Fishing with rolled oats is a proven method of fishermen. Crucians, bream, rudd very quickly react to such a nozzle, fiddle with it, taste it and, finally, swallow it along with the hook. But one drawback spoils the whole picture - the nozzle in the form of dry flakes is quickly washed off with water. Hence the conclusion - it is necessary to prepare rolled oats for fishing in some special way.
Preparation of rolled oats for fishing
There are 3 ways to prepare oatmeal:
- steaming;
- brewing;
- kneading dough.
Steaming. Take a small strainer, pour some oatmeal flakes into it. Boil water. Pour boiling water over the flakes for 10-15 seconds. Shake the strainer to drain any excess water. Transfer the steamed rolled oats to a sheet of paper, flatten in one layer and cover with another sheet. Place a weight (1.5-2 kg) on top. Let the flakes cool. Steamed oatmeal sticks more firmly to the hook due to the natural paste.
Seasoned fishermen pay attention to the quality of the paper used. It should be high so that the flakes do not overheat and are well dehydrated. So that the output is steamed flakes, and not sticky porridge.
Brewing. Cook oatmeal oatmeal into a thick porridge. The recipe is not at all similar to the traditional one used by supporters of a healthy lifestyle. The recipe here is special. Place a pot of water on a fire. While boiling, wrap a small amount of flakes in a gauze bag, and as soon as the water boils, put it in boiling water. Cook for 20-30 seconds, then remove from water and let cool slightly. In a slightly cooled form, remember (knead) the flakes directly in the bag, trying to give the mass uniformity. As it cools, it will become more and more sticky. On a fishing trip, all you have to do is pinch off small pieces from the lump and put them on the hook.
Kneading the dough. Grind in a coffee grinder or pass through a meat grinder a small amount of flakes (you can add other cereals - pearl barley, millet, etc.) and knead a regular dough in warm water. It should be viscous and dense at the same time. Avid fishermen advise using egg yolk instead of water and adding a drop or two of an odorous substance - valerian, cologne, essential oil. They say that the fish will just tear such a bait, so much she likes it.
How to fish for hercules
Hercules bait is usually prepared 6-8 hours before fishing, then by the beginning of fishing it is quite wet and firm. Separate the fragment from a pea and put it on the hook, closing the sting. What happens to the rolled oats in the water? Being on the hook, it gradually begins to soak, its small particles fall off, forming a small unclear cloud around. The smell quickly spreads through the water, and the fish swims up to this place. First, she picks up what has settled on the bottom or floats in the water. Then he notices a large piece of food. If you guess right and at this time pull up the line, the fish, fearing to lose food, will certainly bite.
You can toss a few oatmeal peas into your fishing area as complementary food, then the likelihood that the fish will quickly swim to you will increase. By the way, dry flakes are also suitable for this purpose.
After that, real gambling fishing will begin for you. Remember, the longer you fish for rolled oats in one place, the more fish will gather here, expecting such delicious and aromatic food. Even in the "dead" period, when there is no bite, there are a couple of gourmets who floated to the smell of delicious melting lumps of rolled oats.
