The strong current of the river often scares off novice fishermen, creating the illusion that fish are not available in the seething jets. fishing-wire It is considered one of the most preying ways to hunt white fish and predators in the summer and autumn, and the right tactics allow you to catch large areas of the bed, keeping the bait in the bottom layer, where the bulk of the trophies are fed.
Unlike land-based fishing, the use of a boat provides mobility and the ability to adjust the angle of feeding, which is especially true on rivers with complex bottom relief, where each bay or pit can hide the parking of large fish, success here depends not only on luck, but also on the technical skill of managing the boat and tackle.
The main difficulty is the need for constant monitoring of the situation. anchor Wind and water flow create variable loads, requiring the fisherman to react quickly, and if you master the basic principles of anchoring and wiring, you can effectively fish even in areas with a current speed of more than 2 meters per second.
Selection and preparation of the vessel for fishing on the stream
For comfortable fast-flow fishing, it is critical to properly prepare the boat. anchor-ring A hard case or inflatable floor (NDN) provides better stability when catching large fish against the stream.
Special attention should be paid to the anchoring system: standard folding anchors weighing 1.5-2 kg often fall even in moderate course. The optimal solution is to use two anchors: the main and auxiliary (or) anchor-spoutThis allows the boat to be fixed perpendicularly or at an angle to the jet, which is necessary for proper wiring.
Safety on the water is priority number one: when fishing for wiring, fishermen often stand or make sudden movements, which increases the risk of tipping over, the presence of a life jacket and a reliable rod mount (See also:holderThere is no need to save on the length of the anchor tack: it must exceed the depth at the fishing site by at least 3-4 times to ensure a reliable hook.
⚠️ Attention! Never tie the anchor tile directly to the transom or cylinder of the boat without using a burst insert or bayrep. When anchored by a snag on a strong current, the boat can flip or drag the fisherman under water.
Equipment for fishing in wiring: fishing rod and coil
The wiring gear must have a certain margin of safety and sensitivity. bologna Shorter models will not allow high-quality control of wiring at long distances, and too long will be uncomfortable in the limited space of the boat.
The coil must be miner-free, ranging in size from 3,000 to 5,000 according to Shimano classification. monophilic The wicker cord is used less often, since it strongly sails on the current and cushions the jerks of fish worse, although for bottom fishing at long distances it can be useful.
The key element of the tooling is the float. The flow uses special models with an upper and lower mounting point, and a flat or drop-shaped body. resilience They don't dive when lifting, and the load capacity of the float is determined by the depth and the force of the flow, usually from 4 to 10 grams.
Use a sliding float to fish at depths greater than the length of the rod, which will allow you to make long casts and catch deep holes without the risk of flooding.
The loading is done by a chain of loaders and crushers, the main loader (about 70-80% of the weight) is placed closer to the hook, and the small crushers are distributed higher up the fishing line, which allows the nozzle to sink into the bottom layer faster and stay there during pauses in the wiring.
Tactics of anchoring: boat installation schemes
The right installation of the boat is the key to successful fishing. There are several basic anchoring schemes, the choice of which depends on the topography of the bottom and the direction of the wind. flow-lag In this case, the angler is facing or backing the stream, which is convenient for wiring along the brow.
The second is the nose-to-current, which is used in very high winds, or when you have to catch a particular point (ohmut, reversing), the boat is fixed by two anchors: one from the nose and one from the stern, or one nose anchor and stretch to the shore or tree.
☑️ Checking before fishing starts
When anchoring, it's important to take into account changes in water level and flow strength. During the day, the flow pattern can change, so anchor-rope If the boat begins to turn or demolish, the anchors must be immediately overloaded or the layout changed. Using two anchors ("in stretch") provides the maximum stability_position_position.
Wiring technique and equipment management
The essence of wiring fishing is to let the tooling swim along the bottom at a slightly higher speed than the current, or at periodic stops. The fisherman releases the float downstream, while choosing the slack of the fishing line with a coil or rod, the main thing is to prevent the float from ahead of the loader, otherwise the hook with the nozzle will rise to the upper layers of the water.
There are several techniques of animation. Classical wiring involves the uniform movement of the loader along the bottom with periodic motions. hold-upDuring the hold, the current presses the float against the water, and the nozzle rises and falls back to the bottom, attracting the attention of the fish, which is often the decisive moment for the attack.
On the high current, the let-off method is used. The fisherman allows the float to swim a long distance (10-20 meters) by releasing the line from the coil. At the end of the wiring, a sharp cut or re-throw is done. rod-tip: Any failure in the rhythm of movement can mean a bite or a hook.
