angler, no matter how annoyed he ruffs while catching other fish, will never throw barbed malomerki around the hole to the delight of the crow, gently remove the brush from the hook and released in their native element.

If you’re lucky and lured the hole will welcome the “Royal” thick egg-bearing ruffs, then it is better to put separately from the other fish tank — this is one of the important secrets subsequent preparation of the real fisherman’s soup.

GOOD BAIT

Besides cooking, ruffe pose to anglers some practical interest. This is a great live bait, especially in cold weather — late fall, winter and early spring. Essential ruffs in the hunt for burbot in the depths of the water, and in the summer heat on blackheads because, like both the predator and ruffs very active in the dark, and their high mobility on the hook for zhivcova tackle at night is an important attraction factor contributing to hunting success.

If the pond is an abundance of small Surat, perch and bass, which is constantly disturbed by imitation fish, but a respectable trophy is very real, then there should also be “charged” hooks ruffs — they are not for “young teeth.”

And do not particularly trust the experienced that prickly bait fish predators dislike, on the contrary, there were cases that even peaceful bream swallowed brushes, attracted by the worms on the hooks left unattended market.

Also no need for barbarism, when intended for live bait ruff scissors cut barbed dorsal spines, thorns are not a problem for a large predator.

SUBTLETIES OF BEHAVIOR “PRICKLY”

First of all, the ruff is a fish twilight, unable to stand bright light. That’s why it is better than others caught in the storm. On Sunny days, ruffs, especially large ones, descend to great depths, or lurk in the shadows of the steep ledges of the bottom-Svalov, but if not go into the darkness, then completely lost the activity: at the clear water, looking into the hole, I have repeatedly seen swarming at the bottom of the feed bloodworms and absolutely indifferent to his favorite stern ruffs. But once the sun disk to get closer to the horizon, like a boring picture at the bottom is replaced by a cheerful feast, and from the continuous bites getting hot.

Large ruffs, you can catch and at noon, of course, at great depth, or sitting on the ice in the shadows of the high, forested banks. Sure to be biting in those places where the thickness of the snow cover maximum, the holes should be carefully darken ice and snow, and to catch through the small hole done with a thin stick.

Ruff — fish purely bottom, though prefer bottom hard, sandy or pebbly. And if, for example, perch, roach and even bream at certain moments can be found throughout the water column, then ruffs with the deterioration of the living conditions on the deep move to shallow water, avoiding silted areas of slow water.

Ceteris paribus ruffs tend to flowing water, but absolutely can not tolerate a strong, turbulent currents. The nearest and much larger relative of the common ruff — ruff-Nosara — lives only in clean waters with a good and constant flow characteristics.

EFFECTIVE TACKLE

Tackle for catching ruffs should be created based on the type of pond and characteristics of the fish, which to a large extent interrelated. First of all, we have to imagine how the fish takes the bait.

He does it quickly, on the fly. Lips ruff, strong, grip of a bulldog, so if the bait is large, then ruff it just cuts off with impunity, not getting to the hook, and the compact nozzle almost instantly disappears in the womb of a fish — then try to remove the lure or hook!

For this reason, experienced anglers for catching ruff and the same greedy Rotana make a special jig with a big body and small but with a long shank hook. It is easy to put two or three small bloodworm or loosely install one large stocking.

Of course, such heavy bait is better to use on the course and at great depth, and then only in periods of high fishing activity. Sometimes, ruff fed or overfed by the angler and just recklessly “shakes” the bait and the hook comes infrequently.

In this case, success will bring the use of light having a small inertia snap that will exclude the failure of the bait with the hook, and ruff will be forced, no matter how fed he was, to take deep in the mouth of the bait with a definite outcome for him. These snap-ins, allowing still “work” and at great depths, and visible for two.

The first type of equipment is a combination of a fishing line of the lure of coloured plastic (there are a lot of options of color solutions as an important attraction factor) and is located above the lead weight, which weight and distance from bait selected according to the conditions of fishing and fishing activity. The plastic bait should also have a great body, preventing deep ingestion.

These jigs are molded in a greased metal form from molten coloured plexiglass, or the hook is glued in the machined and polished body, the hole for the fishing line burned with a hot needle or drill is done.

Read the “Jig head”

Some craftsmen go another way and make such bait in the form of a casting of colored bottle glass (they already have noticeable weight) or apply the formulations used in dental prosthetics, adding to the particular dye.

Another kind of equipment normally used only on the course, involves the installation of fairly heavy end weights or a small trough-thimble located above, 10-20 cm long, up to 1.5 meters, a leash with a jig similar to that described above.

The trick configuration of such gear is that the line on the for rent for one or two meters more than the actual depth at the place of fishing. When biting fish pulls only the resulting arc from the line without feeling the weight of the sinkers.

