The name of this fish was, most likely,because of the big and big head. Surprisingly, among fishermen it is considered that it is not easy to outwit her, and she is unlikely to refuse in wit.
Golavlya - this large and strong fish of our rivers -it is possible to learn from the brushed elongated-cylindrical body, adapted to the rapid movement in water and to the struggle with strong currents. The back of this fish is dark, almost black, and the sides are silvery. Golavlya can not be called a predator in the full sense, as, for example, asp. It refers to the so-called intermediate form, that is, the fishes hunt for fry if necessary. And so she, being an omnivorous half-predator, eats both animal and plant foods.
And they search for food in various deep layers: they can feed on bottom larvae or seashells, with the same success to absorb insects falling on the surface of the river.
Some anglers search for promising placesbegin with the "tapping" of the bottom, study the underwater relief in the hope of finding crooks and crosses. But there is a way easier: after carefully inspecting the terrain, experienced hunters can roughly determine the relief of the reservoir. In their logical conclusions, they are based on the fact that the shape of the bottom of each reservoir is a kind of continuation, rather, a mapping of the type of adjoining terrain. For example, if a lake has a steep bank in some place, then near this place the bottom relief will most often have a smooth or stepped dump in the depths. Conversely, the continuation of a shallow land is usually a shallow one.
Several times a day the chub can go to smaller parts of the river with a decent flow, but such raids are not only irregular, but also short-lived.
In the spring, this fish becomes extremely active.The summer chub is also not passive: it constantly tries to hold rifts with trees descending to the water surface, river sections at the end of the rifts, often found at the junction of two currents or between fast and quiet water.
Spawning of this half-predator goes in parallel withthe laying of eggs is roach: most often it falls on the period of flowering bird cherry. At this time, small tributaries and ducts are literally filled with goats that go to the ikromet in small flocks to shallow rolls with a hard bottom. By swallowing all the caviar at one time and resting for a while, this fish rolls to the places of its summer habitation, where it begins to feed heavily.
In the autumn, when insects are getting smaller,This fish moves to a greater depth, where it remains active for some time. The arrival of the first frosts causes it to enter the wintering pits, where it will stand in the semi-asleep state until spring. In a warm winter, especially if there is a steady thaw, the chub goes to smaller places with a small current.
Some anglers believe that the bestcatching chub - in spring or summer, but practice shows that this fish always bites, including in December or January. Each season has its own characteristics, each time is interesting in its own way.
Until spawning catch chub in spring on small riverslucky almost throughout the day, although in the mornings and evenings the biting is noticeably better. Experienced spinning experts know that during this period this half-predator is better to catch at the bottom or at a middle depth, so for this it is preferable to use bottom gear. Catching the chub in early spring on the donka suggests the following snap: a sliding or dull flat sinker, not too thick fishing line, and also one or two leashes. Hooks need to pick up the seventh or eighth numbers. The main line should be 0.3 mm in diameter, and for a leash it is better to take a size of 0.2.
For the time being, May beetles do not fly, catching chubearly spring passes on the cancer necks, worms, meat shells-perlovitsy. Small snails, crusts of bread, cheese, pellets and dough are also considered catchy. The nozzle is taken from the fish on the move, swallowing almost instantly. Bite is marked by a sharp bend of the top of the rod. Experienced fishermen know that it is necessary to strike immediately and vigorously, but at the same time smoothly, so as not to accidentally cut off the line.
On the slopes catching chub in the spring passes or withshore, or in the wilderness. Fishing in this way involves the use of a fishing rod with a length of up to five meters without a float with access rings. Some inveterate hunters believe that the most interesting is catching the chub in early spring. On the chicken liver or on the bread pellets it passes especially well. The bait needs to be slowly lowered downstream, then pulled in such a way that it is always at the bottom or in the water.
Large specimens of this fish have always been consideredan enviable trophy for professional anglers. Many of them are sure that catching the spinning on the spinning in the spring is one of the most spectacular and exciting ways to trap this half-predator.
With the descent of ice, this fish is activated.It is one of the first to begin to live in our rivers. Many anglers know firsthand how unpredictable and controversial in the conditions of high unheated water can be caught chub. In the early spring on spinning this fish can be successfully caught only in those places where the water is maximally enlightened.
Another, albeit indirect, factor for goodbiting in this season can be called a high daily temperature in April. In the afternoon hours, when the upper layers of the reservoir are additionally warmed by the short sun, in the warm and silent twilight the chub rises to the surface or swims to shallow water, while exhibiting amazing activity.
The structure and test of this tackle must necessarilymatch the bait. If small wobblers are used that do not have their own game, then the rods must be chosen hard and fast. If fishing takes place on rotating spoon-baiters, then the soft order is more suitable. Catching the chub in spinning in spring, in April and May, on rivers that have a fast current, makes adjustments to the vyvazhivanie. If the fisherman did not have time and the fish got into the water jet - into the stream, then the rod is very powerful load. Even a half-kilogram specimen will have strong resistance. Therefore, spinning will require a margin of safety. According to professionals, the light models in this case will be the most reliable. While in shallow water the fish can be easily pulled out even with low-power tackle.
Chub shy, so when moving along the shore of the fisherman you need to wade through the coastal bushes, trying not to crunch the branches and walking as quietly as possible.
The bait should be thrown as accurately as possible,and two or three meters before the place where the fish is found. If the extraction is not pecked, then you can repeat it by making one or two more casts. More attempt to repeat is inexpedient. If the chub does not peck for the first or second time, then you need to change the place of throwing.
The most successful will be catching chubIn the spring, if you fish "in disarray" while in the water. This is amazing, but a person standing in the water, almost does not alarm this fish. Chub, aggressively attacking the bait on the move, trying to drag it into a secluded place, because often there are cliffs. And even when pulling ashore he will continue to resist. Catching the spinning on spinning in the spring or autumn requires not just special skill, but also an impressive amount of patience. The key to success, according to many anglers, can be a periodic change of bait and wiring.
This bottom tackle is perfect forchub. Catching the chub to the feeder in spring, April-May, or at the end of summer is as follows: the fisherman needs to be located from the place of fishing at least ten meters away. After casting, you need to install the rod as high as possible so that the line does not touch the surface of the water. Understand that went bite, you can for a fairly strong jerk: while the top takes an arc-shaped shape. It is not immediately possible to pinpoint the chub: very often he clings to the hook, and then the fisherman will only have to pull the prey out of the water. After catching the feeder at one point, you should look for another promising place.
Given the beautiful surface and sidesighting of the chub, an experienced angler with spinning for a spring "quiet hunt" takes with him a variety of types of baits. Not the last place among them is occupied by wobblers. The best choice is to have a significant length of surface nozzles, which perfectly go to different levels of immersion.
Guessed angler size wobblers or not, will showthe chub itself. If the fish goes to the bait and sharply turns around, as if changing its mind to it, then it's worth changing it to another option. It is possible that the chosen wobbler seemed to be too big or even dangerous.
An important component for successful bitingit becomes the size of the bait. Catching chub in the spring on the wobblers is best with elongated options. In addition, this fish bites well and poppers with an original and very complex shape. Of the models of these baits, the most successful are "krenk", "fet" and "minnow".
