According to experts, mostly experienced fishermen are fishing trout. Nevertheless, trout fishing is also of interest to beginners. High popularity is explained by the fact that this fish is very tasty. The fishing process itself also gives a lot of pleasure. What time is better to start fishing? What to catch trout? What places in the pond are considered the most fish? Such questions are asked by novice fishermen. Information about the intricacies of trout fishing is contained in this article.
Meeting fish
Trout is a representative of salmon. It is also called trout. Depending on the habitat, there are three types of trout: lake, river and pass. In nature, trout can have a variety of sizes. On average, its length is 350 mm. However, meter-long individuals weighing over 8 kg are also found. According to experts, the life expectancy of trout can reach 20 years. However, this is very rare.
About gear
Trout fishing is carried out using the following devices:
- Spinning rods. Judging by the reviews, it is more effective during the autumn trout fishing. Apply with spinners and other artificial baits.
- An ordinary float rod. This is the easiest tackle. It can be used with baits of plant and animal origin.
- Fly fishing. This method is complex and will bring results only if you have certain skills and experience.
Judging by the numerous reviews, all three types are considered quite effective. However, every fisherman who is engaged in trout fishing often prefers one or another method. For each of the gears, certain baits are provided.
About lures
Judging by the reviews, many beginners are interested in what you need to take with you for fishing? Trout fishing will be successful with the following baits:
- Dung worm. Due to its bright reddish tint, it is the best bait for trout. To fish out small individuals, the fisherman will have to cut the worm into pieces. Large specimens peck at whole worms. In order to interest trout, experienced anglers decorate them with hooks like garlands. It is important that the tip of the hook is hidden. Otherwise, the bite will not take place.
- Larvae of insects, bloodworms and maggots.
- Earthworm.
- Red caviar. It is considered a very catchy bait, but expensive, not accessible to every trout.
- Corn.
- Cheese.
- Flies.
According to experts, in the summer and autumn periods, plant-based lures are effective. Due to the fact that the predator instinct starts to work in the fish in autumn, it may not be satisfied with corn and rice alone. Winter fishing for trout involves the use of baits of animal origin. For those who do not know what size they should be, experts recommend starting from the dimensions of the fish themselves that live in the pond. On paid sites, the weight of individuals is at least 3 kg. However, this cannot be considered a regularity, since 10-pound representatives are also found in the natural environment. Mostly it is lake trout. Fishing on the rivers, judging by the reviews, is less effective, since individuals weighing up to 1 kg are more often found.
About spinning fishing
According to experienced fishermen, it is impossible to accurately predict the result of fishing using this gear. Arriving at the pond, you should first make several test casts. The castmaster bait proved to be quite good. This spinner has excellent flight characteristics, thanks to which you can fish at a considerable distance. Oscillating and rotating baubles are also considered quite catchy. The fisherman needs to consider the size and color of the gear. If the fish attacks near the surface, it is advisable to use a popper. If the water column became the place of attacks, the fisherman should equip the spinning rod with a wobbler. It is desirable that the kit had several options for this bait, designed for different depths of immersion.
With spinning practice leisurely and deep wiring. Initially, the fisherman performs an accurate cast. This must be done in such a way that in the future, during the posting, the spinner passes near the place with the fish. Trout may not attack immediately. Mostly fish go for active actions only after the tenth casting. In order to provoke it, it is recommended to carry out wiring at different speeds. Experienced fishermen are advised to perform the first posting at a slow pace. This will enable the fish to take a closer look at the bait. Sometimes trout tries to taste it. The next wiring should be fast. Some individuals who are aggressive, without examining the lure, attack it on fast wiring.
How to fly fly fishing?
For fishing trout in this way you need artificial flies. Unlike other baits, they are more secure on the hook. Since the fly is an imitation of an insect that lives in a pond, the fisherman needs to know which bait to use in a particular period. If the fly imitates a larva, which it is too early to fly, then its appearance in the water column will only alert the predator. These rigs can be expertly made copies of the larvae and insects that make up the feed base of the trout. However, this fish can also peck at flies with a unique appearance, which they previously ignored.
A fly fishing rod is equipped with a leash, the diameter of which is from 0.15 to 0.25 mm. The length of the gear is within 1.5-3 m. The leash should have the same length. Judging by the reviews, on paid sites it is more convenient to catch it with long rods. On the river, trout fishing is carried out by shorter fishing rods. This recommendation is due to the fact that during fishing, the fisherman has to move a lot along the coast with various obstacles there. With long gear it will be very difficult to do.
When to start?
Trout is harvested seasonally. There are three of them. The first starts in April and ends in June. At this time, the fish is very active. It feeds on insects, small fish and frogs. This should be taken into account by the fisherman when selecting lures. Experts recommend starting fishing after lunch. Second season: July-August. The fish is getting calmer. The diet of the predator is represented by nymphs and insects. Trout is caught in the evening or morning hours. The mining season ends in September. At this time, the activity of fish again increases. Basically, it feeds on both aquatic and terrestrial small insects.
About habitats
According to experts, trout lives only in clean and cool water. Therefore, it can be found in mountain rivers and mountain lakes. In such reservoirs, in addition to trout, grayling lives. There are also large lakes with other fish species. In a pond, trout is deployed in places with the fastest flow, and therefore, the water there is cooler and with a high oxygen content.
Since the predator heads with its head in the direction of the current, in order to determine the place of parking, the angler should move in the same direction. Otherwise, the fish may notice movement on the shore. Since the water warms up faster in places with a weak current, you should not look for trout here. Often this species is deployed under large boulders. Here the trout is resting and gaining strength in order to continue its further movement against the stream. Often these are medium or small individuals. Larger specimens are concentrated in deeper places with natural shelters: snags or fallen trees. Often trout swims to the surface itself, where it feeds on insects that have fallen into the water.
At Akulovo
In the suburbs fishing for trout is carried out in special fishing clubs, which are also called "payers". One of them was the Akulovo club. Judging by numerous reviews, this platformer has bridges convenient for fishing, the pond is stocked regularly, the consumer has the opportunity to rent fishing tackle. After fishing, club members can relax. Especially for this purpose on the territory there are many gazebos and lodges for spending the night. Also in "Akulovo" there is a playground, a restaurant, a bathhouse, barbecue facilities, on which, if desired, a club member can cook fish. Judging by the reviews, the club management worried about the convenience of not only fishermen, but also their families. In addition to trout, you can fish here catfish, pike, carp, sturgeon and beluga.
Finally
Since trout is a very careful and shy fish, complete silence should be observed during fishing. Otherwise, trout will leave the place. The fisherman should prepare special camouflage clothing. It is important that it does not stand out from the shore.
