Handmade and fishing on small rivers

5

But it was necessary to begin collecting on fishing as first in the TV a nice lady said a friendly voice about the impending snow and then the frost again for twenty.

And soon MOE pleased, well, wait a night of heavy snowfall.

In short, it seems to catch us off the ice and to catch, if not dramatically spring break. Therefore, it is possible to talk about ice fishing.

And the topic of conversation will be fishing on a small river and specifically on the Small Kokshaga, which runs itself slowly and crosses almost the center of the city. But here we will talk about fishing on the edge, where the river channel narrows and the flow in these areas is stronger than in the city.

Features of fishing

Upstream, on the outskirts of the city, Malaya Kokshaga flows among small meadows and coppices. Its channel somewhat resembles a straight pipe where the river water runs around the pipe. Attractive bays with calm and a return flow, which is bordered by the main core flux, not so much. And these places attract both fish and fishermen.

In addition, despite the small size of the river, for it is quite rapid. Small and medium-sized jigs are just not able to get the bottom corners on the course in the middle horizons of the water column that can attract only horse-fish.

So the fishermen adapt. Often in the course are the tandems of two or jigs, from heavy jigs tied above the hook.

It is clear that fans of slim and light snap, too, find their seats, but most often they are caught in shallow water somewhere on the coastal shallows, where the flow rounds a bend and hits the opposite shore. And production are mostly small plotnicki that go on live bait.

However, as it turned out, catching such zivcovic of roaches there-shorouk for some unemployed fishermen has become a real job. A piece of bread with butter they make sitting all day in tents and jerking the silver detail on the tame or rather privedennyh.

Each roach is garliclike for ten or twelve rubles a piece. In our provinces, people live a wealthy life, not like in big cities. Therefore, such earnings are glad. But back to the specifics of fishing. Now in another aspect.

Nozzle

Fishing on our small urban and suburban river I started to learn recently and three probably reasons.

First, I bought a house almost on the outskirts, not far from the river. From the second floor window of my bedroom visible the scalloped edge of the forest on the banks of the river, that is, to get to the water and fishing is possible even on foot, at least on the bike, sometimes nice and helpful.

Especially to places only ten or fifteen minutes to pedal, and my to the far sandy Bank in the woods, where hardly see any fishermen, half an hour of leisurely Cycling.

The second reason is the lack of time in the far fishing. If earlier, in the early years and even after the army, often dominated by the principle of “if work interferes with fishing – leave your work”, that in our difficult time, so that’s out.

The priority of work and other responsibilities. All your home and garden at home. So the morning of the meet on the river and get back to work does not pose any difficulties.

And the third reason is that, as it turned out, this morning near the river can bring a dozen big skimmers and platic, especially when you use corn “Bonduelle”, which feeds the weakness of this roach-roach, which is on the Volga is not ashamed to catch.

In posledeistvie time, and this is usually the beginning of summer, the feeder on the river and can produce good catches. But it is necessary to study the river and its features, however, like any other body of water.

Have not seen passing over the ice angler with a package of Soroki pretty good condition, at least not zhivtsovy format. And this time I caught on bloodworms only small roach. In our other meeting with this lucky angler we were on the ice close to each other.

But I do not bite, he may from time to time pulled out of the hole good of the roaches there. Since they were introduced, as they say, word for word…

It turned out that Volodya catches on brown bread “Darnitskiy”, and all winter, starting with ice the first to the last. And sorosky says, sometimes Chub per kilogram and skimmers. Live and learn.

It would seem that the bread is not very suitable nozzle for the winter, but then you realize that this near the river fish lure in summer and winter is often one bread, porridge. As the fish are not accustomed to such a diet?

Read the story “My sad experience with businessmen from hunting”

This is our distinguished experts working at fishing shops and businesses, demonstratively dumped it into the hole “Sensas”. A peasant with a fishing rod from the neighboring village of senkino the money better than a bottle of vodka Yes, buy a loaf of bread. And currently enough and the fish will…

Tackle Volodya was a bait-balalaika with long soft nod and weighty “Uralkaly”, above which was attached a hook. And the jig and the hook Volodya was always placed only at the lump of black bread. No bloodworms, maggots and even wormwood. Amazing consistency, besides giving good results.

My handmade

Lessons learned from Volodya, who, apparently, is a pensioner, as all the time on the river, no matter how you come here, I decided to bring to tackle some of its additions.

First, from jigs that I had mounted on foam in the Soviet times, I decided to do besttelki if not, then at least more attractive lures with additional moving parts. And it’s beads, which I begged my wife for a candy bar, of course.

That’s practical… will Ask my fish… These jigs I have provided a fishing rod with a thinner line, but for strong currents I’ve taken the classic asmatico, massive and heavy, and tied above the hook.

But the hook I also decided to implement “attraction” in the form of red beads-beads. And hook will be more steadily held in a horizontal position, if you move the beads to ringlet forearm, and red beads combined with a lump of bread look better.

But how to attach the beads to he flew off the hook during movement in water and bites? Somehow not interested in this question, as purchased and received from the online store ready bezmetallny jig where the bead was fixed a plastic tube is put over the hook.

But these end sleeves are not always securely hold the movable element besttelki. Sometimes the beads fly and lure, you might say, ruined.

Read the “January Yauza: a mystery or is it a lesson”

I decided to go his own way and found a simple and reliable method of mounting beads on the jig. For this crochet pierced a piece of Bicycle inner tube and then cut the protruding edges around the hook.

These edges left on the hole size of the beads, a little bit with the stock. This retainer holds the beads securely and allows you to make a very simple jig with a moving bait on the hook bead.

The angle of the suspension, of course, not like besttelki, but in active play jig also will play well, attracting fish additional movable element.

Another home-made, you can say, and not homemade at all, and the right combination of factory finished components from winter and summer gear.

The creation of ice feeder pushed me nostalgic for summer fishing. In addition, my tackle is supplied with a trough in summer at the feeder. And it means a lot in catching the flow. Of course, this is not a feeder, but the signs are there English donkey – feeding trough, quivertip, fishing rod, reel and bell.

The last element of the feeder – a rattling bell – not all love. Some of it is annoying. But I like voiced bite, apparently, because of the night fishing burbot with bells on zakidushek.

As a basis I took the winter fishing Kola from the company Akara. It has surround an open coil with trigger brake and the likeness of the clutch. In addition, carbon whip strong and hard, just under the trough. Handle warm, neoprene. And there is a stand with sharp pins at the ends to securely install a ground rod in the hole.

Read the material “Density loading of cartridges is set to”

For alerter bite – quivertip I used koruny nod too Akara with a bright ball on a spring. Basic scaffold set of fluorocarbon with a thickness of 0.2 mm. Trough made by myself from bottles from analog film.

Maybe someone can remember the times when we photographed DSLR camera and the images ordered in the Express services? Here in this jar I burned holes and made the feeder.

Above the trough tied the leash of fluorocarbon with a diameter of 0.11 mm with two hooks. Now my strategy of fishing in our small river looks like.

At depth and for put a Donk and bushes and in the bays of the coastal strip catch on a jig tied above the hook. Nibble on a Donk can be seen and heard from afar, no wonder I made this analogue of the feeder.
