  1. The relief is even, without sharp changes in depths and anomalous areas.
  2. Vegetation in the pond should be moderate.
  3. The bottom is relatively clean, single boulders, snags, and other obstacles can come across.

  • the presence of local pits and grooves is welcome
  • places near ledges and tubercles at the bottom will be successful
  • a fisherman sits down by a flooded clearing
  • stones, snags and other shelters are in priority

Features of the behavior of trout

When fishing for trout, one thing is worth remembering: it is an active predator and rarely stands still. Throughout the day, the fish moves around the pond in search of food, often rises to the surface to bask in the sun and collect fallen insects. It is worth highlighting another feature of behavior, trout often gathers at the confluence of small streams into the main body of water. In this place you can find both iridescent individuals and pied.

It happens that with abundant food, the trout remains in place for a long time, few people succeed in getting it interested in something tasty. Otherwise, the fish will behave like the rest of the species, if desired and in the right place, even a beginner will be able to catch it.

A clear effect on trout has atmospheric pressure and humidity, she tolerates other weather conditions calmly.

Indicators of the presence of fish in the selected area of ​​the reservoir

It is possible to determine that the trout is exactly in the chosen fishing place by several indicators:

  • a head often appears from the water after each hit of the bait on the water;
  • splashes occur periodically, trout jump out for insects or bait.

It often happens that the trophy is not noticeable at all, but with a correctly chosen and offered bait, an attack and a notch immediately occur, and it is possible to hook several fish at once.

Where to look for trout depending on the season

The activity of trout in the natural environment is different for the seasons, and the fish will behave in the same way when artificially grown. It should be understood that in the same place in spring and summer it will not work to fish on a paysite.

Spring

Immediately after freezing, while the water is still not very warm, the trout will actively scour the entire body of water in search of food. It will definitely not stand in one place, even if the food base of the water area is at the highest level. You will have to look for trout everywhere, depending on the gear used. catch a better surfacewhere the trout will go out to bask in the sun and catch insects that have fallen into the water.

When the temperature rises, the trout go in search of food in shaded placesshe can stand under the branches vegetation hanging over the water, in a snag, behind the boulders at the bottom of the reservoir.

Summer

This time of the year is the least suitable for trout fishing, warm water will make a predator minimally active. A fish can stand in a conspicuous place, but at the same time not react at all to the bait offered to it.

Trout fishing on paysites during this period will bring success in rainy weather and with a significant decrease in temperature during the day.

You have to look for it in the pits, at water supply points, special attention should be paid to areas with a moderate current.

Autumn

This period is considered the rainbow season, at this time you can catch a real trophy without much effort. Tackles can be thrown all over the reservoir, and mono any of the acceptable methods can be used. Trout will quickly appreciate the proposed baits and begin to react to them almost instantly.

The best places during this period are considered rifts, brows, places near a shoemaker и stones at the bottom places of water supply to the reservoir.

Winter

You can also catch trout on the paysite in winter, for this you should take into account only one thing: whether the reservoir freezes or not. From the ice, one gear is used, in open and cold water, slightly different options are used.

The places of fishing are not changed, with a significant decrease in the temperature of water and air, the trout will go to the recesses and will wait for the onset of more suitable conditions there. The fish will happily respond to almost all baits offered to it during this period.

 

Features of fishing by season

Trout fishing on the paid pond

For each season, anglers with experience use different types of gear, which certainly will not work to miss the trophy. But it is worth noting that a real fisherman must be fully equipped under any circumstances, so it is better to always carry the minimum possible arsenal.

Spring Catching

During this period, trout on the paysites are very active, the sun and cool water have an exciting effect on them. Fish splashing along the coastline, and at depth with the same intensity. A protracted spring with frequent frosts will not allow it to go close to the surface, therefore, under such weather conditions, it is worth looking for fish in bottom layers reservoir.

All gear used for trout will work during this period:

  • spinning
  • float tackle
  • bottom
  • fly fishing

Feeder and spinning will be especially relevant, the main thing is to choose a good place and correctly assemble tackle. At this time, the fish will be cautious, so the formation is carried out with thin, inconspicuous, but strong components.

Autumn fishing

After a hot summer trout activity increases, she tries to eat fat, which is partially gone during the “rest” period. The fish will not miss a single opportunity to eat, so it will greedily rush to all the baits and baits offered to it. You can use all possible methods of fishing in open water:

  • daughter
  • feeder
  • spinning
  • float tackle

Fly fishing during this period is not worth it, the effectiveness of tackle is no longer the same as in the spring.

