Catching asp in the shallows of small rivers. Tackle and bait.

(C)

For a long time, "when the trees were large", and I'm small, and did not know what fishing spinning, fishing my brother and I often on small rivers on a fishing rod. Collected larvae of a brook at first. And then they were caught in the wiring roach, Chub, perch and other pecking fish. The place chosen for fishing just beyond the shoals, where they gathered all sorts of different fish and catch food brought by the rapid flow. And we were always wondering what kind of big fish repeatedly beat the fry upstream, at the very beginning of the roll, in the boiling water. It is now, I can almost infallibly the nature of the burst to determine the type of fish that has made it. And then for some reason we thought it was a pike. Probably because other predatory fishes simply didn't know... But it was ASP.
In some small rivers, which are tributaries of larger, such as Oka or Volga, ASP happens a lot. He gladly settles the river or coming into their season, or under favorable conditions, thoroughly mastering them and becoming sedentary. And the fish in these streams quite successfully saves. Of course, the conditions of fishing on the small river impose their own characteristics on tackle and bait. We do not need spinning rods 3 meters long with a solid test of bait. And you won't have to take a 100-meter walk either. The most appropriate in these circumstances would be to use universal gear for fishing on small rivers, which I have often described to you before. The one that will suit us and when fishing for the Chub with the IDE from the shore, and the alloy with the boat. It's spinning fast system with a length of 2.1-2.4 meters with the test on baits up to 15-21 grams, reel 2000-2500 on the Shimano and cord #of 0.6-1.0.
Bait for catching fish in these conditions - rotating blesny № 1-2 (Mepps), spoon lures 30-60 mm with a weight of 3-10 grams, and of course lures. And wobblers are likely to be the most popular and versatile. Especially models of wobblers minnow 50-90 mm, floating and suspender, with a depth of up to 1 meter. Floating models will be the most versatile, as they allow you to fuse from the jet to the right place, and then start the wiring.
The best points for fishing are the river entrances to the roll, the roll and exit from the roll. The casts in these places should be made from the strongly across the current ( to lure znacilo over in the shallows), to an angle of 45 degrees against the flow. Spinners conduct uniform wiring with periodic "discharges" during wiring ( sharp feed rod forward in the direction of the bait, with a quick return and the starting position). This failure with the immediate resumption of the game bait often provokes predators, including ASP, to attack. When fishing with crankbaits, while the Wobbler is in the jet, carried out a uniform wiring at different speeds ( you need to understand what today is more like the ASP). When the Wobbler comes to calm water, you can go to the jerk wiring.
Positions-above the roll (with pulling the bait against the current); at the roll ( by-catch in all directions, including upstream), below the roll ( by-catch exit from it upstream and across the jet).

Are also excellent places for fishing will be the demolition of the jet at the exit of the solid braid and turns of the river. Presentation of the lure across the stream, and down stream ( here, the lure can float quite far, if necessary). When the bait comes out of the jet, you can start the jerk animation.

For visualization I offer you a small story about catching fish in a small river from the shore.

When collecting a working box for catching ASP (as well as Chub and IDE) on the small river do not get hot with the number of lures. Crankbaits today are not small money, and get better heels do working models than to fill a box dubious "Pinocchio." If you carefully examine the fodder base of the ASP on your home small river, it will quickly become clear kayie bait should be in your box. You should start with Wobbler, which is mentioned in the video story. This Ridge catches both a perch with a Chub, and a IDE with pike. And, as you can see, ASP...
No tail, nor scales! Spring is not far off...Fishing soon! ))
