Chekhon is predominantly a freshwater fish of the carp family. As a rule, it strays into flocks. The body has an elongated shape and thin sides. The lateral line is curved at the level of the pectoral fin. Habitat: Baltic, Black, Aral, Caspian seas, lakes and reservoirs.
Instructions
Step 1
The most interesting period of catching sabrefish is the season of insect emergence. After spawning and short-term illness, the fish selects areas with sharp drops in bottom depth. During this period, schools of fish often congregate in shallow water and around islets, waiting for insects to fall into the water.
Step 2
Watch out for the dam. When the upper dam is opened, the stream of water washes away many small animals that feed on the sabrefish. At this time, the bite rises. For big fish use hooks 1-4 and long fore-end. Plant several insects at once.
Step 3
Flocks are formed according to the principle of age. Mixed schools are extremely rare, so if you come across two or three small fish, the rest, most likely, will not differ in size.
Step 4
Catch fish by taking a seat on the protruding section of the shore. Cast your rod as far as possible. Thanks to good eyesight and refraction of water, sabrefish can see you on the shore and get away from danger. For such cases, you will need a match rod and sinking monofilament. To submerge it in water, drown the rod tip. The preferred diameter of the main line is 0, 14-0, 15 mm, the leader - 0, 12-0, 14 mm.
Step 5
In summer, after sunset, the sabrefish sinks to the bottom and feeds there, approaching the shore, where the depth reaches 2-4 m. In such cases, use a blind rig and a fly rod, reaching a length of 6-8 mm. Place a firefly on the float. Adjust the loading depending on the speed of the current. For fast currents, use several weights spaced apart from each other. Place heavier weights on top, lighter weights at the bottom. Use maggots and dung worms as bait. Before fishing, carry out the bait, making balls of loam and maggots. Scatter balls over the pool where the fish is.
