Spring fishing
With the departure of winter and the arrival of heat, a good time is coming for fishing representatives of predatory species. The most famous river in Nizhnevartovsk is the Ob.
April is the favorite time of the year for many Siberian fishermen, because the midges have not yet appeared, and algae have not yet filled the ponds. Fish pecks from early morning to late evening. It is well caught in the second spring month of pike, both on artificial bait and on live bait.
In the first half of April, the thermometer does not rise high, and frosts are possible at night, so the pike prefers deep water, but always in the vicinity of shallow water: there the pike hunts. In the shallows, this predator does not linger for a long time and immediately after a successful hunt for small fish seeks to return to the pool. It turns out that the most optimal place for catching pike is at the exit from the pits.
A hungry predator, having met a bait, will surely swallow it. Good bait is obtained from roach, rudd or other small fish. You can catch fish suitable for bait right on the spot. The size of live bait fish does not play an important role, but it is recommended to use medium-sized fish - 5-10 cm. It often happens that live bait fish tries to break off the hook, especially if it is at medium depth. Escape can take place if the fish have enough strength. In order to prevent this, it is better to use a sail float and, taking into account the direction and strength of the wind, try to keep the bait in the right place.
Features of pike fishing
If the float is motionless, it means a bait has been seized by a small pike, and now it swallows it. It’s better not to rush with the cut, but wait 15-20 seconds. But if a large individual pecked, you need to hook it up as quickly as possible, otherwise, quickly swallowing the bait, it will sail away into the pool, tearing the fishing line.
Various artificial baits have proven themselves well. Twisters and vibro-tails or spinners will go well on the lakes . In river backwaters and bays - wavers.
In the second half of April, pike spawn, only small pups are caught.
