The alphabet of the fisherman
Temperature of water and air

The temperature of water renders the greatest influence on results of catching (all the same, what way) as animals with cold blood cannot oppose with own body temperature to fluctuations of temperature of water and at once react to each warming or cooling of an environment.
So: temperature of water, at which fish is better are fed, 12 18°С for salmon, 24-28°С for carps;
- At gradual downturn of temperature of water below a normal level the fish ceases to peck; at downturn after the hot period the fish pecks better;
- Sharp downturn of temperature of water leads to freezing of an oral aperture of a fish for some days;
- At sharp rise in temperature of water at fishes appetite vanishes;
- Gradual rise in temperature of water up to a normal level provides the best biting.
The temperature of air does not render influence on behaviour of fishes if only is not the reason of fluctuations of temperature of water.
Water level
Here it is important to remember following rules:
- At sharp and considerable increase of a water level поклевка weak as the fish is compelled to change a place of stay often;
- The high water level during long time provides good results in quieter places where the fish finds shelter;
- At sharp downturn of a water level of a biting is not present; gradual downturn before achievement of a normal level promotes very good catching;
- The low water level usually is the reason of weak results as water at this time is transparent and pliable to fluctuations of temperature;
- Gradual increase of a water level after the droughty period - fine time for catching by any way;
- Constant fluctuations of a water level are the worst conditions what only can for itself be presented.
Color of water
When water muddy and in its thickness solar beams poorly get, the fish practically does not react to natural and artificial baits; on the other hand, greater unexpectedness are possible at catching by a ground method, in posting, at use of an alive nozzle. If water little bit muddy it is possible to consider it an ideal condition as the fish sees a bait and does not notice, that is done on a surface of water. Muddy water because of thawing a snow or decomposition (rotting) of seaweed negatively influences appetite of fishes. At pure water уловы usually good if the fish does not notice presence of the fisher. And at transparent water the fisher will be not not helped even by the most careful masking.
Atmospheric pressure
The swimming bubble of a fish feels change of atmospheric pressure better the most perfect barometer.
If pressure is stabilized between a rain and is clear, catching excellent.
On the contrary, catching yields weak results if pressure is stabilized on a mark fine weather.
And very bad there are results at stabilization of pressure between a rain and a thunder-storm.
When the barometer slowly goes upwards, a biting good, especially if simultaneously there is a warming water.
If the barometer sharply jumps upwards, catching bad
The barometer slowly falls-catching average or unimportant, especially if thus water is cooled.
And when the barometer sharply falls, the fish will not peck not for the world.
The sun and the moon, wind and clouds, rains and thunder-storms
- The fish avoids the bright sun, especially if solar beams fall on a surface of water before them;
- If very solar, catching weak, especially bad in places where solar beams are reflected from rocky coast;
- At solar weather results appear good in a shadow in the morning and in the evening;
- When weak overcast, catching bad;
- In the sky greater, dark and low clouds - bad results;
- If clouds high, grey - catching good;
- Warm, uniform and direct rain - the best time for fishing;
- The cold rain testifies that is better to remain the at home;
- Warm rain at cold water and on the contrary - very good biting;
- Before a thunder-storm (up to the first thunderous categories) are possible even good catching;
- After a thunder-storm уловля fine, especially salmon (because of easy increase of a water level);
- As a rule, northern and east winds are worse southern and western though, for example, the cold northern wind blowing on нагретую water, will improve conditions while the southern wind for certain would prevent to catching more likely;
- The strong wind, all the same whence, is not favorable for fishing; the same it is possible to tell and about sharp changes of its direction;
- Any weak wind is better, than absolute calmness on pure water;
- The wind blowing downstream of the river, - adverse, if cold, and favorable enough, if warm;
- The wind blowing upstream of the river, promotes a biting;
- The wind blowing across the river, favours to catching on a nozzle from insects;
- New moon - the best time for fishing;
- The full moon - the worst period, especially, when there is no clouds
Traps
There are some ways лова fishes the traps arranged in an ice.
Elementary of them is following. In that part of a reservoir where it is possible to assume the greatest congestion of a fish, in an ice do a hole in length of 4 5 m and 1-1 5 m. the Bottom of such hole serve as width bottom, adjoining to a surface of water, thickness of 5-6 sm After a hole will clear a layer of an ice of an ice, in one of its corners punch an aperture the area approximately in a quarter of square meter through which hole the Trap is filled with water is ready. A fish coming into it take out the net.
It is possible to apply and such way: in an ice two ice-holes on distance 1 punch, one from another Both ice-holes connect 5-2 m a trench hollowed in an ice on depth about a quarter of thickness of an ice. Into one of ice-holes insert a basket or a bag the Hunter drives on a trench a shovel water from a free ice-hole to a following ice-hole Formed current grasps being close майны a fish, compels it to come into an ice-hole, and then on a trench in a trap.
One more way: in an ice hollow out a hole in the sizes 6х4 m with an inclined trench. The basis of a trench reaching water, its All length of 2-3 m. the Wall of a hole under a trench has width about 1 5 m, and the top part approximately 75 see is desirable to do with an inclination inside that it is better to detain an output of a fish. Water fills a hole through a trench in which it acts through an aperture punched at its basis. Same by comes into a hole and a fish, whence it is caught by a net. That water in a hole was not chilled, it from above should be closed the warmed board and slightly to fall asleep a snow.
Rather successful there can be a trap named by an ice ring. Do it thus In an ice cut down a hole in the form of a horseshoe in width about 50 sm, length on a semicircle of 3-4 m. the Layer of the ice forming a bottom of a hole, has thickness of 5-6 sm oФ the center of an internal wall of a hole on depth approximately in half of general thickness of an ice, the crack which width up to 15 sm, leaving in округлую an ice-hole is cut down. Рыбат gets on a crack in a ring, whence it is taken out by a net.
When the biting is better
The biting is more vigorous (that is the fish takes more often and жаднее) in the early spring and in the late autumn, than in the summer.
In the summer the best biting happens after a dawn, average in the evening and the worst among day.
The the season is closer to early spring or late autumn, the the fish among day is better takes.
Cloudy days can be equated to spring and autumn days a fish takes well and among day.
Before a throwing of caviar, and in particular after spawning strengthening a biting is always noticed.
The profit or loss of water is noticeably reflected in a biting, namely: the more there will arrive waters, the worse a biting, and on the contrary.
The wind and to a certain extent cold always favour to a biting, especially on ground fishing tackles; calm and a heat on the contrary.
Turbidity waters stirs to a good biting, its transparency mostly responds on it favorably.
Than more fatly water, that is, the more contains it of organic impurity, the worse a biting, and on the contrary.
Any congestion, скучение organisms being water and organic parts on small space strengthens a biting in this place.
For some exceptions, than in the given pool any space more differs from other space of the same pool, especially chances to meet in it a good biting, for example, in narrow small rivers - extending reservoirs, in the wide rivers - narrow parts, in deep waters - shallows, in fine - holes, in stagnant water - channels, in current - gulfs
