The tasty vendace fish is found in the clear water of the lakes of Karelia, the Baltic states, and also in the bays of the Baltic Sea. It was even served at the royal table, and the crowned persons took care that the populations of this species of whitefishes were not transferred.
It is necessary
- - fishing rod;
- - fishing line;
- - spinners;
- - bait.
Instructions
Step 1
The vendace primarily feeds on plankton, so your fishing will be more successful in this microscopic aquatic habitat. The fish spawns in late autumn and early winter. "Tsar's herring" (as the vendace has long been called) prefers to settle in reservoirs with cold water and a depth exceeding the average value. The fish especially loves a large number of reefs and pitfalls.
Step 2
In spring, late autumn and winter, the "royal herring" feeds on small fish, moths and small smelt. At this time, it is better to catch vendace with live bait. In summer it is very difficult to catch this fish with a float rod. This is possible only if single vendaces fight off the flock. The bulk of the "royal herring" will avoid your traps.
Step 3
Vendace is best caught from autumn to late spring. At this time, several schools of this fish gather in the reservoirs; in the cold period, the "royal herring" lays down on the bottom and begins to spawn. From autumn to spring, you can catch not only vendace, but also predators that feed on this fish. These include salmon, burbot, palia, whitefish, pike perch and pike.
Step 4
Use live bait as bait: larvae, eggs of other fish, fry, crustaceans, bloodworms, leeches. Live fish are especially effective in winter and spring. You can also use a larger bait, in any case, a bite from autumn to spring should be successful. In winter, catch the "royal herring" in places with a rocky bottom, extensive slopes and great depths (from five meters).
Step 5
To feed the fish, throw bait into the hole, which includes equal shares of dried daphnia and wet sand. You can add egg white or a little milk powder to the mixture. The bait will improve not only the bite of vendace, but also other whitefish. The rod should be short, with a subtle nod and a soft whip.
Step 6
Use a very light tackle, the thickness of the line should be approximately 0, 12–0, 15 mm. The spoon should also be small, no more than 5 cm. Give preference to the silver color. Above the spinner, tie a small amount of short leads from an even thinner line. In addition to live bait, you can use very small "nymphs" and "flies" of different colors as bait.
