Roach is called one of the most common fish in our territory. She lives in packs. Incidentally, approximately the same age of fish is collected in one school. Roach feeds on algae, plankton, detritus, mollusks, and bottom animals. It can be caught mainly throughout the winter period. However, it shows the greatest activity when the first ice appears, as well as with the beginning of the spring thaw. Successful fishing in most cases depends on weather conditions. Since the roach is very sensitive to pressure and temperature drops and can respond to them with lethargic behavior. Therefore, at different times, fishing for this individual has its own characteristics. In this text, we discuss how roach is caught in winter in mormyshka.
Where to looking for?
This specimen can be found in sections of the river with a slow course, as well as on the backwaters or on steep banks that are overgrown with bushes.
Winter roach
Since the schools of this species of fish are impressive in size, the catch can be quite large. Like other flocking individuals, roach is characterized by collective instincts. And if you manage to put it into the game, then everything will already depend on speed. The most important thing in this case is to let the roach not calm down. And an angry fish will even miss an empty hook. All this indicates that winter fishing of roach on mormyshka is a very exciting process. However, in this case, certain nuances should be taken into account. For example, the implementation of the right selection of bait and balanced fishing rods. This is the key to successful fishing. And also roach is excellently caught in winter on mormyshka with a bloodworm or for non-assault. More on this later.
Mormyshki on a roach
There is no basic rule for choosing this device. Winter mormyshki on roach look like pellets, ants, droplets, bananas and more. They have a different color. Under water, conditions can change quickly, and fish behavior depends on it.
Taking with you an arsenal of several devices such as winter mormyshki for roaches, you can experimentally determine in place which ones are more suitable for a particular circumstance. It all depends on certain factors. For example, at shallow depths mormyshka “droplets” from 0.1 to 0.3 g are well suited. with a brass crown. In this case, this device will be the best option. The color of brass mormyshka perfectly attracts roach. This is a significant factor. The roach is perfectly caught in winter on brass mormyshka in cloudy weather. Here, a bloodworm or maggot can serve as a nozzle.
But for fishing in deep water, tungsten heavy mormyshki are excellent. Often in shape and size, they mimic a variety of insects, larvae and other animals, which this individual eats. Roach on a mormyshka of this type is caught pretty well. But in this case, an important condition should be taken into account. It lies in the fact that it is not necessary to use large mormysks too often. In this regard, it is necessary to take into account the size of the roach. For example, "Dreissen", which is well suited for fishing large, is unlikely to attract the attention of this individual medium and small sizes.
You should also know that fishing roaches on mormyshka without bloodworms is slightly different from fishing with a nozzle. After all, as a rule, it provides for a significant number of high-frequency oscillations that mimic the behavior of animals. Mostly rewindings are painted in dark colors. Multi-colored cambric or beads are planted on the forend of their hook. In this case, “goats” and “devils” are considered to be popular non-judiciary.
How is roach caught in winter on mormyshka?
There are various methods for conducting this process. Each fisherman can choose the appropriate method. Next, we will consider some of them in more detail.
1st method
Mormyshka with bait sinks to the bottom. Then it rises by 1-3 cm. Then begins a very slow rise without noticeable fluctuations. After every 3-5 cm, the lifting stops to smoothly shake the mormyshka by 2-3 cm 1-2 times. At a distance of 60–70 cm from the bottom, the ascent is completed. After that, the specified device is omitted for the next cycle.
2nd method
Having discovered the bottom and having made a bait for the mormyshka, you can begin its descent. At a distance of 0.6 to 1.0 m from the bottom, immersion is delayed. This is done to go to the game. Mormyshka falls by 2-3 cm, after which it is delayed by 2-3 seconds. At this stage, sometimes they shake it a little. Then, having reached the bottom, a pause of 3-4 seconds is made. and the movement of mormyshka is carried out. This is repeated 5-6 times. Then the mormyshka rises in a slow motion to a distance of 0.5–1.0 m from the bottom. After that, its descent is carried out in the same way as previously indicated. The cycle is repeated 5-10 times. Especially the reception is remarkably manifested with bait slightly frosted with a small bloodworm.
3rd method
From the bottom, lifting is carried out slowly, and all the time you need to gently rock the tip of the fishing rod with an interval of 10–20 times per minute. The amplitude in this case should be 2-3 cm. Then after 15-20 cm the rise stops. In this position, a pause is made for 2–4 seconds. You can not raise it above 60 cm. Diving is done by itself, as well as lifting.
