In this article we will talk about which spinning, reel and spinners on grayling are necessary for their fishing and hunting, as well as their parking places and features of this species.
Grayling live in the fresh waters of the Northern Hemisphere. Very similar to whitefish and salmon, but stand out as a separate family of grayling. They live in clean cold-water lakes and rivers, choosing reservoirs with a rocky and pebbly bottom. They have the ability to form lake-river, lake and purely river forms. Grayling is widespread in Russia - from its eastern to western outskirts, but in certain places their population was sharply reduced due to extreme changes in the ecological situation and colossal capture.
Grayling can reach 2.5 kg of weight and 65-70 cm in length.
Occasionally, you can meet an individual of large sizes. The average weight of large fish is 1 kg, and their length is about 50 cm. For fishing, bait: a worm, maggot and larva of a caroed are suitable. And for fishing in the wiring - a few worms, small twisters and the same lure. Grayling has always been hunted by fishermen, as fish are relatively rare and can be a good trophy. The growth of grayling directly depends on the habitat and the availability of food in the pond. For example, individuals living in the harsh conditions of the lakes of Siberia, with a lack of sufficient feed, are dwarf and tall. Tackle for
grayling can also vary, depending on the particular growth.
Spawning period
They spawn on a fast course in stony shallow waters at a water temperature of 5-10 degrees. Caviar is spawned by females in certain portions from 3 to 10 thousand eggs. After 15-20 days, offspring begins to hatch from fertilized eggs. Lure fishing, twisters, wobblers, donkeys during the spawning season are, as everyone knows, prohibited, fishing on a float is allowed using only one fishing rod. The offender will face serious penalties, both for poaching.
Grayling diet
They feed on worms, mollusks, gammarus crustaceans, larvae or adult forms of insects that develop in water. Very rarely feed on algae.
The largest individuals can swallow small mammals that somehow find themselves in the water (shrews, field voles and the like).
Grayling spots
During the feeding period, the favorite habitats in the rivers are valleys below rapids and rifts. In this case, suitable gear for catching them would be gear for fishing in the wiring: wobbler, twister, popper, fly fishing or spinners. Grayling is badly affected by excessively fast stirrups: usually in such places the water is cloudy and it is difficult for them to find prey, so graylings choose places near the tail of the stream and along its sides, at the boundaries of the forward or reverse flow.
Description of grayling survival
Against the current and the distant release of wire tackle, maximum accuracy and leisureliness will be required, since this species has very weak lips and monstrous energy, which helps to make sharp jerks and tall candles. You should not rush, but you also do not need to hesitate, because there is a chance that the fish will burrow in reeds and similar aquatic plants.
Choice of spinners, rods, reels, and spinning periods
The ideal time is July 1-15, when he hunts small fish. 2.1-3 m long spinning is required with ceramic rings (Shimano, Daiwa, Major Craft or Salmo).
The lure on grayling should be plain and light, in extreme cases, medium weight and slightly shiny (Salmo, Konger, Blue Fox or Mepps). For maximum casting, it is best to purchase an inertialess reel (Shimano, Daiwa, or Fujitsu Quartz).
