Fishing on breams with a ring is considered one of the most lucrative ways to waddle on rivers with strong currents, which allows you to catch deep pits and bed breams, where large flocks of fish are kept in the daytime. The effectiveness of fishing is due to the fact that bait delivered to the bottom creates a powerful feed trail that attracts bream from a long distance.
But success depends not only on having fish in the water, but also on the proper preparation of the boat and the proper installation of gear, where the boat is not just a means of getting the fisherman to the point, but a complete platform for creating a stationary feeding base. Understanding the water dynamics of the river and the behavior of the fish is the key to stable catches.
For beginners, this may seem difficult because of the need to synchronize work with the forage and fishing rod, but once you master the basic principles, you will have a huge advantage over coastal fishermen. Next, we will examine all the subtleties of the process, from choosing a place to catching trophy specimens.
Choice of craft and anchor system
The basic requirement for a ring fishing boat is stability and sufficient carrying capacity. The best choice is metal flat-bottomed boats or wide-boats. PVC Narrow inflatable mattresses in high winds and currents can create discomfort, making the fishing process tedious.
The critical element is the correct anchor system. To catch a ring, a boat must stand strictly perpendicular or at an acute angle to the current so that the stern trail from the bait runs along the side. Using two anchors ("in the tension") allows the boat to fix at one point even when the flow force changes or wind gusts.
⚠️ Warning: When fishing on a strong current, watch for the tension of anchor ropes. The weakening of tension can lead to the boat turning to the current, which will create a dangerous roll and risk of tipping over.
For fixing positions are often used cat anchor Or homemade lead structures, whose weight is selected experimentally depending on the depth and speed of flow, it is important that the ropes do not get confused with the fishing line of the main gear, so their attachment should be clearly organized along the sides.
Installation of the rig "ring": the device and the principle of operation
Wearing is a system where the feeder and the fishing rod work together. ring It's a rod that slides freely across the feeder cord, and it's a hole in the ring that passes through the main fishing line, allowing the hooks to be always in the washable feeding plume.
The design of the ring can vary. The classic version is a lead ring with a slot that allows it to be removed from the feeder cord when catching fish. More advanced models, such as eggs, consist of two lead beads connected by a wire, which makes them more reliable and eliminates crossovers.
The secret of self-sealing
When a large bream bites, the ring often jumps off the slot, and the fish begins to drag only the loader of the fishing rod, which contributes to a reliable self-cutting.
The diameter of the hole in the ring should be sufficient for free slip, but not excessive, so that the line does not get confused. Usually use rings weighing 40-80 grams, depending on the strength of the current, so that they do not drift away from the aft table.
Feed: Heart of bream fishing
The ring feeder should be roomy and optimally designed to wash the feed. Traditionally, cylindrical mesh containers of 5 to 15 liters are used. The material is a metal or plastic mesh with a cell that prevents large fractions of the feed from getting enough sleep instantly.
An important element is the feeder cap, which should only open when it hits the bottom so that the feeding does not fall into the water column during lowering, using a simple mechanical latch or lever that unlocks the lid when it touches the ground.
The bait composition also plays a role. It's always added. weighting The aroma must be persistent, but it must be natural to the water, and the clay or soil from the shore to create a cloud that is murky, and it can be carried down the bottom, rather than being carried by the current to the upper horizons.
Equipment of fishing rods and selection of hooks
The fishing rod for the ring is usually short, 1.5-2 meters long, as fishing is carried out from side to plumb. It is equipped with an inertial coil or a simple "meat grinder" with good traction. The line is used with a diameter of 0.25-0.35 mm, which allows you to confidently feel the bottom and catch large fish.
The lead is set in length from 0.5 to 1.5 meters. Leash length is adjusted depending on the activity of the bream: with flaccid sticks, the length is increased so that the nozzle plays more natural. Hooks are chosen based on the type of nozzle, most often numbers 8-12 according to the international classification with a wide underdress.
Special attention should be paid to the nod or gatekeeper. Since the bite of the bream is often expressed in light tension or, conversely, in weakening the fishing line, the sensitive element will help to realize even the most cautious pokes of the fish.
Use a fluorescent fishing line or weave a bright thread into the main cord - this will help visually control the position of the tackle in the water in poor light.
Fishing tactics and nozzle delivery technique
The process of fishing begins with placing the boat across the stream and lowering the feeder strictly from the side, and after the feeder has reached the bottom and opened, you need to wait 10-15 minutes to form a stable stern trail, only after that you can lower the gear.
The wiring technique is simple: you lower the ring down the feeder cord to the bottom, then make a small toss so that the hooks with the nozzle move away from the bottom and start playing in the flow. Breath prefers when the nozzle (worm, wool, barley) dynamically moves in the water flow.
Periodically, you need to check for feed in the feeder, if you stop seeing the washing of fractions or the pecking stopped, the feeder is raised and poured fresh, regular feeding keeps the flock on point.
☑️ Checklist before throwing
Table: Equipment parameters depending on conditions
For successful fishing, it is important to adapt the gear to the specific conditions of the reservoir. Below are recommended parameters that will help the beginner to avoid errors in the assembly.
| Fishing conditions | Ring weight (g) | Leash length (cm) | Line diameter (mm) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Weak current, depth up to 5m | 30-40 | 50-70 | 0.20 - 0.25 |
| Average current, depth 5-8m | 50-60 | 80-100 | 0.25 - 0.30 |
| Strong current, depth 8-12m | 70-90 | 100-150 | 0.30 - 0.35 |
| Very strong current, pits | 100+ | 120-180 | 0.35 - 0.40 |
The data in the table is recommendatory in nature, and in practice, the angler may need to experiment with the length of the leash to find the horizon where the fish takes most willingly.
Safety and ethics on the water
Boat Fishing on the course carries certain risks. lifejacket This is a requirement, especially if you are fishing alone, and a sharp jerk of large fish or a hook of gear can lead to a loss of balance.
Also, you should remember the rules of navigation: you should not anchor in the middle of the fairway or in areas of heavy traffic of small craft, your gear with long cords can cause an accident for passing boats.
⚠️ Warning: Never wind the cord of a feeder or line on your hand or fingers! With a strong current or a sharp jerk of the boat, this can lead to serious injuries to the hand.
Clean water is a sign of professionalism, and all used bait bags, line trimmings and other garbage must be collected and taken ashore for disposal.
The key to success on the ring is to keep track of the feedway, and if you can't see the food washing out, the fish can't see it either.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can I catch the ring at night?
Yes, night bream fishing is very effective, because large fish often feed at night, but it requires additional equipment: a powerful flashlight, fireflies on a nod and good navigation to return to the parking lot.
What to do if the ring is stuck on the cord of the feeder?
This is usually due to the overlap of the line around the cord, and you need to carefully choose the line and the cord with your hands, without sharp jerks, trying to untangle the knot, and using the turntables and the correct technique of lowering the gear minimizes this risk.
Which one works best on the sleeve?
The classic and most versatile variant is a bundle of dung worms or worms, and a sandwich (worm + worm) works well, and in some water bodies, bream prefers plant nozzles, barley, mastirka or peas, especially in hot weather.
Do I need to feed the point in advance?
When fishing from a boat to a ring, pre-feeding is usually not required, since the feeder is constantly working, but if you are on a new point, it makes sense to actively wash the food for the first 10-15 minutes, creating an initial pole to attract the fish.
