Fishing on the Oka is the best choice for lovers of a good and noble catch. The subtleties of fishing on this river are passed down from generation to generation, and popularity is growing more and more. This river gives pleasure to fishermen who hunt for bream and pike.
At Oka, the length is about 1500 m. Its shores are quite different from each other. So, the right one is steeper and higher than the left. It’s nothing strange that predatory fish are found on the other side. Oka also has a large number of pits, cliffs, rifts and depressions, which makes fishing, even for a short period, quite diverse. Due to the lack of a uniform bottom topography, more than 20 species of fish are found in the river. Ocean fishing allows you to catch perch, asp, burbot, catfish, pikeperch, bream, ide, etc.
A bit about fishing tactics
Given the fact that the Oka bottom is distinguished by a rather large number of hooks (sandy beaches do not count), it is worthwhile to find out in advance what bottom relief is in the place you choose. Such information will allow you not only to save a considerable amount of feeders, but also to achieve a better catch.
Good tackle does not guarantee a good catch. Everything else, you need to be able to "read" the reservoir, that is, to study the habits of different species of fish. Catching the coveted prey is much easier if you know in what places it “hides”. This is how fishing on the Oka is so different from other places. Kasimov and Serpukhov, in particular, guarantee, with due care, the largest catch of pike perch of considerable size. In general, river fishing tactics have their own characteristics.
For example, bream should be fed on "tables" and dumps interspersed with stones and snags. Shore protection constructions, exits from pits and zones near the spring shore behind breaker jets should not be avoided. It is also worth remembering that the bream feeds near the coast, most often under the spring. This should be used when feeding. But the bream does not like to wait long, and if the place is not lured for a long time, the fish will leave as quickly as it arrived.
A flock of ides most often stands at the passes. Moreover, not only in the shallow waters, but also in the rolling zone itself. Small roaches and hoes are caught in the beach area and at a depth of up to 3.5 m. Larger roaches are more often and better found in large concentrations of caddis or mayfly. Often you can catch it in areas of strong currents near the fairway.
Almost all types of fish are not indifferent to all kinds of changes in the bottom topography: dumps, edges, tubercles, pits, and so on. By feeding such places, you guarantee yourself that fishing on the ocean will turn into an unforgettable catch with a stable bite.
With regard to seasonality, fishing in the ocean in winter has never been distinguished by the absence of bite or catch. Catching 2 kg is a critical minimum of fish caught, on average, the catch reaches 8 kg. Most often, the process itself is fascinating and extremely intense, since it takes about 3 hours in time. In general, no catch can only be left with “research” races, and even then only in 2 cases out of 10.
Fishing in the ocean in winter is always a couple of levels more effective than almost any reservoir with standing water. Of the main subtleties, it is worth noting only the question of the weight of the fish. As a rule, if you hunt fish heavier than 300 g, then it is better to catch in the current zone. Take a long fishing line (about 20 m) and act.
In fishing on the river, as well as winter fishing on the lakes, there are unspoken laws. For example, you can’t sit close to a neighbor if you are on the same line of wind or current. Under these conditions, you can sit down and a half meters apart. This is true for the reason that fish on the Oka are concentrated in extremely dense streams.
The most favorite and fishing places where fishing on the ocean is possible: Kasimov, Serpukhov, Protvino, Skniga, Nara and others. Have a good catch and remember, a real fisherman is not looking for fish, but for the right place.
