Catching perch in the winter on a mormyshka. Winter fishing on the river

According to some reports, winter fishing is the most preferred amateur form in Russia. And representatives of the stronger sex go on the ice with great pleasure: to catch a fish and chat. Usually fishing is carried out through an ice hole or a hole. And winter fishing on the river, on the course, requires a certain skill and skill from the amateur fisherman. Consider some of them using the example of such a familiar fish as perch.

Winter fishing

In winter, when the first ice is set, most of the fish become lethargic, inactive, and even hibernate. But such predatory species as perch and pike largely retain their former activity. on a mormyshka or a spinner is a great way to spend your leisure time interestingly. Many people like it, as it involves the manifestation of an active method of fishing.

Ice Benefits

Winter fishing on the river and ice is a wonderful invention of nature for a fisherman. Frozen water allows you to get to previously inaccessible places of the rivers, exploring unknown depths. It becomes possible and "point" fishing near snags and bushes. However, fishing on transparent ice requires some camouflage. For this, straw, cloth or reeds are usually spread. For fishing itself, windless and cloudy, not too frosty weather is best suited.

Catching perch in the winter on a mormyshka

This method, it is believed, was invented in Moscow back in the thirties, and became especially widespread after the Great Patriotic War. The tackle itself traditionally consists of a small rod (from 20 to 40 centimeters), equipped with a cork or foam handle. A nod is fixed at the end of the fishing rod - a whip to show fish bites. It is very sensitive and is made, for example, from metal plates or springs, or frost-resistant plastics. The coil may be different. Better - inertialess. A fairly strong fishing line is taken, because a perch, even a small one, is a strong fish and actively resists when pulled out of the hole. At the end of the fishing line, a mormyshka is tied - an ingenious invention for ice fishing.

Main tackle

The mormyshka consists of a small body (usually made of lead or alloys), a hook and a place to tie the line. There are mormyshkas on which it is necessary to make a nozzle (on hooks). Used bloodworm, dung worm, maggot. There are baitless jigs where the bait is not used or is replaced by synthetics. Catching perch in winter with a mormyshka will be successful if you use a vertical mormyshka (“ant”, “uralka”, “nymph”). Its location is determined by gravity - vertically. In general, anglers use up to forty types of mormyshkas, baited and non-baited. Some craftsmen prefer to make and paint them, for example, in It is believed that this attracts fish.

Site preparation

Fishing for perch in winter with a mormyshka will be successful if you carefully prepare a place for fishing. It is necessary to remove snow and ice chips around the holes, and clean them with a special scoop from ice, debris and twigs. To the wind you need to sit with your back - for the convenience of casting and protecting the fishing line and nod. Here it is important that, under the weight of the mormyshkas, the forest is stretched in a straight line in the water mass. It is good to combine flashing and the use of jigsaw rods. It has been noticed that baubles attract perch from afar, and mormyshkas - close up. Therefore, traditionally, after lustre, you can catch the holes with the help of a mormyshka.

The main thing is to be interested

In general, the question “what kind of mormyshka to catch perch in winter” remains open for many, even experienced fishermen. The task of the fisherman is simplified, as the perch continues to feed throughout the winter. The main thing is to interest the predator. Movement of baits - vertical, spasmodic. Move the mud at the bottom to form a mud that may attract the attention of fish. Use mormyshki in the form of insects, drops, balls, larvae, small and medium sizes. And large ones - at great depths with a strong current at the beginning of the cold season. It directly depends on you whether perch fishing will be successful. Mormyshki you after all choose. And most importantly - good luck!

flashing

This method of fishing - lures for perch in winter - can also be used, especially in combination with jigs. As already mentioned, spinners attract from afar. With sheer lure, as a rule, a small short fishing rod with a nod at the tip, with a thick handle and a reel is used. A nod allows you to see the bite in time and cut the perch. The reel - better inertialess - allows you to quickly reel in the line from the depth when changing the place of fishing, moving to another hole. The line is quite thin, but strong, depending on the size and weight of the fish you are going to catch.

Spinners

They seem to delight the fisherman with their variety. But it is often very difficult to find out which of them is the most suitable in a given situation for a particular reservoir. It is necessary to achieve during winter perch fishing their slow and gentle planning in the body of water. in winter, it should either, as it were, roll over from side to side, or change the direction of planning. The movements of the rod are shorter and smoother than when fishing with a jig. The optimal pause is up to eight seconds.

Often, a flicker is used to catch perch in winter - a special rounded lure without hooks. And below, several hooks with bait are attached to the leashes. With vertical flashing, such tackle with its oscillatory movements attracts perches and other predatory fish. Along with tackle, a mormyshka is also used - in a separate hole. After all, perch will flash in one of the holes for no more than five minutes, as a rule. And the holes are made at a distance of up to five meters from each other. Often, only one or two become "catchy". In the rest you can put in anticipation - fishing rods with nods.

Perch. Winter. Balance

Sounds more than poetic. The name of this very popular perch bait comes from the word "balance", "balance". It was the balance of the bait that made it very significant among winter fishermen, and even among the fish itself. After moving in the water, especially in the current, the tackle maintains balance and does not fall from side to side. After all, the most common prey for a predator is a small fish. It also imitates the balancer, which is in a horizontal position. And if an ordinary spinner, as a rule, moves vertically, the “smart” fish understands that something is wrong here! Moreover, the size and color of the balancers do not play a special role. Choose average, depending on the weight of the future catch - perch. And the colors are better bright, well attracting the attention of fish. Good luck with your winter perch fishing!