You can try to put vents, if this is not prohibited by the rules of the pond. You can use a small live bait as bait, the fish will respond to this delicacy perfectly.

ice fishing

Fishing on payers does not stop with the onset of winter. In relatively cool water, the fish feels great, it actively feeds, moves around the reservoir.

Some water areas freeze for the winter, then they catch it on winter gear:

  • girders
  • float winter fishing rod
  • mormuscular tackle
  • blesnenie

If the reservoir is not covered with ice for the winter, then use the same gear as in the fall.

Promising places for trout fishing do not depend on the seasons, in open water the fish will stand in recesses, small depressions on the bottom, near water supply points to the water area, to hide behind stones and snags during the hunt. In winter, trout (from the ice) are looked for in depressions, where the fish will go for wintering.

What to fish for trout: tackle for trout

You can catch trout with several types of gear, each of which will bring success to the angler only if it is properly assembled and used. In order not to miss your chance to catch a trophy, you should prepare before fishing, review and sort through all the gear, and if necessary, replace the components with more reliable ones.

Spinning

The use of this type of tackle is very common, however, for trout Not every form will fit.. To lure a predator, you need to correctly select all the components and at the same time not frighten off potential prey.

  • Carbon ultralight blank, and the length is chosen individually. The most convenient for fishing from the coastline recognized rods 2,2-2,5 m depending on the fished reservoir. Test scores should not exceed 8 g, ideally, the lower exponent should be zero. It is better to take the system super fast, then every touch of the fish to the bait will be visible on the tip of the whip. It is better to choose a cortical handle, it slips less in the hand, reel hold it is desirable to check immediately, all flaws will be visible to the naked eye.
  • The spool should not be heavy, but should hold enough warp and work properly. For such a form, a copy is selected with spool size no more than 1500 size and front drag, this is quite enough even for playing a large trophy. The minimum desired number of bearings is 4 or more, plus one in the line guide.
  • Both fishing line and braided cord are chosen as the basis. An important indicator is the fortress with a minimum thickness and invisibility in the water. They put from monocos in the spring not more than 0,2 mm in diameter, thicker options are chosen for autumn, even 0,3 mm is often used, but completely transparent. For a cord, the diameter will need to be thinner, 0,12 mm is quite enough for fishing in the spring, but in autumn it is also not worth using thicker than 0,18 mm.
  • Leashes for spinning tackle must be used, the best option is fluorocarbon, moreover, its thickness in the spring is not less than 0,25 mm, in the fall you can put 0,35 mm. The length can be different, at least 25 cm, when fishing on a leash, it can reach up to one and a half meters.
  • Fittings are only of high quality: the minimum size must withstand the maximum possible load. It is better to use the “anti-glare” options, which allow you not to frighten away the fish from bait or bait even in sunny weather.

It remains to pick up the bait and go to the pond, where checking the collected gear will show whether everything is done correctly.

Otherwise, spinning tackle will bring a lot of pleasure to both a novice angler and an experienced one.

 

Feeder

Trout can also be caught on a feeder, using gear with medium load and a matching whip.

  • High-quality blank, and the length may vary from 3 m to 4 m. used for such fishing as pure carbon rods, they will be a little easier, and composite options. This will not affect the quality of fishing, everyone relies on their own capabilities and preferences. It is worth choosing from models that have three quiver types, the maximum possible test is 100-120 g. They also use rods with higher rates, but this is enough for trout.
  • The coil is selected from power models, preference is given to options with baitrunner or with rear friction brake. Anglers with experience say that it will be easier to work with serif and haul. It is worth looking at the number of bearings, there should be at least three of them, plus one in the line guide. Spool size of 3000 and more, depending on what kind of catch the fisherman is counting on.
  • For the base, it is better to take a good quality fishing line, its diameter not less than 0,3 mm in spring and 0,4 mm in autumn. Preference is given to transparent or iridescent options, they will be minimally visible in the water column at different times of the year. Also allowed fishing with braided line.
  • Accessories, fasteners and swivels are selected from proven manufacturers with good breaking performance. Shiny ones are not worth it., but the dark ones are perfect.
  • Feeding troughs are used depending on the features of the relief of the water area. Suitable for low flow feeder 20-30 g, and you can do without it altogether. Not everyone uses bait, some believe that it is superfluous for trout fishing on the paysite.

