Iceshop on the Volga in the year. Volga exempt from ice

The ice rose on the lower Volga phenomenon is extraordinary. First of all, the ice of the ice is released by Delta Volga below Astrakhan, because even in severe frosts, the ducts are frozen badly and quickly blurred at the first thaws. The same can be said about the Volga region from Volgograd to Stupino (100km), which affects the influence of the Volgograd GRES and the ice plant here actually does not happen.
At the second stage, the free of ice is released by Volga in front of Astrakhan. One week comes with a lot from Narimanovo, the other from the deputy, that is, the Volga opens from the bottom up. At the same time, the course is washed by Akhtuba, Enotaevka and most ducts (as a rule, a week before the main ice plant).
The main ice trip is a complete opening of the Volga on a plot from the deputy to the Black Yar (although individual and fairly large areas, for example, under Tsaging, Aman can already be open). This event takes place, as a rule, from March 15 to March 25. There are cases of early ice driving in the second half of February. The duration of the ice drill ranges from three to ten days, it depends on the amount of ice (the Volga can climb into one night smooth ice Or get up for a torus for a week). Strong Southeast Wind (Sea), also prevents icebreakers.
As you now understand, leave in spring on the Volga "on the gathering of ice" you can not once. I myself am waiting for a call from a friend from Enotaevka, - calls, the river opened! This means you can gather, a maximum in a week I will witness another ice plant on the Volga.

The first descent of the boat on the water is an event.

All in the raised flooring.

Ice residues, not a hindrance.

Right come, this is when? At the gathering of ice, warm or on the rise of water?
Every time presents surprises.
The main factors of success:
- great experience spring fishing On the Lower Volga
- Good weather, stable and without wind
- One hundred percent place
- Verified team
But the main thing to come. On the Volga Fish is.

The ice on Yenotaevka came down on March 11, the fishermen so far a little - boats eight on the water. Strong wind is very breathing fishing. On Sudaka Kleov is weak, well, there are a lot of tolstolobics, even more than usual.

You can tell about tolstolobikov for a long time, but they are not worth it. If briefly, she hovering out from the ice drift, the foreheads go to the early released deep ducts from ice and wait for the moment when the iceshield is completed.
The concentration of them at the moment when they are hidden from the ice floes very high, that's just from trollgists with crowded to hide. Not even from trollingists, rather from "people chasing with trolling over thick-carobs."
The spectacle is an enchanting, especially for those who sees it for the first time. Dozens of boats at high speed are rumped in a duct, trying to raise thick-carp suspended above wobbler tee. What are trying there, bugs from 200 to 500 kg of forehead a day.
Many "lovers" goes early in spring on the Volga precisely for a thick carp. The scale of this "action" is so great that Estetami from fishing is wanted along the shores of the Moscow-River, it will not even dream in the most terrible dream.
At the same time, thick-carobs are buggy for jig. It is unpleasant when you catch a pike perch, but the creatures everywhere just do not leave you a chance. Eve will work the cord, and you do not even have time to get off the mat, how difficult and stupid disclosure of the next forehead begin. There is even a special technique - "not to cast the forehead", but most often they hurt themselves, so it is impossible to insure them.
Last years, the inspection "inhabit" trolling lovers, but judging throughout this does not stop anyone. Is that the locals felt tightly on this species "catching", the truth is exactly what they know about all raids of fishofer.
As soon as the ice drift is completed, the flocks of thick-carobs dive back to the Volga, dissolving in numerous whims. Now they will catch them much more difficult.
Well, thank God.

The first day was fine. The largest pike perch is caught on the vibrohvost "Mottomo Typhoon" 10cm Chartreuse Shadow http://tk-ugrasport.ru/.../mo.../typhoon/typhoon-10sm/61766.html

The arrow of the Volga and Enotaevka almost cleared of ice from ice. The second day does not stop a strong oriental wind. It's hard to catch, but small shouthes peck perfectly. In the catch of many bonuses from Sazanov and Amurov. The water level falls. It is cold on the spring, and the boats on the water increased markedly.

With a dozen boats, it was lined up in a row on Yotakhovka at the outlet of the Zakmak.

Sudak is active but silicon Primankam Prefers Czech.

Speak sizes are small, until the past one. Mottomo taxis is not gone! But the main thing, the weather has improved after a week of strong and cold wind.

I went a real rocket!

In the spring, it is not hot on the bottom Volga, at least on the water. If on the shore you can walk in a T-shirt, in a boat, especially in windy weather it is very cold. When ice gates, the temperature of the water is slightly higher than zero, and by mid-April it warms up only to seven-eight degrees. So, first of all, it is cold precisely from the water and it is necessary to take into account.
At the bottom of the ice, it is easy to dress, it is a warm thermal pack, a fleece sweater, a winter fishing suit, winter boots, not blowing the hat, gloves, "Podzhopnik" and saving. By mid-April, this kit can be a bit burned, especially if the wind pokes on a sunny day, or when you go to the shore. You want, you do not want, you have to undress. There is already a cap of easier and gloves are not needed, the sweatshirt is a fond, a suit with boots. Autumn, and "Podzhopnik" you use more and less. That's just a thermal pack as the winter, I somehow do not want to get out of it.
Clothes, shoes and equipment should be a very serious level to warm, protect, quickly dry, etc. Dear costumes in the boat in early spring, perhaps, for nothing. I feel sorry for them, gets mud.