4th method
Mormyshka with bait sinks to the bottom. Then it will rise by 3-5 cm. Next, you need to play it smoothly 3-5 times, like a lure. Then, lowering it again to the bottom, it is necessary to pause 2-4 seconds. Then the ascent begins. This is done with slow acceleration. Then you should stop the device at a distance of 40 to 50 cm from the bottom. After that, immediately shake it to lower it by 2-3 cm with a break for 2-3 seconds. Then for 3-4 seconds. stop at the bottom. This technique is recommended for mormysheks of the flat oval type (at the end and beginning of winter).
5th method
Having determined the desired depth of descent, and also having secured the fishing line on the reel with the help of a locking screw, the mormyshka is baited with one bloodworm or other bait. Then it sank again. At the same time, the descent is controlled. By moving the mormyshka at the bottom, you can tap it 5-7 times. Then you need to start her slow lifting with twitching. In this case, the amplitude of oscillations of the tip of the rod should be up to three centimeters. It rises to a height of about 50 cm. Next, a pause is made for 2-3 seconds. Then the mormyshka sinks to the bottom on a slightly bent nod. After doing 5-10 of these cycles, you must try to change the pace of twitching, as well as reduce the vibrational amplitude. In this case, the specified device can be raised higher.
6th method
Mormyshka with bait sinks to the bottom. After that, you need to move it. Then it rises 0.5-1 cm above the bottom. At the end of every 3-4 cycles, a pause of 5-7 seconds is made. That is, the mormyshka is detained either at the bottom or above it. It is necessary that all movements be slow and smooth. In 1-2 minutes fishing line goes to the far edge of the hole. Then, without stopping the movement of mormyshka vertically, it is pulled to the near side. At the same time, this device is dragged along the bottom and above it. This technique is the only one that can bring success during winter beakless. And in this case, you need a small mormyshka. This is an insignificant condition.
Self-made mormyshek on roach
Consider this item in more detail. Making homemade mormyshki for winter fishing is easy and simple from a very thin brass or copper pipe. It is important that it be thin-walled. Such a tube of such materials is processed very easily and no difficulties should arise. After a couple of minutes, these materials turn into magnificent catchy home-made mormyshki for winter fishing. To do this, file a few rings of different thicknesses. This is done using a hacksaw for metal. Next, you need to solder the cooked hooks to the rings made. There should be no particular difficulties in this process. The hook for good catching must be polished with a needle, and then processed using GOI paste. Only 30 minutes of work - and you will immediately have in your hands a small arsenal of catchy mormyshek. This self-made invention invented by someone is a completely successful invention. But there are jigsaws that are time-tested. Their analogs can be easily done at home.
For example, take the famous “devil”. Roach on a mormyshka of this type is also caught very well. To make it at home, you will need a weight, a small hook and a threesome. Of the tools needed pliers and a file. The weight is made of lead. It, for example, can be torn from the bottom rope of a Chinese net. Triplets should be available for every fisherman. And if not, then it does not matter. They are sold in any fishing tackle store and are much cheaper than the indicated fixtures. So, to make a ring in the upper part of the mormyshka, hook the eye of the tee with a small hook. There is nothing complicated here. Next, the tee is inserted into the slot of the weight. This is done so that there is a ring outside. Then, using pliers, squeeze the mormyshka. The hook that emerged from the product obtained must be bitten off with a pair of pliers. The bait is processed with a file. This is done to give it a regular conical shape. After this mormyshka is made. If desired, it can be equipped with cambric or bead. Mormyshka does not need to be painted. Since she will have a lead, dark color, great for roach fishing.
There is still a pretty simple option for making catchy mormyshka for roach. For this, a piece of cambric is initially cut off, which is equal to the length of the forearm of the hook. You act with a ringlet as it will be more convenient for you. That is, it can be either bent to the side or left unchanged. Next, pick up a wire with a thickness equal to the inner diameter of the cambric. You can also do the opposite. Namely, first find the wire, and then cambric under it. Then you should decide on what will be the length of your future mormyshka. After this, it is necessary to cut the cambric and wire. And further actions are even simpler. That is, insert the hook into the tube and firmly fix it with a wire. You can glue a little for reliability. To obtain the original mormyshka, it is recommended to use composite cambric from different colors. And also cut its corners and wire. Such a mormyshka will “play” in an original way and will bring a wonderful nibble.
There is another option for a homemade specified device, on which the roach willingly pecks. To do this, take the hook with numbers 2.5-4. Then, brass or copper wire, 0.2-0.4 mm in diameter, is wound on its forend in several layers. After that, the fishing line is threaded into the ringlet. When fishing, these homemade mormyshki on a roach are in an upright position. The indicated individual willingly pecks on this bait. However, it must be borne in mind that it is better not to use it with a bloodworm. Since in this case it is recommended to put on the hook pieces of yellow, red or green insulation. You can also put on a hook a couple of beads. It will also help attract roaches.
