Some people call shaggy and capriciousfish, and those who catch it, are real altruists. However, this is not the case. Catching a chub on a river is not as difficult as it might seem from the beginning. At least, this fishing is not more difficult than hunting for other river predators.
Chub is one of the most commoninhabitants of the reservoirs of our country. Lovers catch him a lot. This fish belongs to the family of cyprinids. The average weight of the chub is about five hundred grams, although in some rivers there are also larger specimens. There are professionals who can boast of pulled out "trophy" copies, for example four-kilogram.
This fish is most often found in non-navigationalsmall rivers. She avoids reservoirs with standing water, where there is a muddy bottom and a lot of algae. In fast-flowing rivers the chub is not able to stay on the ridge for a long time, and therefore tries to find a shelter in the form of a boulder stone, etc. It usually keeps the boundary between calm and current.
Having decided on the river, the fisherman should choosea specific place for fishing. If possible, you can explore the reservoir on the eve and identify the most promising areas for yourself. It is necessary to exclude direct and long sections of the river that have an unchanging landscape, as well as those where there are no changes in depths or there is standing water. First of all, one should pay attention to natural or artificial cliffs or turns, to the narrowing or widening of the channel, bridges, etc. A classic place for catching a head is rolling. They are most often found near the tributaries or on the extension of the river bed.
As a rule, flocks of these underwater inhabitants are small. In this case, large specimens are loners. The chub is fed round the clock. He is omnivorous and loves a variety of food.
Spring is the period of activity of this riverthe inhabitant. At this time the water is gradually cleared of dirt and becomes transparent. The chub is caught in April almost everywhere, especially in the central regions of our country. As fish spawn at the beginning of this month, after a short rest from spawning, this representative of carp begins the zhor, which greatly facilitates the angling. Mid-May and June in the more northern regions - the most favorable time for fishing on this silvery handsome man. The chub is not badly caught and in some rivers in July and August, especially at dawn.
In the autumn period during the gradual declinetemperature and water, and air, biting is less intense. But even in this period it is possible to capture trophy specimens. It is best at this time to use bottom gear or jig-spinning. It is difficult to hunt in the winter, because at this time it usually "stands" on the pits and ignores the food.
Spring fishing begins on thisthe representative of carp in most regions since early March, with the enlightenment of water. Those who know what are the most catchy fishing rod and lures on the chub in this season, rush to fast rivers in the hope of bringing home a good catch. The best time for spring fishing is noon and the second half of the day.
Optimal gear, according to many,are considered float and bottom fishing rods. Those who have already hammered this hand, believe that in the spring the best is catching the chub in the May beetle and worm, although some use creeps or bark beetles.
Experienced anglers use the weakness of thiscarp to insects. Therefore, after the departure of the May bug, this bait is used. Catch it in this season is easy enough, so many catch this insect on the net and fold in a container with holes for free air circulation. They heal the May beetle on the hook in a place on the back between the wings so that the sting would come out of his abdomen. This method does not allow the chub to eat off the bitten part. In this case, the sting should be outside. And since this prey prefers a sinking beetle, the bait should be systematically rebooted. This improves the bite. In spring, catching the chub in the May beetle is effective only seven to ten days, then he begins to "change" the bait.
The equipment for chives can be different.It must be chosen at the time of the year and the specific situation. This can be a donka-postavushka, float rod, feeder, wobblers and, of course, spinning. You can hunt with a pikernal tackle on the chub.
Donka is most suitable for catching this fish inbeginning of May. The rigging on the chub involves a hard, good rod that can withstand heavy loads. After all, sometimes large specimens come across, and a weak rod can simply not withstand the pressure of this "fighting" prey when fishing. Some believe that because of such a hard rod bite is not visible. However, this problem can easily be solved by using a conventional alarm. Very effective donkeys on chub, having a special tip, helping to easily feel the bite.
An excellent tackle on the head is andfloat fishing rod. Its rod should also be very powerful, and the line is 0.18 millimeters thick. Since the spring rivers after full water are full of different hooks, the rigging on the chub must necessarily have a leash. Depending on the applied bait and baits, the corresponding hooks from the seventh to the twelfth are chosen.