Trout fishing on the paid pond

 

The advantages of feeder gear include the opportunity after each cast to simply admire nature or talk with relatives and friends. With the help of this gear, you can get fish from the bottom layers of the water area, where it is located in the cold season. Minuses are considered frequent recasting when using bait and studying the operation of a coil with a baitrunner.

float tackle

The most popular tackle among beginners who go to a paid pond for trout. It is easy to assemble and use, and both lapdogs and flywheels are equally in demand.

  • Fishing rod 5-6 meters with rings, you can take from the carbon options or buy a little simpler, composite. The main indicator should be a fairly hard whip.
  • It’s better to put the coil inertialess, this will help to remove even a large fish without problems. There must be at least three bearings, spool size no more than 1500.
  • The best basis for this gear is a fishing line with a diameter from 0,22 mm during the spring and 0,3 mm autumn. Transparent or iridescent are more suitable, there should be enough of it on the coil, from 70 m and more.
  • Hooks are selected depending on the bait used, they take less for a worm, more for a small shrimp. For a worm, one size is suitable, for a small shrimp it is completely different, the main thing is that the wire is thin and strong, and the sting is sharp.
  • The float is chosen individually, for long-range casting it is better to take the option heavier and brighter. When fishing near the coastline or bridge, products with a minimum shipment are used.

The flywheel version of the tackle is formed from:

  • Rods of the appropriate type, length can vary from 5 m to 7 m depending on the type of fishing. The best options are considered carbon, they are light and sweeping.
  • The fishing line is taken with a cross section from 0,2 mm for spring fishing and from 0 mm for autumn. It will take only 5-7 m.
  • The float is chosen individually, heavy and sliding type should not be set.
  • Hooks are selected for the selected bait.
  • Leashes are made independently from thinner fishing line, length from 20 cm or more.

Otherwise, the tackle has proven itself only from the best side, most anglers use just such a rig.

Catching with a bombard

Not every angler has in his arsenal ultralight rodbut trout catch hunting. What to do in this case? There is no need to despair, even with a rough spinning blank, you can cast a bait of light weight, namely flies, to the desired distance. An assistant here will be a bombard or a water-filled float. Tackle is not difficult to assemble and use, you just have to get used to casting.

  • remove the leash from any equipped spinning blank
  • put a stopper, then the bombard itself, then another stopper
  • then attach the leash and the bait itself

It remains only to throw the finished equipment, if the artificial bait will fly badly and so, it is worth filling the body of the bombard with water, this will make the tackle heavier.

The bite is looked at by the float, the depth is set with silicone or rubber stoppers. It remains only to spot the trophy in time and bring it to the landing net.

However, the negative aspects are easily fixable, it is worth adapting to throw tackle and everything will go like clockwork.

Features of winter fishing

Trout fishing on the paid pond

Often, payers are equipped so that they do not freeze in winter, under such a combination of circumstances fishing continues all year round familiar gear for fishing in open water. If the lake or pond is covered with ice, then appropriate gear will be required. In winter, trout is caught on a paysite:

  • For jigging tackle, this will require a light fishing rod with a foam handle, 15-20 m of fishing line, diameter 0,1-0,14 mm, a nod to determine the bite matched under the mormyshka and the mormyshka itself. Trout responds best to baits in the form of small bugs, ants and other living things.
  • Flashing will be successful, this method will require more durable tackle. The fishing rod is chosen with a hard whip, the fishing line is selected at least 0,16 mm in diameter, a nod to determine the bite will also be needed, and without a spinner anywhere. For trout, sheer models of small size are chosen, and different colors are used.
  • Trout also like the balancer, the tackle is going to be standard, as well as on a lure. With this method of fishing, it is important to be able to play the bait correctly so that it can attract cautious fish.
  • Separately, it is worth highlighting the girders, this method is classified as passive. For equipment you need fishing line 0,3 mm in diameter of 10-15 m for each unit. A sinker, here its weight is selected depending on the conditions of fishing, a triple or double hook and the live bait itself. The vents are installed in places where trout accumulate on the paysite during the wintering period and on relative shallows during thaws.

It is also possible to fish with float tackle in winter, while the worm acts as a bait, and the tackle is collected on small winter fishing rods.

