There is probably no person indifferent to these poems by Nekrasov, as well as to the word “fishing”. Evening first star, morning dawn, silver fog over the surface of the water and the quiet splashing of fish – this is part of the concept of fishing. This inspired many writers, such as V. Astafiev, S. Aksakov, S. Sidorov, E. Hemingway, who wrote complete publications about fishing. There are also films and fishing and TV programs. This is a very interesting hobby.
Fishing does not mean catching fish itself, but a complete process with the choice of a fishing rod, the choice of a “productive” place, feeding and the fish itself, bouncing on the grass. Fishing with a float rod consists of: catching fish in summer and winter, catching sea, river and lake fish. You can fish standing on the shore, as well as near the shore in the water, from a boat, in winter on ice, and also under water.
For fishing, all kinds of devices are used in the form of fishing rods of different classes: float, bottom, spinning, fly fishing, vent, bow for shooting fish. Fish can be caught for food, like a free lunch, or for pleasure: caught and released. The fish is divided into two subspecies: predatory and white. A cage is used to store and transfer fish, and a landing net is used to take fish out of the water.
Rod selection
Fishing begins with the choice of fishing rods. When choosing a fishing rod, you need to decide on the place to fish: quiet water or a stormy river, from the shore or from a boat, what kind of fish the fisherman is counting on. The fishing rod consists of a rod, which can be solid or made up of several parts, fishing line of different lengths, reels. There are 4 types of float gear for fishing in different waters:
- for catching fish from the shore on a quiet river or lake, an inexpensive, light, fly rod is bought;
- for catching fish from the shore in high sedge, in fast currents or on ice, plug tackle is bought that does not need to be cast, but simply lowered to the right place;
- for long-range or deep-sea fishing, match tackle is bought, which is thrown as a float;
- Bolognese rods are considered the most versatile, which act as fly and match rods for long-range and deep-sea fishing.
How to choose
For beginner fishermen, the most correct choice would be a float fly rod. The choice of such a fishing rod has a number of advantages: it is the simplest, even an inexperienced fisherman can handle it, not expensive, not heavy. You need to buy tackle only in special stores, in the spontaneous market you can buy low-quality goods. At the first load, the fake fishing rod will break. The choice of rod also has its own nuances. The first thing you need to pay attention to is what material the rod is made of. The first choice are made of fiberglass. They are durable in operation, withstand a large weight of fish, easy to care for.
The second are rods made of carbon (modular graphite). The number of the graphite content modulus is indicated on the rod – IM – 1 …. IM – 10, which indicates the strength of the rod under load, but also the fragility of the material. Such fishing rods are sold in a tube and must be in it during transportation. They are convenient when catching fish because the rod is very sensitive. But we must remember that graphite conducts electricity and it is advisable not to fish with such a rod during a thunderstorm. At this time, there are rods made of bi-spiral carbon. They are stronger and more elastic, suitable for fishing both on the boat and on the shore, withstand the load when the rod is bent 180 degrees.
Summer fishing for carp in the summer
Carp is a fish that lives in lakes, rivers and reservoirs. Where to catch crucian carp – the choice is yours. It is necessary to catch crucian carp in July in shallow lakes, swimming pools, near swampy shores. Catching carp in these places is not difficult, and biting is not so frequent on large clean ponds. Crucian loves swampy grassy places in summer, where it is cooler, and if you get to his habitat, you can catch carp – giants. For successful fishing, you need to determine the depth of the reservoir where the crucian is.
If such a place is difficult to find, you can use complementary foods. The bait can be live food: these are bloodworms, worms from a dung heap, maggots, as well as homemade dough. The recipe consists of cereal flour: wheat, peas, corn with the addition of semolina, as well as purchased additives with flavor. You can make bait from pasta and pancakes. Steamed barley is a good bait, it can be cast for feeding and put on a crucian hook. This method is used for catching crucian carp in September.
A day before catching carp, you need to feed the place well. When catching carp begins, feeding should be stopped because the shy crucian will go to the bottom with bait. For catching carp, fly and match tackle is used. It is important to put on the sinker correctly so that the bright part of the float stays above the water. To make summer fishing for crucian successful, consider all the tips.
Such fish as carp are best caught in early summer, when it is still not very hot. It will be more difficult to catch carp in the summer on a float, as it will go deeper into the water, where it is cooler.
Night fishing
Fishing at night has its advantages: few fishermen, night coolness, many shy fish species rise closer to the water surface only at night. For night fishing, a float rod, a spinning rod and a donk rod are used. It is not easy to find a fishing place, a big fish goes along the coast on small stones with an active current. For night fishing, the rod needs to be additionally equipped. The float must be equipped with a chemical firefly inserted into a silicone tube. Of the fish, it is best to catch zander at night. The beach is the best fishing spot. People who bathe during the day kick up mud with shellfish, a delicacy for fish. Fish that hunt during the day come to feed on the beach at night. For night fishing, an electronic signaling device is used, which is attached to the rod. It has a slot with a roller into which the fishing line is inserted. At the slightest movement of the roller, the backlit electronics and a sound signal are turned on.

Feeding and catching perch
Fishermen do not agree on whether lure is needed for perch fishing, but many know the tricks for lure and perch fishing. It is possible to catch a perch in the summer with a float rod without additional food, because at the bottom of the river there is plenty of food for him. Perch prefers complementary foods only of animal origin and preferably in winter, when food is scarce. The perch has a good sense of smell and, smelling its favorite baits: bloodworms and bits of worms, will arrive for dinner. There is another interesting way. The perch is very inquisitive and a transparent jar with fry on a floating fishing rod will keep a flock of perches in one place for a long time.
Fishing in the suburbs
The most effective fishing in the Moscow region is the beginning of autumn. In the Moscow region in September, you can catch pike, perch, zander and other fish.

You can also catch carp in August on the Moscow and Oka rivers. Borisov ponds and the pond on Elk Island are famous for their rich catches. Fishing uses a variety of tackle and lures. Fishing on the Oka has its own characteristics because the river has a fast current. Fishing for perch is not effective, fishing for pike perch, roach, and bream is preferred. Mostly fishing takes place in the evening, morning or night. Fishing for roach is always more successful in the dark from the trays. In the other half of the summer, pike, pike perch, and burbot are caught at night. On the bottom of the boat, fish are caught near the bottom, where the current is not so strong.
