According to some sources, winter fishing is the most preferred amateur type of fishing in Russia. And the representatives of the stronger sex with great pleasure go on the ice: to catch a fish and chat. Usually fishing is done through an ice hole or hole. And winter fishing on the river, during the course, requires an amateur fisherman of a certain skill. Consider some of them on the example of such a familiar fish as perch.
Winter fishing
In winter, when the first ice is set, most of the fish become lethargic, inactive and even hibernate. But such predatory species as perch and pike, in many respects, retain their former activity. Catching perch in winter with mormyshka or spinners is a great way to spend your leisure time interestingly. Many people like it, since it involves the manifestation of an active fishing method.
Ice benefits
Winter fishing on the river and ice is a wonderful invention of nature for the fisherman. Frozen water allows you to get to previously inaccessible places of rivers, exploring uncharted depths. It becomes possible and "point" fishing near snags and bushes. However, fishing on clear ice requires some masking. For this, straw, cloth or reeds are usually spread. Windless and cloudy, not too frosty weather is best suited for fishing.
Catching perch in winter on mormyshka
This method, it is believed, was invented in Moscow in the thirties, and received special widespread distribution after the Great Patriotic War. The tackle itself traditionally consists of a small rod (from 20 to 40 centimeters) equipped with a handle made of cork or polystyrene. At the end of the fishing rod, a nod is attached - a whip for showing fish bites. It is very sensitive and is made, for example, of metal plates or springs, or frost-resistant plastics. The coil may be different. Better - inertialess. A sufficiently strong fishing line is taken, because the perch, even a small one, is a strong fish and, when pulled out of the hole, actively resists. At the end of the fishing line a mormyshka is attached - a brilliant invention for ice fishing.
Basic tackle
Mormyshka consists of a small body (usually of lead or alloys), a hook and a place to tie the scaffold. There are mormyshki on which it is necessary to make a nozzle (on hooks). Used bloodworm, dung worm, maggot. Mormyshka are non-stick, where the bait is not used or is replaced by synthetics. Catching perch in winter on mormyshka will be successful if you use a vertical mormyshka ("ant", "uralka", "nymph"). Its location is determined by gravity - vertically. In general, fishermen use up to forty species of mormyshka, nozzle and non-nozzle. Some craftsmen prefer to make mormyshki with their own hands and paint them, for example, in pearl colors. It is believed that this attracts fish.
Site preparation
Catching perch in winter with mormyshka will be successful if you carefully prepare the place for fishing. It is necessary to remove the snow and ice chips around the holes, and clean them with a special scoop of ice, debris and twigs. You need to sit with your back to the wind - for the convenience of casting and protecting fishing lines and nods. It is important here that under the weight of mormysheks the forest stretches in a straight line in the water mass. It is good to combine lures and the use of Mormuscular fishing rods. It is noted that spinners attract perch from afar, and mormyshki - near. Therefore, traditionally, after browning, you can catch the holes using mormyshki.
The main thing is to interest
In general, the question “what kind of mormyshka to catch perch in winter” remains open for many, even experienced fishermen. The task of the fisherman is simplified, as the perch continues to feed throughout the winter. The main thing is to interest the predator. The movement of the lures is vertical, spasmodic. Stir the sludge at the bottom to form a haze that may attract fish's attention. Use mormyshki in the form of insects, drops, balls, larvae, small and medium sizes. And large ones - at great depths with a strong current at the beginning of the cold season. It directly depends on you whether perch fishing will be successful. Mormyshki you choose. And most importantly - good luck!
Glistening
This method of fishing - spinners for perch in winter - can also be used, especially in combination with mormyshki. As already mentioned, baubles attract predatory fish from afar. When sheer shear is used, as a rule, a small short rod with a nod at the tip, with a thick handle and reel. A nod allows you to see the bite in time and cut the perch. The reel - better inertialess - allows you to quickly unwind the line from the depths when changing the place of fishing, moving to another hole. The fishing line is quite thin, but strong, depending on the size and weight of the fish that you are going to catch.
Spinners
They seem to delight the fisherman with their diversity. But it is often very difficult to navigate: which one is the most suitable in a given situation for a particular reservoir. It is necessary to achieve during winter fishing perch their slow and gentle planning in the mass of water. In the winter, spinners on perch should either be shifted from side to side, or change planning directions. The movements of the fishing rod are shorter and smoother than when fishing with mormyshka. The optimum pause is up to eight seconds.
Often a flicker is used to catch perch in winter - a special rounded spinner without hooks. And below, on the leashes are attached several hooks with bait. With vertical sparkling, such tackle attracts perches and other predatory fish with its oscillatory movements. Mormyshka is used together with tackle - in a separate hole. After all, perch will sparkle in one of the holes for no more than five minutes, as a rule. And the holes are made at a distance of up to five meters from each other. Often, only one or two become “catchy”. The rest can be put on hold - fishing rods with nods.
Perch. Winter. Balance
It sounds more than poetic. The name of this very popular bait for perch comes from the word "balance", "balance". It was the balance of the bait that made it very significant among wintering fishermen, and indeed the fish itself. After moving in the water, especially during the course, the tackle maintains balance and does not tumble from side to side. Indeed, the most common prey for a predator is a small fish. It imitates a balancer located in a horizontal position. And if an ordinary spoon-bait, as a rule, moves vertically, the “smart” fish understands that something is wrong here! Moreover, the size and color of the balancers do not play a special role. Choose medium, depending on the weight of the future catch - perch. And the colors are better bright, well attracting the attention of fish. Have a nice winter fishing for perch!
