Grayling is a fish with excellent eyesight, allowingto see an insect a few meters away. When you see the prey, the fish quickly rises to the surface, grabs it and returns to its original position. Therefore fishing for grayling is difficult, because to throw a fly in the place of a splash is meaningless.
Very great pleasure delivers observationfor lake grayling during the mass flights of insects. Fish try to grab them on the fly, jumping out of the water. Sometimes their number can reach several tens or even hundreds.
During the summer floods, which are accompanied byturbidity of the water, fishing for grayling takes on a passive character, since its biting on the fly is weakening. At such times, fish can often be found in shallow coastal places where water is slightly defended. Here, fish can be caught in different natural lures of light shades. In the autumn, grayling can be caught throughout the daylight hours. With the approach of cold weather, the time of biting is shortened.
In the autumn, great luck brings grayling to thespinning. This fish reacts most to copper unpolished or brass rotating spoon-bait. Of great interest is catching on artificial insects. Here flies are used, representing an exact copy of fry or insects, as well as flies that have no analogs in nature.
Fishing for grayling will be successful if resorted toto a little trick. For example, as a bait, it is more expedient to use the signs of an insect or fry that are characteristic of a given period of time.
It is also used for catching dry flies that differcolorful plumage and keep on the surface of the water due to water repellent impregnation. Such fishing is done using fly fishing tackle or telescopic rod. After the dry flies are thrown into the water, they slowly float on the watery surface, and the fish can look at them quite well.
There is another way, without which it does not dofishing for grayling. This is the use of wet flies capable of simulating a variety of insect larvae, leeches, worms, beetles and water bugs. Also find use of tape drives - baits that resemble fish fry. They are made on hooks with a long fore-end. Plumage in such baits is long enough and during the wiring on the water plays and wobbles.
The most universal color of flies for catchinggrayling near the water surface is considered a red color. With the onset of dusk, flies of white, pale pink and yellow colors are most often used. In clear and sunny weather insects of dark brown and black tones are good, which in color are close to the winged ants that appear at this time. The best flies intended for catching grayling are flies made from cervical feathers of a red cock. Feathers of wood grouses, pheasants, grouse, partridges, wild ducks are also used.
The assembly thread is a thin nylon or silk.The most durable and durable flies are obtained if, in addition to the mounting thread, a small amount of water-resistant glue is used for sizing insect elements. The body of flies consists of threads from large feathers or wool. Simulation of the segmented abdomen of the insect is carried out by winding a thread of a different color along a spiral. The head of the fly is made of the final thread of the thread, and impregnated with a colorless nail varnish, which secures the construction of the insect.
Fishing for grayling in winter is carried out onrocky shallows up to two meters deep. In winter, grayling does not stop feeding. However, when the spawning of trout begins, the grayling stops paying attention to the bait. Feeding for him is the caviar of trout.
When fishing grayling in winter, small spoons and mormyshka are used. The bait should be narrow, about fifty millimeters long, with one side silvery, and the other - red copper.
Without knowledge of all these subtleties, hunting for grayling will be in vain, and it will not bring a good catch.
