Underwater world
The Tansy River, reviews of which are completely different, has always been famous for good fishing. It is worth paying attention that only the locals know the best places. It is quite difficult to find them yourself, but possible (this is a matter of chance). In the river, species such as pike, grayling, as well as smaller fish live - perch, roach. The latter is best caught near the reeds, while in the boat. Worms or bloodworms are most often used as bait. You do not need to have special knowledge, most importantly, have a float fishing rod.
The catch from small fish can please only a beginner, and other types of underwater representatives are interesting for professionals. The most desirable for experienced fishermen is pike or grayling, and in deeper places you can catch catfish.
How to catch a pike?
Pike is a moody fish. Catching her is not so easy. You need to have certain knowledge and skills. As a rule, they go to the pike with a spinning rod. You can use the boat both on the motor and on the oars. In order to catch this species of fish, you will have to take into account some points: the strong tortuosity of the channel and the large number of shallows that the Tansy River has. Fishing can be complicated by narrow overgrown areas, which are almost impassable for a motor boat. That is why it is recommended to explore the territory in advance.
Given that the water is clear, the pike can be seen directly from the boat. Once the fish is in sight, you need to throw the spinning, calculating the speed and direction of flow. According to professionals, with the right cast, you will not have to repeat the attempt a second time: she will immediately bite the bait. Most often here comes a small pike weighing up to 0.5 kg. They live in overgrown places where the largest number of algae or snags.
Grayling
There are places on the river where grayling can be seen in large flocks. They prefer areas with shallow depth, which are located near each reach. However, the less crowded the place, the more there will be. In the taiga river, there are specimens of about 1 kg. Such a fish can be called a find for the fisherman.
How to catch grayling? To do this, you need a boat on a rowing move, on which movement along the channel will be carried out. At the same time, one must peer into the depths of the waters. As soon as a pack appears, you can stop and cast fishing rods. As a rule, you don’t need to wait for a bite for a long time, they attack the hooks almost immediately. According to fishermen, the catch can be more than 10 kg in two to three hours.
Catfish catching on the Tansy River
How to catch a catfish? This question is of interest to many fishermen. You should immediately consider that catfish is a wayward fish, and not every fisherman can do it.
First you need to explore the bottom and find the largest pits. Without local fishermen, it will be difficult to do this, so it is advisable to seek help, as not every catfish can live in catfish. If this is not possible, then you should try to find the pit yourself. As a rule, they are located near steep banks or sharp turns of the channel. The water in these places is very dark. And for greater certainty, it is recommended to use an echo sounder.
There have been cases when catfish came across while catching another fish. However, in order to surely catch him, you need to have knowledge and skills. The maximum peak of the bite falls at night. An ideal time would be sunset or predawn dusk. It is worth paying attention to the fact that catfish is better caught only from the end of August to October. Spring and summer are considered the "dead" season.
So, the place is chosen. Now you need to choose the right gear and bait. In order to catch this type of fish, you can use spinning, quack or donku. The latter is more effective. For those who use spinning, it is important to choose the right bait. It should be large, such as heavy oscillations, jig, wobbler. For donkey, it is better to use shell meat, fish offal, locusts or a bear are suitable. When catching catfish, the tackle must be very durable. As a rule, a powerful rod, a thick cord and a very large hook are chosen.