The secret of "lazy" wiring
Try to let go of the fishing line completely and let the current carry the float itself, in which case hold the rod horizontally above the water, often this is the kind of wiring that the fisherman can't control that provokes the predator to attack, because the nozzle behaves as naturally as possible.
The efficiency of wiring depends on the length of the vacation. The farther away from the boat is the float, the less frightened the fish is the shadow of the boat and noise. However, an excessively long distance makes it difficult to control the gear and timely cutting. The optimal distance is considered to be a distance of 1.5-2 lengths of the rod.
bait: composition and method of delivery
Without bait, wiring fishing in the current makes no sense. The task of the feed is to create a murky plume that will lead the fish to the hook with the nozzle. heavy The necessary component is the soil (clay, earth) or special weightings.
The mix depends on the target of the fish. For roach and bream, boiled millet, barley, corn and flavors are added. For predators (perch) they use a forage moth mixed with clay. It is important not to overfeed the fish: bait should only provoke appetite, not saturate.
The rule of spots: You should always feed upstream from the fishing point. The distance depends on the depth and speed of the flow, but usually is between 3 and 10 meters. Experiment with the distance at the beginning of the fishing.
Feeding techniques are also important: the starting feed is made with balls the size of a tennis ball, and in the process of fishing, you need to regularly throw small portions (the size of a walnut) to maintain the track.
Comparison of baits for flow
The choice of nozzle is dictated by the local ichthyofauna and season. In the fast current, nozzles that are safely hooked and do not fly off when in contact with the bottom are better, animal nozzles are often more effective, but plant nozzles also have the right to live if cooked properly.
| Type of nozzle | Fishing object | Mode of installation | Continuity of flow |
|---|---|---|---|
| Oparysh (cluster) | Flesh, scoundrel, guestera. | Beam through the head. | High. |
| Worm (dung) | Yaz, ere, perch. | Stocking or bundle | Medium |
| Pearl/Maize | Breath, big roaches | Sting or hair tooling | Very high. |
| Moth | Flesh, flock | In a bundle or in a squirrel | Low (requires frequent replacement) |
Use of use pluck-up It's often better than that, like corn and corn, you can cut off small fish and target trophy specimens, and you can experiment with the color of the nozzle, which is that bright colors (yellow, red) work better in murky water after rain, and natural colors work better in clear water.
⚠️ Attention! When you're fishing on rolls and rocky bottoms, hooks become dull very quickly. Check the sting after every dozen wires. Dumb hook is the main cause of empty bites and fish descents.
Frequent mistakes and how to avoid them
Many anglers make common mistakes that negate all efforts, the first being using too rough equipment, often taking the fish carefully, and a thick line can alert even active bream, and try to use the smallest possible diameters, offsetting them with the depreciation properties of the rod.
The second mistake is static waiting. Wiring fishing involves constantly looking for active fish. If you don't bite at one point for 15 to 20 minutes, you have to change the location, the depth of the vacation, or the wiring horizon, and the fish in the current is constantly migrating, and it's pointless to stand in one place.
The third problem is to ignore the terrain. Swiping on a flat bottom is less efficient than wiring along a buck, a dump, or a jet-silent water boundary. Study the bottom with measurements before you start active fishing, noting the depth differences. It is at the edges of the streams that the largest fish, saving forces in the vortices, stands.
What do you do with a blind hook?
Don't try to pull as hard as you can. Relax the tension, make a few jerks in different directions. If that doesn't work, take the coil off the rod, put on a glove, take the line in your hand, and slowly pull up, try to break the hook or release it. Leska will break at the knot, retaining the rod.
Ignoring weather can also be fatal: a strong side wind blows the float and confuses the fishing line, making fishing impossible, in such cases it is better to switch to heavier floats, shorten the fishing distance or change places to a more protected one.
Which rod is better to choose for a beginner?
The ideal starting point is a 4-5-meter Bologna rod with a test of up to 20-25 grams, which is versatile, forgives errors in catching and allows you to catch at various depths, and you should not immediately buy expensive professional models.
Why don't fish bite, even though there are bait?
You may have overfeeded the dot or the bait is too fragrant, and the fish may have moved upstream or downstream, try to reduce the size of the nozzle, change the wiring horizon (lift the load above the bottom), or switch to a more active game with frequent supports.
Can I catch a wiring from an inflatable boat without a motor?
Yes, it's possible. The main thing is that you have two reliable anchors, and the motor in this case even interferes, because it creates noise and vibration, and the boat at anchor is more stable and less frightening to fish, especially in shallow waters.
Which float is better for a strong current?
The best floats are inverted droplets or flat ones with a payload of 6 grams or more, they have good stability and allow you to break through wind waves.
