A decrease in air and water temperature in reservoirs stimulates all ichthy inhabitants to move closer to the pits. Trout is no exception, but first it goes to spawn during this period. How to catch trout in the fall and what subtleties to apply to get a real trophy will be studied further.
Search for a place
The result of fishing for trout in the autumn largely depends on the right place. In natural conditions, a predator is looking for:
- on rifts with a rocky bottom;
- at the dumps;
- under steep banks;
- in pits on the bend of the main channel.
With warm and fine weather in September, trophies can be obtained in the shallows. You should not be afraid of short-term rains, during this period the trout will bite perfectly.
Protracted autumn rains will significantly reduce the activity of trout, which means that the bite will be minimal.
Tooling
Trout are classified as predators, which remain active throughout the year. Even after spawning, the fish does not go to rest, continues to actively move and feed. It was the high activity rates that became the reason for using only high-quality and strong components in the formation of gear.
Not all elements will be able to withstand the jerks of a constantly resisting predator, this should be taken into account when selecting.
Rod
Trout fishing in the autumn is carried out on different types of equipment, rods are selected in accordance with this. The material will combine them, it is best to use carbon or composite, they will provide lightness and strength for sure.
Otherwise, the forms are selected with the following characteristics:
- for floats in autumn, Bolognese rods from 5 m long are used, test values are 10-40 g with good fittings;
- the spinning option is selected based on the baits used, most often these are rods up to 2,4 m long with test values up to 18 g;
- fly fishing involves the use of forms 5 and 6 classes.
At the same time, the fittings must be of good quality from a trusted manufacturer.
Fishing line
Most often, monofilament fishing line with good breaking performance is used to form gear. For spinning, they take 0,22 mm thick, for a float, 0,24 mm diameter is suitable, while fly fishing allows you to use a maximum of 0,26 mm.
To collect thinner and less noticeable tackle for cautious trout, it is better to take a braided line. Spinning is more convenient with an option up to 0,1 mm thick; for fly fishing and float gear, products up to 0,12 mm are chosen.
A good option is fluorocarbon, it is taken thicker to collect gear for trout: spinning 0,26-0,28 mm, fly fishing and floats up to 0,26 mm in diameter.
Coil
This component is important when removing a trophy, and it also has a certain effect on the casting distance. It is worth choosing reels of an inertialess type with a sufficient number of bearings inside and always one in the line guide. 1000-2000 spool sizes are used, they will be quite enough to wind the required amount of warp.
Tackle and bait
The aggressiveness of trout in autumn allows you to use a wide variety of baits to catch it. Depending on the gear chosen, they will vary in weight and appearance.
Spinning fishing involves the use of many types of artificial options. Let’s take a closer look at the most catchy ones.
Spoons
Trout responds well to a variety of spinners:
- spinners are chosen with an oblong or oval petal up to 4 cm long, the color is selected depending on weather conditions: the clearer the water, the darker the color;
- oscillations are used in small sizes up to 4 g in weight; to attract additional attention, the baubles are equipped with lurex or a plastic tail at the hook.
Some anglers claim that you can catch trout on a spinnerbait.
Wobblers
The best options are products up to 6 cm long, with special attention paid to buoyancy. Baits are carried out using different methods, so it is easier to provoke a trout exit.
Silicone
Catch is also carried out on silicone baits, while they are used both for fishing with spinning and for floats.
The most successful are recognized for spinning:
- medium size twister;
- vibrotails.
Bait
They use a lot of bait for trout, the fish responds well to a worm, maggot, bloodworm, it will not pass by:
- brook beetle larvae;
- Zhukov;
- fly
- grasshoppers;
- various caterpillars;
- midges;
- shelled shrimp.
Crab sticks, pieces of fresh fish will also attract the attention of a predator.
Paste
Pasta from stores has proven itself well recently. It is already produced with an attractant, it is the smell that will be important.
Bait
It is considered impractical to use bait in the fall, the fish does not stand still, it constantly scours in search of food. At the end of the season, usually the month of November, the baited spot can produce decent sized trophies. For feeding, they use either purchased mixtures for a predator with a bloodworm, or they themselves interfere with the available ingredients with the addition of animal baits.
Features of fishing
The weather in the autumn period is quite changeable, the same is true with the behavior of the predator. It will be possible to adapt and get a trophy only by studying the behavior of the trout.
In September
September is considered the best month for trout fishing, during this period the fish begins to actively feed throughout the day. This is due to the pre-spawning zhor, which begins with trout in the fall and can last until January-February.
She will grab everything during this period, any bait and bait are attractive to her.
In October
Significant cooling during this period becomes the best time for trout spawning. This will not affect the activity of fish; trout, unlike other representatives of the ichthyofauna, is active both during spawning and after it.
During that period, spinning and catching small circles will bring success. For the latter species, freshly caught live bait from the same reservoir is used as bait.
In November
During this period, fishing does not stop, difficulties in catching appear more likely with the angler himself. With partial freezing of reservoirs, it is becoming more and more difficult to catch promising areas.
Fishing on payers
Difficulties with fishing in the natural environment in November push anglers to visit paid ponds, where fishing conditions do not change. Such farms are popular, especially in the area where trout fishing is prohibited by law.
Conditions and prices
The capture is made on all tackle permitted by law, while the catch may be different in weight. It all depends on the tariff chosen by the visitor.
The prices for each farm are different, for 3000-5000 rubles. catch from 8 to 10 kg of fish per day per person. fishing is carried out from the coastline, in most cases the use of boats on paid ponds is not allowed or a separate fee is charged for this.
Technique of fishing
Having selected all the components for collecting equipment and collecting the tackle, all that remains is to catch it. To do this, at least you need to go to the reservoir, and we will tell you what and how to do next.
On spinning
When fishing from the coastline, casts are performed against the current, while the bait is led with suspenders. It is important to tear off the bait from the bottom in a timely manner and give the opportunity to sink there for a short period of time, moving.
Trout are also caught on spinning from a boat, casts are carried out fanwise at different distances. If there is no activity for 20 minutes, it is worth changing the place.
The trout is always actively attacking the bait, it will not try and poke its nose into the proposed delicacy. immediately after the blow, which is felt by the hand, they make a sharp cut and carry out the removal of the catch to the coastline or boat.
It is recommended to use a landing net, so the probability of a trophy coming off at the edge of the coastline or near the boat is reduced.
fly fishing
Fly fishing in autumn is carried out both from the coastline and in the wading. Use flies of different colors and types:
- dark and wet are more suitable for catching in windy weather;
- calm weather guarantees a catch with dry bait options.
Reservoirs with stagnant water and thickets will require the use of live baits, grasshoppers and larvae will definitely help to get the desired trophy.
On a fishing rod
To do this, use a Bolognese fishing rod in the near areas and a match rod for long-distance casting. Fishing can be carried out both from the coastline and from a boat, while the fishing technique will not differ in any way.
Having collected the tackle, they cast it to a promising place and wait for a bite. It should be understood that trout responds better to baited animations. Therefore, from time to time it is worth twitching and pulling up the delicacy offered to the fish.
The bite is felt immediately, the fish aggressively pounces on the proposed yummy and completely swallows it. At this moment, it is worth cutting and bringing the catch closer to you.
How to catch trout in the fall, each angler decides on his own, but only properly assembled tackle, sharp hooking and quick hauling will help everyone to get a real trophy. In the autumn, this is much easier to do, because the fish responds perfectly to any bait.