Of course for fishing success around the head is a reliable recorder of bites — sensitive nod, the elasticity of which must match the weight of equipment and power flow. Better to use nods, suggesting the possibility of changes in a wide range of their length and elasticity, according to the terms of fishing.

Among fishermen winter roads, there are many masters who prefer to catch any fish, including ruff, without any bait on the hook, luring them only a bare jig with various artificial podsobkami — kambikambi, thread, “heel”, with Styrofoam peanuts, foam cutting etc.

It’s aerobatics in the fishing, tackle and fishing techniques are complex and are honed by years of hard work on reservoirs of various types. While each fish has its own innovative approaches.

This in a nutshell not tell. It is appropriate only to add that ruff is a frequent trophy on the hook for small baits-okunevka, — so manifest his predatory inclinations.

BAIT AND BAIT

For most anglers the most acceptable, profitable and least troublesome will be to catch ruffs using any bait: bloodworm, pieces of worms, fresh meat, liver or lung, unsalted pork fat. The success of such fishing, of course, brings complementary feeding small moth, which allows you to collect the schooling fish under the hole in huge quantities.

Lower the better groundbait feeder and open it on the bottom or a few inches from him — not timid ruff. But it is important not to overdo it as “prickly” to eat live food very quickly and pretty soon be filled.

It is appropriate to apply the bait in small portions, the weaker the bite. On for alternatively, bloodworms pre-deep freeze (up to the “glass” state) and directly in the trough of the next portion of ground, flexing a finger.

Read material “For burbot in the winter”

The trough at the bottom is not emptied, and is set directly on the ground just upstream from the working hole. Content in the water will gradually thaw out, creating attract fish track. In this case, significantly reduces the consumption of expensive bait.

FISHING TECHNIQUE

Techniques for catching ruffs monotonous and involves all manipulations with the gear close to the bottom. If fishing with stationary equipment maintained in standby mode for the fish to bite, the tackle is useful occasionally to raised and lowered to the bottom, creating the effect of the escape of the feed.

When fishing on mormyshka only give a good result measured jiggle it on the bottom with occasional taps on the ground, raising a cloud of turbidity, which strongly excites the fish.

But most importantly — search fish. Upon detection of a large jamb ruff usually bite so recklessly that any additional methods of its triggering can be simply superfluous.

Well-deserved reward for the angler, who spent a few hours the biting icy wind whipped up barbed Blizzard vortex will be a wonderful Ershova ear, which has been valued by scholars no less sterlet.

Caught enough of the ruff in “Uralskiy” pot, well the rest of the day to spend fishing the fire in a cozy copse, eat flavorful soup under it is useful at this point stack. With floors warm sheepskin coat thrown open then the souls, hearts, drops the shell life’s worries and thin filaments intimate conversations themselves are woven into a durable fabric of a friendly Union.

This is the mystery of winter fishing in Russia, for centuries the ordinary occurring in any bad weather, and break it can neither noisy hordes of swimmers, nor the stench of gasoline motor boats.

And fish soup is not just hot soup, and the magic feelings of youth and strength, the miraculous elixir of health. And a trust is usually the oldest in the company of the fishermen, who, as the Keeper of tribal secrets, the shaman will walk around the pot, something to enclose, to stir, to try, clicked his tongue with a sly squint, and again to take in one to him a slave process.

THE SECRET SOUP OF RUFFS

The main secret lies in the fact, the form in which the catch will be “presented” to the pot. In no case should not be placed ruffs with other fish and how to process them (clean, gut, rinse mucus) before placing in boiling water. For winter ruff it too, and fish slime and scales, which dissolves in boiling, give ear thickness and extra, unique flavor.

Will not damage the ear and a few peas allspice, and two or three leaves of Laurel, but in the summer it is better to dry leaves of black currant and cherry, and only add them — the resulting flavor and aroma are hard to describe.

Cooking ruffs to until they are completely mushy, and small bones to settle to the bottom of the pot. We just have to give ear to settle and clear up, then lightly pritrusit it on top of dried dill. And scooped it right out of the pot large fishing mug and eat until all the body can’t break a fever. Yes don’t forget a slice of fragrant rye bread!

Essential ruffs and for making this a double or triple fish soup — the top fishing of the culinary arts. Digested the first portion ruffs and otzivite through cheesecloth or sieve into a free pot.

Then, in the same broth boil the second portion and again otzivite. And only the third time in the resulting thick brew with spices laid pieces of large fish. As experience shows, only pike is in harmony with Ershov fat, giving a triple ear, a refined taste and aroma.

Deeply mistaken are those who believe that healing the ear can be done at home on the stove, they say, would be the fish. And it’s not just the haze, which gives the ear with a fire, and in water from melted snow or from the hole in the ice.

This water, even boiling, retains between molecules a special relationship, as in ice crystals, which has beneficial effects on the body. And of course, it’s still in that special state of mind when all the action happens in nature and in the circle of people close to you.