This tackle is best to catch in May.Spinning on fishing for chub can be anything, the main thing is that he had a small weight. The length can vary from two to three and a half meters, depending on the water body, and the test - from ten to thirty grams. It is best to equip it with an inert coil. Spinning, according to many professionals, is considered the most suitable gear for wading. Since the chub at the end of the summer very often disappears on river inflections, it is very convenient to catch it, going from shore to some distance deep into, closer to the place of feeding. Since the water at this time is already quite warm, then it will not be difficult.
The catchability of any fish depends on the selectedbaits. Often when fishing on this semi-predator, some use a wobblers, but in some situations other options do not give the worst, and sometimes even the best effect. For example, in the autumn season, the hesitating lure for chub is the best. There is only one hook in it, and this minimizes the chances of hooks for bushes and snags - the places where large-scale mining hides most often. Another plus of the wobble is that such a spinner on the chub, unlike the wobblers, has a more accurate cast, which is especially important in windy weather.
Excellent manifests itself spinning baits onchub. Among all the other baits used on this fish, the turntables have shown themselves to be the most catchy. In addition, it is universal for different places and is not demanding on a leash. Requirements for baiting
It is not enough to know how to fish, it is still rightpick up on what lures to catch chub. After the first cast, this fish either bites, or leaves, and because the bait should work already the first time. Because of this, very strict requirements are put forward to the spoon-baiters: stability of work, the ability to "start up" instantly and to quickly change the speed of the leash.
Naturally, not all models will respond with thisstrict requirements. Only qualitative options will correspond to them, which are somewhat higher than for budget copies. The success of fishing for a bait depends on its "presentation", since the chub without attacking it from the first cast will not take it from the next one. Therefore, the bait needs to be taken small - from №0 to №2 and at the same time actively "game". The main thing: do not overdo with the "game", because too intensely "playing" spoon-bait can scare away large copies.
Another important point is excessive noise,arising from the throwing. The large size of the bait also frightens the chub, so you should take care of the optimal parameters. Experienced anglers take sets of lures with them to change them depending on the weather, etc.
Those who know how to catch a spoon withspinning, they say that it is best to do this from the boat. This cautious fish does not bite when it feels even the slightest danger. Seeing a man at the water's edge, he, as a rule, hides. Therefore it is better to catch it from a boat that floats freely with the flow. It is believed that the chub, not expecting danger from the water, watches mainly over the shore and responds to the footsteps issued by the feet. And the boat, slipping on the water without a splash, is more likely not to scare away this cautious fish.
The technique of fishing here is this:The spinning drifts downstream and tries to detect the places of possible chubby sites. The bait needs to be thrown under the cliffs near the very rims of the water. Usually the chub is there waiting for jumping frogs. Often the reflex is enough for bait. Usually a lot of bites happen at the moment when the bait touches the water. This approach is called "first casting tactics" by professionals, because, as a rule, this fish comes across immediately or does not bite at all. The subsequent harvesting of this place will not give a result. As soon as this carp notices the presence of a fisherman, he hides for a long time.
First of all it is necessary to catch steepbanks of rivers, in particular places on bends or corners, as well as islets of grass under cliffs, wooded areas where there are trees hanging over water, fields of water lilies, especially those bordering with whirlpools or backflow.
There are many lures for chub, but they can bedivided into two categories - the rotating spoon-bait and the wobblers. For beginners who are just starting to learn fishing, it is worthwhile to stock them up and take with them sets of lures and wobblers of different colors. When catching this representative of carp, color much depends on the chosen bait. The color of the spoon-bait should be selected based on the weather. It ranges from copper to bronze-brass. In bright sunny days you need to catch on the petals of dull shades. It can be copper, dark golden color, and in cloudy weather - lighter, for example, silvery or light golden tones.
The most universal color of a spoon-bait is consideredgolden or black. For some reason, the chub prefers precisely these shades of petals. For example, the Black Mack Fles with black spots, according to the professionals, is very effective. The gold MYRAN Panter No. 3 works well.
Among the fishermen there is the following rule: small-sized spoon-bait attracts mainly a small chub, while large baits for some reason alarm him.
A silvery handsome man brings a mana real pleasure. After all, how much excitement is to find this cautious booty, to steal unnoticed to it at the optimal distance for casting, to find a suitable bait, which at the moment it will have to her liking, and, outsmarting, incline to bite!
