Trout fishing on the paysites is becoming more popular every year. This is due to the fact that more and more reservoirs are stocked with a predator. They are equally successful in catching it in open water and during ice fishing. In order not to be left without trout, you need to master some tricks.
Trout - a treasured trophy
Trout is a member of the salmon family. She is one of the fish that prefer the cold. It lives in water bodies where the temperature does not exceed 20 degrees. Sensitive to a decrease in the level of oxygen in water and its transparency. In other words, trout can never live in unsustainable rivers. The average length of the predator reaches 40 cm, weight 0.6 - 1 kg. Larger fish are rare and are considered trophy fish.
Benefits of paid reservoirs
There are various ways to fish for trout. All of them are relevant in paid reservoirs. Fishing at such sites has only one drawback - the need to pay. Otherwise, there are some advantages here. There is no need to travel far out of town in search of wild rivers where trout live.
The predator is bred on paysites in most regions. For the convenience of fishermen, gazebos, houses, places for preparing fresh catch are equipped. Guarded parking is provided. The banks are regularly cleared of vegetation; reliable bridges have been built along the perimeter of the rivers. In such places, trout fishing is relevant all year round.
Depending on the reservoir and the rules in force at a particular paysite, the caught fish is released or redeemed. As a rule, prices are not high. There is one difficulty - the search for fish. In such water areas, the inhabitants do not have problems with food, so they are reluctant to move.
Choosing gear and bait
The optimal period for hunting trout: winter, spring, autumn. In summer, when the water warms up, the bite almost disappears. Trout bite on spoons, wobblers and flies. He also does not refuse natural baits. It is most successful in the conditions of equipped reservoirs, fish is caught on spinning rods, feeders, fishing rods with a float. Units prefer fly fishing, but this method is more appropriate for fishing in mountain rivers, streams with strong currents.
Many people choose spinning rods because of the flexibility of the method. For beginner fishermen, it is better to give preference to spinning spinners or free wobblers. The easiest way would be float gear. They are easy and comfortable to handle. Having gained experience, you can switch to micro-oscillators. Trout bites on them more actively.
Tackles for this type of predators on paysites do not differ much from those used on wild rivers and streams. It is recommended to try out an ultra-light rod, up to 2.40 m in length, medium-fast or fast action. It is not worth making the device heavier with a coil, it is better to choose a lightweight version. The fishing line is taken thin, monofilament is also suitable. If a leash, then exclusively from fluorocarbon. It will not be visible in the water.
In summer, when the chances of catching trout are diminishing, the float works well. It is she who makes it possible to use weightless rigs, which the trout is not afraid of. In the warm season, the predator more and more often appears at the coast, avoiding bottom depressions. You need to go out on a paysite at this time of the year in the morning or in the evening.
The feeder is used on paid reservoirs until the water is covered with ice. This is an easy option. The most notable bottom tackle catches succeed when the fish lays on the bottom. This happens in cold water. When fishing with a feeder, it is recommended to use trout paste as bait. Worms are molded from it. There are other options that work as well.
The predator responds well to:
- shrimp,
- earthworm, dung worms,
- bloodworms,
- canned corn, green peas,
- balls of dough.
On paysites, you can fish without bait. But it is she who is able to increase the chances of luck.
Useful in winter:
- balancers,
- sheer spoons,
- fishing rods with a float,
- large jigs,
- girders.
The choice should be made by the fisherman, starting from personal experience and preferences. Considering some of the tricks of the paysite fishing, the catch will definitely be great.
