Surely every fisherman is looking forward to the arrival of spring and the first warming in order to collect all their tackle and, finally, go on a long-awaited fishing trip. Since not every fishing lover prefers to freeze in the winter while fishing. Spring fishing is a completely different matter, nature and fish, tired of the cold and actively looking for food, are beginning to wake up. So what is the right way to fish in the spring, and what gear to use for this?
Instructions
Step 1
In late February - early March, the ice begins to gradually melt, at which time the fish feels the approach of spring. It is not at all necessary to fish from the ice at this time, there are a large number of open reservoirs that do not freeze all winter. Therefore, at the first warming, you can safely take a spinning rod and go fishing for the prey of a predator. Use a small white spinner as an attachment. Since in spring the fish is full of caviar and milk, it will not grab large prey, it simply will not fit in it. At this time, burbot and pike take well, for their catching you can use not only spinning, but also girders. For catching bream and roach at this time, the preferred bait is a sandwich with a worm or bloodworm.
Step 2
Open water fishing starts at the end of March (varies by region) At this time, the fish begins to come closer to the shore, to the heated areas. Therefore, the most successful tackle for spring fishing is still a float rod with a sliding float or blind rigging. Usually they use a five-meter telescopic fishing rod equipped with a 0.25 line. Since the water is still cloudy at this time of the year, there is no particular need for thin lines. The size of the hook is set depending on the size of the fish you will fish for.
Step 3
During the spring fishing season, use a live bait, it can be maggot, bloodworms, caddis flies or worms. If you want to make sandwiches, they spur the fish to an indispensable attack, thanks to their appetizing appearance. At the end of March, breeder, roach, chub, ruff and pike take well.
Step 4
April is considered the most successful month for spring fishing, it is at this time that you can catch the largest catch. This month, the fish begins to actively eat, as it has not yet replenished its fat reserves and is trying, as it should, to prepare for spawning. Pike and burbot are caught this month. Pike is caught with bait and bait, burbot - on the donk with a feeder. Bream and roach take more confidently. Bream already prefers not only bloodworms, but also eats worms with appetite.
Step 5
You shouldn't sit in one place for a long time and try to catch fish. Do not throw the spoon in the same place. If there is a fish in this place, then it will definitely grab the spoon (or try to do it) after a few casts. If there is no bite, feel free to move to another place. Do not forget that in spring the pike is kept mainly in shallow water.
