For a real fisherman, salmon with an average weight of 6-8 kg is a serious contender; they prepare for fishing in advance and rather carefully. Nothing should impede successful fishing, so every little thing is carefully thought out.
Instructions
Step 1
Salmon are anadromous fish, they come to rivers only for spawning, and constantly live in the sea or lake. It is worth fishing for salmon with a spinning rod, although if you wish, you can use a running donk or fly fishing (with special flies that are attached to a hook).
Step 2
If fishing with a spinning rod is preferable, use a rigid two-handed rod, which will be especially appropriate when pulling fish out of the water. The reel of the fishing rod must have a winding diameter of at least 90-100 mm to accommodate 100-125 m of line with a diameter of 0.5 mm.
Step 3
The most important thing when fishing for salmon is choosing the right bait. It must create certain vibrations in the water for the fish to notice it corny. Practice has shown that a heavy wavering lure is best suited. Its color does not matter, although most often in summer and early autumn, fishermen choose lures made of brass or red copper, and in winter and spring they use silver lures.
Step 4
When choosing a lure, consider the depth and strength of the current of the river in which you are going to fish. The bait thrown across the stream should touch the bottom below it at an angle of 45 °.
Step 5
To fly salmon, prepare a sturdy two-handed rod, such as a split bamboo rod. The length of the rod is at least 4.5 m, the reel should be small in diameter and hold at least 50 m of line with a diameter of 0.5 mm.
Step 6
For catching salmon with a running bottom, place a small bunch of earthworms on hooks # 12-13, although pieces of dead fish can also be used.
Step 7
Pay special attention to the rod casting technique. Cast with both hands, distribute the load equally, help yourself with the movements of the body.
Step 8
Pick up the rate of posting according to the type of bait used. Stick to a medium pace. You can make a short pause, which is also called a jump. Without stopping the rotation of the reel, lower and immediately raise the rod. Then make several jerks up and to the sides. Such a maneuver provokes more bites than regular straight wiring. However, watch the situation, the main thing is not to delay the pause and not to lower the spoon to the bottom.
Step 9
After hooking, pull or pull the fish out of the water. If the salmon is not large, up to 3 kg, it is not difficult to pull it out - just loosen the friction of the reel and pull the fish towards you.
Step 10
When playing large salmon, keep your cool. It will take substantial physical strength to stop the movement of a large fish. Take the arm with the rod as far as possible and wait for the moment when almost all the fish (its carcass) will be above the landing net. Now lower the rod tip and immediately lift the net sharply up so that the salmon falls into the net.