Spring B. Astrakhan region Almost never happening to fishermen. The main sentence is a strong wind. The wind of the Eastern and South-Eastern direction annivers the wave, and the Western and South can be taped so that from the boat will blow all the boxes with wobblers and that there can be no speech to hurt.
Another trouble is the sun. Bright and evil sun in a week will turn your face into a red mask with a sealing nose.
Rain and snow charges are quite rare, but rain, this is a real catastrophe. The boat is still tolerant, but without that dirty shore in the rain will turn into hellgy mess.
All possible troubles need to be prepared. Have the right anchor, know where to hide from the waves, provide for the opportunity to dry clothes or change clothes.

All pike perch of standard size.

Among the fishermen, it is customary to discuss the road to the lower Volga, although the "Caspian" route in excellent condition! 1300km in this spring we were overcameed for 13 hours smoothly. At the same time, no races, just go and rarely stop.
It is necessary to leave Moscow for an hour at four in the morning Saturday, so that there are less overtaking, go through the light and in the evening to be in place.

For the past seven years I take with you on the Volga exclusively light boots of their EVA. At different times different. This spring caught with "Lemigo New Generationhttp: http://tk-ugrasport.ru/shop/yekipirovka/obuv/zimnja-obuv/lemigo/muzhskaja-Obuv/New-Generation-701/59696.html
Really the best boots that I have experienced. Unexicated, with a stronger sole and a high tape. Well, for themselves warm.

With a thermal power, I have complex relationships. Not used to one, another annoyed the skin, and in the third even frozen. Only the most expensive "Shimanovskoy" arranged quite a long time until burned in the fire.
In October last year, I dressed in low-cost clothes from Mottomo, very tightly caught in winter and went to HB in March.
What is the most important in thermal underwear? At first, do not stand when you put the motor to the boat, then do not climb when more than eight hours you hang on the waves with frosting on spinning rings.
I definitely recommend: http://tk-ugrasport.ru/.../muzhskoe-Termo.../mottomo/thick-layer

Each day fishing is becoming more interesting!

Yellow Mottomo really works!

And here and yummy! Catch a big white Amur, it's a big luck.

To the question of how much fish is caught, he answered mysteriously - full bath. Well, Jig he is.

We are well equipped and ready.

Yes, usually the first week of April collects on the Volga from Volgograd to Astrakhan, the largest number of fishermen. And since the fish most often concentrates locally through all known places, there is a serious competition among fishermen, and this also applies to trolling and fog.
According to my observations, catching in the crowd of serious bonuses does not bring. The little thing is properly coarse, but more cautious large fish of such chaos in his head does not tolerate. Therefore, in the hunt for trophies on your horizon there should be no other boats.
If you are quite satisfied with the smaller, you should manifest maximum observability for all participating boats. This is the case when more fish They catch not the most experienced, and the most nimble.

Spring Navy on HB. Fish is rare, but the label. In the sense of delicious.

Week on the Volga, this is a solid period to mature for the oars. Remember the saying? "Jew in the ear of the prince!" So, we are categorically strung out from the menu and go directly to the recipe. In the ear main thing so that the fish is fresh. I love my ear of the head of the pike perch and bream (without everyone there. Lang and tomatoes). I cut on the bottom of the potato cant (cubes), immediately peeled head on Luka., and from above the delicious heads (with removed harams). We pour the driver from above so that the heads only barely cover (a lot of water, little taste) and put on fire. After the ear boils, it is necessary to remove the foam, and after boiling, reduce the fire before the ushitsa minutes forty (two-liter The pot) was cooked on slow fire, as they say - "on the bleb". It is not difficult for gas, but at the fire you have to try our best. For five minutes before readiness you need to put four (small) Lovers leaf, ten peas of black pepper and half a tablespoon of salt of large grinding (we are also talking about two-liters Butter). Salt carefully pour out in the end between cooking heads. And in all this, the main thing - the ear can not be stirred, even putting it. Then it will be transparent and very solely delicious. And remember, "there is no you can not!" Try, everything will happen, it is impossible better.

