How to catch tench

Yin is quite common in the waters near Moscow, and the hunt for him at a certain skill to bring you pleasure. This is a very exciting and emotionally intense process. You will be asked a lot of endurance and patience, and most importantly - the ability to please him, the same award will be caught by you big line that can overwhelm even the strongest tackle.

This fish belongs to the family of Carp. It is believed that the name Ding received from the word "fade" - his body is covered with a thick layer of mucus that the air darkens rapidly, changing the overall color.
It is easily distinguishable from other species of fish on a pronounced external features: small scales, fins rounded, small red eyes, thick tail. In the corners of the mouth is a little on the stubby mustache.
Line painted in a dark green color, sides - with a golden sheen. As with all fish, the color of his body is affected by the environment. In a muddy and overgrown areas, he always darker. Sedentary, so rarely leaves the selected location.
Lin - heat-loving fish. Begins to spawn when the water warms up well. Spawning portioned, like carp, and a long, lasting 1.5-2 months. In the middle zone of Russia is in the middle of June. Before spawning line gather in large flocks, one female has two or three males.
The main food lin - zoobenthos (larvae and adult animals of organisms living in the soil and water on its surface.). In addition, it feeds on a variety of water plants. Most of the time at the bottom, poking in the mud and the mire. Rises to the surface only on dawn and at night, and even then not always. The sandy soil and other solid is extremely rare.
Lin equally good feeling in overgrown ponds and lakes and rivers in (but avoids cold water and fast, however the most part kept in shallow locations (three meters) with a slight over or where it is absent. Usually bays, backwaters, oxbow lakes.
On a clean water line appears rare. It is always better to look for it among the reeds, sedges, are particularly attractive for tench bottlebrush bush. Apparently, wandering through it, it searches for food not only from the ground, but also from the stems of the plants. Before spawning, in May, the line is most common in coastal areas, so this is the best time to hunt for it.
When fishing for tench have to watch the weather: its frequent changes, especially cooling, leading to a sharp deterioration of fish or termination.
As the heat-loving fish, tench active in well-heated water, so it is important to warm weather stood for two or three days. Cool nights can badly affect the upcoming fishing.
The most suitable for fishing is warm cloudy. To catch tench on dawn, the best in the morning, from dawn to ten hours. In the evening, starting to catch one and a half to two hours before sunset. The place chosen by the catching, overgrown or horsetail reeds and overgrown ponds and lakes.
It is better if the bank will not flatter, and more precipitous. Although the depth of the fishery typically range from half to two, I happened to catch linearly with depth of less than half a meter.
Lin caught and float rod, and fishing tackle. I find myself on the head with fishing tackle, and I think this method is best.
Lin is not among the weak and when playing a fish has a significant resistance. After hooking it rarely falls into a stupor, almost always immediately apparent or in thickets or in depth. To keep strong jerks trying to escape to the shelter tench need strong and stiff rod.
Since most of the catch tench "from the shore, it is better to use a long rod, not less than 4.5 meters. I catch on bamboo, a length of 5 meters. Lescaut put quite thick, O 0,24-0,30 mm. As shown , tench is not alarming, but a certain margin of safety is always necessary in the event of a major fight with the fish (more than 1.5 kg) of fish or in the care of her in the grass. tench fishing is often accompanied by catching other fish - usually a medium-sized pike, perch, crucian carp and even .
Mormyskas fit different shape is not critical, as is the lure head, and she plays the role of a jig weights. I use medium and large "Ural" with a hook № 5-7 on national numbering or № 6-11 International. Application mormyshek with smaller hooks is undesirable, as it will lead to numerous gatherings.
Weight bait ranges from 0.8 to 1.5 and z is defined by the terms of catching. In heavily overgrown areas, and in areas covered by a dense layer floating on top of the grass, it is better to use heavier mormyshkas.
As an attachment using a worm. Inconspicuous, pale pink earthworms little attraction for tench. It is best to stick podlistnikov or dung - they can be easily dial in the wet ground under a layer of last year's leaves, under layers of hay, sod, in compost piles, etc.
Hooked mormyshkas sit down one worm medium length (approximately 5-8 cm), piercing it through the belt, and populate the sting of the hook so as to form a ring.
A nod to tackle is the main link that determines the behavior of the bait and at the same time signaling of biting itself, so it must meet certain requirements. Fluctuations bait should be smooth and rhythmic. Weight is lowered to the bottom of a packed mormyshkas must not bend more than a nod to 15-30 ° from the horizontal. In addition, the angler must be nice to see a nod. It is best to use long (not less than 150 mm) side beckons made of the clock spring or steel strip.
Arriving at the pond, and preparing for fishing tackle, fishing tackle is not in a hurry to lower the first vending "window". It is better for a while to watch the world go by. Very often manifests itself as tench. It may be swaying stalks of horsetail or sedges, rippling surface of the water or spikes in the grass. In general, you should never ignore any motion occurring in the fishery.
Finding tench need without fuss and as quietly as possible to get close to this place. Here I note that lin easily scare a reckless or abrupt movement.
Had departed from the shore fish usually leaves a trace on the surface of the water in the form of a strip of fine bubbles in width 10-20 cm It also happens that the line bite, but does not reveal anything itself. In this case, the fished almost every meter, and should always start from the shore. Often I caught linear with depth of 20-30 cm
Lower the bait should be smooth, without sudden movements. Once the jig reaches the bottom, it needs to raise at 5-10 cm and gently shake, sometimes 5-6 times enough - and the line is not long to wait. After one minute biting is not followed, it is necessary to raise the fishing tackle and move it slightly to the side.
In most cases the bite lin strong. A nod can fully bend or 2-3 pull down. Sometimes the line is knocking on the fishing rod that resembles a perch bite. It may also happen that, having played MORMYSHKA, you will feel a thump, followed by followed by either a sharp throw to the side, or in the hands you will tackle with the scrap twine. You can be sure that it was a pike.
Whatever the bite immediately be followed by a sharp and strong enough sweeps.
Vyvazhivanie small linear (up to 500 g) not be easy. If the hook in larger fish, the success of the match will depend on how well the effective angler.
Large tench rarely manage to tear off from the bottom. Even a slight slack in the fishing line is unacceptable. During the fight with the fish line is constantly trying to get away in the grass, where it is almost impossible to get, so it's best to not bring this matter. Sometimes he rests his head at the bottom, and it delivers a lot of trouble angler.
Landing net is usually used in cases where the tench have to lift out of the water (steep bank, dense wall of vegetation at the water). In other cases it is better to pull the fish dragged.
