Most often, fishing is planned in advance, fees can continue for a week. But, on the appointed day, the sky is covered with clouds and is about to cry … Is it worth going to the reservoir during this period? Does the bream bite on the feeder in the rain? Can a fisherman enjoy his favorite hobby? We will try to answer all these questions further.
Features of the behavior of the bream
Breamers with experience know almost everything about the intricacies of their pet’s behavior and the question of whether a bream pecks in the rain does not seem to be entirely appropriate for them. Beginners, on the other hand, want to clarify the situation a little and tell some secrets that will definitely come in handy when fishing.
First of all, it is worth understanding that the bream is a bottom fish, almost always it can be found without problems at depths of 5 m or more. With precipitation, moderate and without strong squalls, a representative of cyprinids can go to the shallows, where the oxygen content rises sharply. There, among other things, he will be able to additionally find food for himself, including small insects that fall into the water column with precipitation.
Catching bream in rainy weather on a feeder will bring success with the following features:
- rainfall should be short;
- wind during rain is small or completely absent;
- abundance is average, in a downpour the bream will hide even deeper.
In addition to feeder equipment, a cunning representative of cyprinids in bad weather can be caught by other methods no less successfully, but it is worth considering the season and other weather conditions.
Fishing in bad weather: before precipitation, on time and after
Bream in rainy weather has its own characteristics of behavior, often different from the rest of their inhabitants. Fishermen with experience know that you can get a trophy on time and after rainfall, or you can be completely without a catch.
There may be several reasons for this, the main of which is the strength of the rampant bad weather. Catching a carp representative during such periods can be divided into three conditional parts, each of which is characterized by its own subtleties.
Before
Experienced bream anglers recommend that you definitely go hunting for a cunning inhabitant of a reservoir if it is still raining. Before the rain, no matter how strong it is then, usually all the fish become more active, they perfectly take almost all the offered baits. At this time, it is worth looking for bream on relative shallows, it is here that it will come out in search of food before bad weather.
During
Does the bream bite in the rain? It depends on the strength of the weather, because this representative of the cyprinids does not really like gusty winds and showers. With moderate precipitation and light wind, it will peck perfectly, including on the feeder. All the same relative shallows will become catchy.
After
Some say with full confidence that after the rain you can get a larger catch than before the rain and on time. It is impossible to agree with this statement, because many secondary factors influence this. The nibble will be great if:
- the rain was quiet, without a strong wind;
- not long, 15-20 minutes no more.
After a downpour, you should not expect a good bite, mighty streams from the sky will drive the fish dwellers deep into the water and keep them there for at least 10-12 hours.
Seasonal catch
Fishing will also differ by season, because the summer and autumn rains differ greatly from each other.
When harvesting bream during sieges, one must also focus on the temperature regime, a lot depends on it:
- Spring rains will bring a good bite, however, on condition that the water has already warmed up enough. The air temperature should be plus 10-16 degrees Celsius for at least 3-4 days, during which time the water in the sun will warm up enough. At this time, the precipitation is usually short and will lead the cunning representative of the cyprinids to relative shallows for snacks and sunbathing. It will be caught with almost the same success both before the rain, and after and on time.
- A summer thunderstorm can affect the activity of fish in a pond in different ways, usually this is only a positive effect. As a rule, before a thunderstorm there is a strong heat, which negatively affects the activity of their inhabitants. The rain that has passed or is just about to bring a significant coolness, in which the fish are much easier. They come out of their hiding places to feed, and a fisherman with experience in catching is already waiting for them. A heavy downpour can adversely affect the activity of the bream, this inhabitant of the reservoir can go to the depths to restore balance.
- Autumn is often with rain, and they are rarely torrential. Monotonous and protracted, it will be the best time for bream fishing both in rivers and in reservoirs with stagnant water. Until the very freeze-up, bream lovers sit with feeders on the banks in anticipation of a trophy catch, and for good reason. It is during this period, as practice shows, that excellent specimens are hooked.
It should be understood that in late autumn, even with a minus at night, but a good plus in the air during the day, the bream will actively feed before being sent to wintering pits. For many anglers, this is the most favorite time to catch the tricky one.
