Catching roaches in the spring. Tackle, bait and bait for roach

Roach, which is popularly called a quail, because of its abundance in Russian waters is one of the most common fish. But, despite its large populations, the abundance of this fish, not everyone can catch it. Moreover, not every amateur knows how to catch a roach.

With the onset of thaw

After the cold retreat, there comes a period when, according to many, it is easiest to catch a fish. However, fishing in the spring for roach is not always successful. This fish is active all year round. Winter fishing gradually replaces the fishing with summer gear, which can be obtained immediately after the appearance of the first swaths on the Russian reservoirs.

Fishing in the spring for roach as the water warms up gradually improves. The fish's bite turns into a real fire before spawning. Since this fish in different water bodies or rivers goes to spawning not simultaneously, then fishing in the spring can take place during all three months - from March to the end of May. Just for this you need to change the place of catching.

As a rule, in many regions spawning occurs at the beginning of May. And before that, as evidenced by the reviews, fishermen are baiting large enough specimens, sometimes reaching up to a kilogram, and sometimes even higher.

Before spawning, this fish, going to large schools, rushes to small streams and streams. They are in constant migration, therefore active biting is periodically observed in the most different parts of a particular water body. And even abundant food can not hold this fish for a long time at one point.

Features of fishing

Catching roach in spring (in March) is conducted at shallow depths. This circumstance is explained by the fact that prey, going to the shallows, heats after the winter and looks for food. At this time, the best baits are the bloodworm with worms.

Since flood water in the spring is turbid and in consistence resembling a jelly, the bait, as a rule, is useless. It should be given only in clean rivers. Usually, many people use for this purpose a mixture of sand or coastal ground with a dry lure. You can also knead a bit of feeding joker with them, but it is not always relevant, besides it attracts a lot of small prey.

Fishing roach in the spring in the lure suggests an accurate dosage of flavors. For example, this season, some fruit essences work well. Many anglers also use ordinary garlic, mixing it in the feed mixture.

Catch-up places

Many fishermen have noticed that in the spring in the river streams the roach mostly keeps behind the areas where there are large lumps that have fallen off the coast, from which a "trail" of turbidity is formed. Such places are chosen by the fish for a reason: here it watches those fodder organisms that water is washing out of the ground. In this regard, catching roach in the spring is very productive, if you use the old antiquated method of attracting prey. To do this, you need to take a long pole, and, picking them on the bottom, raise the dregs.

When fishing in stagnant water bodies, the bait should be thrown a bit further away from the lured point, and then snap the rod or rotate the reel. The feed wave brings the wave to the shore, thus attracting fish. Because experienced anglers always choose a position for catching roaches against the wind.

Tackle

Catching roach in spring most often takes place with a float fishing rod. And if in standing water it is possible to fish at almost one point, then during fishing, it goes into the wiring, which requires a person to move frequently. No less effectively caught roach in spring on the bait donka. Its equipment must be highly sensitive. A snare for catching this fish should have a light rod with a length of four to six meters.

If catching roach in spring is carried out directly at the shore, then the main line should be tied to the top. If it is necessary to get the casting distance, then the fisherman will need a not very large, but necessarily inertia-free coil. The thickness of the main line should be taken with a diameter of 0.14-0.16 mm, and the diameter of the lead - in the range of 0.1-0.12 mm.

In this case, the size of the hook should be selected as the size of the bait. Catching roach in the spring on the float has one important feature: it is very important to accurately load the last, so that at the slightest touch of the fish the person immediately noticed it.

Assembling Tackle

The quince in March-April is not badly caught on pickers or feeders. It is important not to do very far casts. Usually, the roach itself comes to the shore close enough, so the feeder or sinker should be chosen with the lightest weight possible.

There is nothing complicated in gathering a feeder type. Just from the cover get the links of the forms and the rod is going to. At the same time, it is necessary to be careful when installing, keeping an eye on the coaxiality of the rings. When the feeder rod is assembled, it needs to be equipped with an inertia-free coil, then pass the line or cord through the rings.

Fishing on a float

There are four types of fishing rods. Firstly, a flywheel with a deaf snap, the line of which is attached to the tip of the rod. This float snap can be cast about two times its length. The second type is a Bologna fishing rod with a coil and rings. It also allows you to do long casts, and for long distances than with a fly option. Other two types of float - match and plug - are used less often. In the first case, the rod is equipped with an inertia-free coil. Catching roach in the spring with this equipment occurs with a sliding float. The plug-in version differs by a long nine-meter rod, a lot of knees and the presence of a special support.

For amateur fishing, the first two varieties of fishing on a float are best suited: with a flywheel and a lapdog. Their advantage is that they do not require additional, sometimes complex adaptations, besides they are mobile in transportation. But the most important thing: catching a roach, which is often located in the coastal waters, with such tack on the float is very easy.

Bait

Surprisingly, in order to accurately say what it is better to catch a roach on a given water body, it must first be caught. Cutting fish, you need to study the contents of her stomach, and depending on what you see, choose the bait. The most live baits are bunches of red worms, good roach bites and on maggots. Some fishermen hook the bait with a baited ball, which, they say, increases the number of bites. In the beginning of spring, the best roach is caught on the bloodworm. On thin hooks it is necessary to put on several larvae at once. And with bad biting, according to professionals, various combinations of bait, or so-called sandwiches, help.
