Fishing grayling - it's interesting to know

Grayling is one of those fish, which is pleasant and interesting to catch, because this predator is very unpretentious in choosing food. It feeds on almost any small fines, such as shellfish, crayfish, larvae of caddis flies. However, in the spring and summer, when the real catch of grayling begins, anglers use an insect as a nozzle. In summer, grayling is kept in the upper layers of the water, waiting for insects, which occasionally fall into the water. A large grayling does not disdain small fish, it hunts small rodents who inadvertently cross a water obstacle by swimming.

Gastronomic predilections of grayling are enjoyed by fishermen. The theme "Tackle the grayling" is inexhaustible. He is caught by a float fishing rod, spinning, fly fishing. In some localities, grayling for the bald and the "boat" is popular. It all depends on which layers of grayling are most often in one or another pond.

But in order to choose the best equipment, the fisherman has to take into account many factors: the width of the river, the depth, taste preferences of this predator. Yes, and weather conditions are important.

The easiest way is to catch the float. But even such a catch of grayling is complicated by the search for fish in the pond. The grayling is usually caught in small, clean and cold rivers. In these places it can be found outside the main current stream. In fast rivers, he prefers to keep at the rapids, pitfalls and submerged tree trunks. Its elements are pits with a reverse current, shallow reaches, to which abrupt shores abut, places where branches of trees hang over the water's edge.

In these places, insects, such as grasshoppers, often enter the water. There is something to profit. It is the grasshoppers, as well as the butterfly, which serve as the best lure and delicacy for fish in those places.

Harvesting the grayling on the float involves using the following snap:

1. Rod (carbon fiber, telescopic).
2. Coil with replaceable spools.
3. The main line is about 0.25 mm in diameter.
4. The float is transparent from plexiglass, weighing about 15 grams, which is loaded by changing the water level inside the float.
5. Leash with a diameter of 0.16 mm and a length of about 2 m.
6. Hook # 4 according to the Russian classification.

I did not provide any equipment in this version. Harvesting grayling is designed for frequent changes of fishing gear, because the rod must be telescopic. A long leash should lull the vigilance of the fish, which can pay attention even to such a barely noticeable element of rigging as a transparent float.

As you understand, catching grayling in this case occurs from the surface of the water. The hook with the nozzle moves under the influence of the current along the surface of the water. By the way, as a nozzle the butterfly behaves more naturally.

The bite has to be fixed visually. Missing bait from the surface of the water, went into the depths of the water heavy float - you need to cut.

In conclusion, a few words about the preservation of the caught fish. Grayling quickly spoils in hot weather. It is best to immediately catch the caught fish, wrap in leaves of nettle or sedge and store in a cool place, in the shade.
