Grayling is an inhabitant of taiga rivers. With the onset of winter, the fish move to deep places of the river with a middle course. To find grayling in winter you must be very knowledgeable. In addition, the ice freezes in winter 1.5 m thick. An ice auger cannot cope with such a thickness, so come up with some kind of extension cords. Before you go for grayling, think carefully about how to get to the place, and also protect yourself from bad weather. Set off as soon as hard ice appears on the rivers.
Instructions
Step 1
In winter, you can catch grayling with a float rod. In rough places of the river, where ice does not set, keep fishing this fish with summer tackle. Use regular hooks or an artificial fly. If you have wading pants, then you can go directly to the rifts, there let go of the bait to play on the current.
Step 2
Place the sinker further away so that the fish will not notice it. Choose a leash from 300 mm. If you plan to use artificial flies, equip them with a worm or bloodworm anyway. Knit the fly on a hook number 4-7. Take any thread from wool, even squirrel or deer fur will do.
Step 3
Make a nod fishing rod for grayling. Prepare a sturdy 30-40 cm rod with a cork handle and an oversized reel. Stock up on a 25 m line, with a diameter of 0, 20-0, 25 mm. Choose a hard nod. Use bloodworms, worms or live bait as a bait.
Step 4
Use a sheer lure in places with strong currents.
You will not need complementary foods. In winter, grayling bites well on bloodworms and worms. It is better to color the worms with food coloring beforehand. You can use minnow as bait. This live bait is suitable for throwing a 500 gram grayling at it and will surprise you with its endurance.
Step 5
Mormyshka also lure grayling with wrapped scraps of wool, a brown or red thread with a worm, bloodworm or a piece of fresh fish. The grayling bites on small light baubles. Play the spinner at an average pace, the amplitude is 20-30 cm. Pause. In areas with strong currents and ice fishing, use soft spinning lures equipped with jig heads.
Step 6
Make sure that the tackle is strong, because the grayling bites sharply. When fishing for this fish, try to extinguish the first dash.
Step 7
Remember that the river must have bottom springs. The current is comparatively fast, with rapids. Your goal is rolls and sills, here it is easier to provoke the fish to bite. Large grayling is more cautious, prefers deep pits and reaches, a strong stream, whirlpools.