What do trout bite on: lures and baits

Trout fishing on the paysite will not be successful without the right lures and baits. These components of gear are selected individually for each installation, but even here there are subtleties and tricks.

6 best feeder baits

Only animal species are used as bait for the feeder; plant and artificial trout cannot be attracted. Trout responds best to:

  1. dung worm
  2. moth larva
  3. earthworm
  4. shrimp
  5. flour worm
  6. sideboard

Colored maggot is also sometimes used by anglers, but will not always work.

It will be nice to peck on fishing dough with a flavoring such as shrimp, krill, halibut, bloodworms.

4 best nozzles for spinning

With ultralight or tackle with a bombard, they try to interest trout with various types of artificial lures. They are united by one thing, low weight, in all other respects they can differ greatly:

  1. Flies are used on a single, double or triple hook, with an important characteristic being the presence of red lurex on the bait. Similarities of butterflies and small beetles will work great.
  2. When using wobblers, preference should be given to minnow and crank, trout will definitely pounce on them almost immediately. It is worth choosing small fish, and the depth should be as small as possible. It is impossible to single out any of the colors, completely different options will work in different reservoirs.
  3. Turntables are used with a round petal, the so-called Aglii. Of the well-known Meps maximum for trout take #1, while the model must have an edge on the tee. Other manufacturers have proven themselves no worse, the main thing is to be able to hold the bait so that the fish notice it in the water column.
  4. Micro-oscillations are used with one hook; it is these models that are considered trout. Silver and rainbow colors will work best, in sunny weather you should try bronze or darkened options. The maximum weight is 4-5 g, more is not needed for this ichthy inhabitant.

Silicone bait is rarely used; trout rarely reacts to it. But in the complete absence of a bite, you can try to equip micro jig for a predator.

3 baits for float fishing

A bare hook is unlikely to be attractive to fish, including trout. In the float gear, it is covered with an animal nozzle:

  1. worm;
  2. moth larva;
  3. sideburner

You can use both single nozzles and “sandwiches”, that is, arrange them in a different order, plant maggots or plant elements.

For girders

Zherlitsy and postavushki will require a slightly different bait, it will also be animal. It is used to attract the attention of live bait, namely the small size of roach, ruff, gudgeon. They are considered to be the natural food of trout in the wild.

Anglers with experience also use improvised options; in this case, shell meat from a reservoir will always help out.

Groundbait use

The opinions of anglers with experience on this matter are divided, some believe that it is useless to use bait for this predator. After all, this is a predator, so let it get its own food in a natural way, and slight hunger will only make the fish more active. Others, on the contrary, recommend using bait mixtures, they will allow you to keep the predator’s school in the right place for the required amount of time.

Cooked with your own hands

If you decide to join those who use groundbait, then you should learn how to cook it yourself. It should be said right away that it definitely won’t be cheaper than purchased, but the efficiency is much better.

Trout responds well to various animal odors, and Hannibalism is habitual for it. In natural reservoirs, she successfully hunts salmon fry, it is these features that should be taken into account when making mixtures on their own.

Self-cooked at home is considered the best of one part salmon caviar and three parts of fish feed, but this pleasure will not come cheap.

It turned out to make the recipe more accessible, while the efficiency practically did not suffer. For cooking you will need:

  • eggs
  • milk
  • compound feed
  • calamari
  • salted herring
  • canned corn.

First of all, an omelet is prepared from eggs and milk, then it is kneaded and mixed with fish feed. Seafood is cleaned and added to the omelet mixture, corn is passed through a meat grinder and sent there, followed by syrup from a jar. All mix well and insist no more than 10 hours. It is important to use the mixture during the day, otherwise it will disappear and will scare away the potential catch, and not attract.

Purchasable Options

Separately, no manufacturer singles out bait for trout. Experienced anglers recommend using pellets, but not all options will work. To be sure of the catch, preference should be given to such aromas:

  • with fish
  • with shrimp
  • with caviar
  • with cheese
  • with garlic

Krill and halibut will also work well. You should not blindly follow these statements, in the absence of a bite, you should try something new for this predator. Perhaps this will win his favor.

4 purchased bait for trout

There are a lot of pellet manufacturers on the fishing tackle market now, every angler has the right to choose exactly the one he likes best. Experienced fishermen recommend starting with:

  1. Top Sicret
  2. Greenfish
  3. Silver
  4. Dynamite baits
