During this period, it is better to use worms, fry and crawls as bait on it, alternating baubles. Successful fishing on the donkey, on aspinch most often peck an asp with a chub. Small baits are used for perch fishing, although in some water bodies even kilogram specimens can be caught.
It is better to fish for zander with the help of artificial bait. When the ice completely departs from the shore, the pike perches well on a spinning rod. It is also better to catch soms for spinning, although some local fishermen believe that a donka is better for morning biting. Frogs and rodents, as well as pieces of meat or fish, are used as nozzles.
What to catch
The question of the choice of gear depends largely on the reservoir and the underwater inhabitant on which fishing is carried out. Zander or pike are usually sent with a spinning rod, carp fishing in the Dnepropetrovsk region usually goes to the donka, but crucian carp or roach are caught on a fishing rod. Experienced local professionals who are well aware of the water bodies and the fish that live in them, easily select the right gear for fishing.
Many people think that fishing in the Dnepropetrovsk region is catching not only on the Dnieper, often in other places it can be no less successful, although a large river traditionally attracts the main army of lovers of this pastime. Apparently, the reason is the vastness, breadth, a large selection of good places and a great opportunity to pull out a trophy.
Reservoir fishing
And although many prefer to fish on the Dnieper, there are those who prefer other places. Reservoirs are also popular with fishermen, in which an abundance of various fish species with a wide range of water expanses makes fishing fascinating and exciting. There are many excellent places near the coast, but professionals mostly prefer to go fishing in boats in the long-chosen zones.
For example, in the Dnepropetrovsk reservoir, catfish or pike perch fishing is especially successful. Often, record-breaking large specimens come across here. Along the coast there are several tourist camps where you can spend the night, but most prefer to put up tents or spend the night in a car, because there are plenty of beautiful and convenient places for this.
Features of fishing
Trolling fishing is becoming increasingly popular in reservoirs. Competitions on this type of fishing are often held here. The main prey for shallow trolling are pike and zander. Quite attractively fishing in the Dnipropetrovsk region takes place on the Makartovskoe reservoir, the main inhabitants of which are actively fishing, are carp, bream, silver carp. In addition, there are often caught on a hook and perch with roach and crucian carp, and sometimes even catfish.
Paid fishing
Fishing in the Dnipropetrovsk region attracts some people because they can fish from year to year in their usual places, however, some lovers of quiet hunting are constantly looking for new, more interesting sites. But in such cases, the catch may not always be impressive, in addition, every year it becomes increasingly difficult to find a good site. A great alternative is the rates at which paid fishing takes place in the Dnipropetrovsk region. Such a service guarantees not only comfort and quality service, but also a constant good catch. Many ponds have comfortable gazebos, as well as places where, after a successful fishing, you can cook fish soup from a fish you just caught.
For example, at a paid rate called "Karpovaya Zavod" convenient platforms are arranged along the banks. From them passes carp fishing. In the Dnipropetrovsk region there are a lot of such places. In addition to spearfishing, many people come here simply for a picnic.
Ice fishing
Fishing in the Dnipropetrovsk region in winter can be no less successful and prey than in open water. Each reservoir in the region, according to local ice-fishing enthusiasts, has its own secrets, so there are simply no universal rules for finding fish in the winter. However, it is safe to say that everywhere fish is pulled closer to the coast.
Large roach is often caught at a depth of twenty centimeters under the ice right in the reeds. In the bays, carp fishing is excellent. In the Dnepropetrovsk region, especially in its main waterway - the Dnieper - you can even catch a pike. This booty is always attractive. Winter fishing on this river is characterized by the fact that there are good depth differences in it at the bottom, which means that there are many wintering pits, and, therefore, there will be a good catch.
No less popular and fishing for crucian carp. Bait for him selects a bloodworm or semolina. The gear should have a flexible gatehouse and light mormyshki. On the bays of the Dnieper and on the reservoirs, bait is definitely necessary.
In spring time
As ice melts, the water level in the rivers and reservoirs in the region rises. At this time, underwater inhabitants emerge from the wintering pits, sailing to shallow water and beginning to feed intensely, gaining weight before the upcoming spawning.
After spawning in many species, the time of the most active zhor begins, during which their bite is incredibly activated.
Every year since April 1, a ban on fishing is introduced in the region, which lasts until the end of May or the beginning of June, depending on what kind of pond it is. In rivers, fishing in the Dnepropetrovsk region resumes in spring earlier than in reservoirs.
But this does not mean that during the ban, anglers put gear in the far corner. It is possible to catch from the shore and with permitted types of fishing rods in places permitted by law. At the same time, more than three kilograms cannot be pulled out of the water per day, and it is also forbidden to fish in natural spawning grounds and near wintering pits.
The fish protection authorities annually designate all permitted fishing spots from the shore, using only one donkey or a fishing rod with one hook, as well as a spinning rod.