A few hours ago, the Volga River in the area of \u200b\u200bthe city of Kostroma began to form prominations, which means that in the coming days, ice and ice driving will begin. In connection with these fans of the Fish Fish, it is recommended to refrain from fishing trips.
Spring flood time is approaching. The ice on the rivers becomes loose, "eaten" from top to the sun, melt water, but even more destructive actions on it has an amplified spring flow of water in rivers, reservoirs, lakes, which pushes it from below. Every day it becomes more and more porous, loose and weak. It is quite clear that the movement for such ice is associated with a big danger, at any moment it can crumble under his feet and closer over his head.
However, despite the danger that large and small reservoirs are made in themselves, many people go on ice. This is primarily fishermen and children. In order to prevent and reducing the number of accidents on ice, the State Inspectorate on Mulberry Courts of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia in the Kostroma regionwalk conducts patrols of the mass accumulation of fishermen, explaining fishermen - fans of acute sensations all the danger of fishing from ice in the spring. The inspector recall daily about the need to comply with the rules. safe behavior On the reservoirs in the spring and awarded security memos.
Despite the threat of failure of people under the ice, lovers of treated fishing fish, as well as just lovers of hiking, despite the danger, continue to go on ice, exposing their life and health of danger. So, on March 12, 2017, a man failed on the Volga River in the area of \u200b\u200bthe railway bridge in five hundred meters from the shore. The man performed a walk on skis, fortunately rescuers arrived on time. The man was safely removed from icy water and passed to ambulance. From hospitalization, the victim refused.
The ice setting monitoring shows that the ice rate is rapidly melting, its structure changes. River Volga - 0 - 25cm (prominers), the Steater River - 30 - 40cm, the River Shach - 40 - 43cm, the Ugen River - 40 - 45 in some places 30 - 35cm, the Mesa River - 36 cm, the Mesa River - 38cm, for 10 cm ( Promients), Kostroma spill - 30 - 40 cm, Lake Chukhlomskoe and Galichsky - 55 - 54cm.
During the spring flood and ice drift, it is prohibited:
- go out on the reservoirs;
- transfer across the river during the ice drift;
- approach the river in the field of ice plug;
- stand on the rolling shore, exposed to spill and collaborate;
- gather on bridges, dams and dams;
- approach Ice congestion, push the ice floes from the shores;
- measure the depth of the river or any reservoir;
- walk on the flames and ride them.
Remember that in the flood period, even with insignificant ice trim, accidents are most often happening with children. Correct the precautions to children during the ice drill and the spring flood. Staying without supervision of parents and senior, not knowing security measures, children play on the climbing shore, and sometimes ride on the ice floes. Such carelessness sometimes ends tragically.

On the courtyard - it stands mid-May, the height of the flood season and the middle of the forbidden period for fishing. Since the time has to postpone the tackle until the second half of June, then it is time to look back and analyze the past spring season. And the season was in many respects unusual.

Although we tried to reflect the chronicle of events in real time and publish the most important achievements and illustrate their photos from the water, however, many information remained what is called "for the stem." The reason here is quite clear - the default of many details was due to tactical and ethical reasons. Fishermen who have sought stable and outstanding results with great reluctance shared their success secrets, not wanting to cause an excitement around the favorite explored points and leave "water" for themselves. But now, when the spring season is closed, there is no point in hiding all the "secret" data. Although, of course, most of these notorious secrets revealed well along the catch. Nevertheless, it was interesting to carry out the processing of quite large material of spring-2016 and compare with the best years.

Main distinctive features of the environment on the river

Perhaps one of the main features of the current spring on the Lower Volga became a very early period. open water. In fact, this year the ice fishing season was practically not. All winter stood quite warm weather, and, in the end, even with a small rise in temperature at the beginning of February, the ice quickly went. The beginning of the open water is dated February 12 - so early ice on Akhtuba has never been going. Even old-timers do not remember such early spring.

It is often not necessary that early ice freight can mean an earlier opening of the spring season, which fishermen are waiting for. The weather in the spring in our area is very capricious, and the cold can delay until mid-April. And traditional fishing objects in spring, first of all, pike perch, it is very dependent on the temperature and water level. All previous attempts to predict the behavior of the pikepery ended, as a rule, rude miscarriages and errors. Sudak is very capricious and changeable, under the spring weather, and it is necessary to conduct constant monitoring for it in order to respond to any manifestations of its activity.

It is thanks to the unusualness of the season, a strategic decision was made to begin the control faults of Sudak by the forces of almost all of our experts in order to very well imagine the operational situation on the water. In the previous years, the control fishing was walking in a much less intense mode, as a rule, everyone ended fishing in the near zone, from parash to Paul Danilovka, and caught 2-3 hours a day. This year, regular foundations began almost immediately, as soon as it became possible to reset the boats on the water, namely - February 15. It must be said that our efforts on tracking for Sudayas significantly supported the information from familiar local fishermen from Sasyklia, Bugra and Kochakvatki. It can be said that from the very beginning, a rather large group of fishermen worked on the river. And, which was very important, almost every day of the fault was carried out on the big space of Akhtuba, from Mikhailovka at the top of the black market at the bottom.

Water level in the spring of 2016 was not great and not small. This year, the water was significantly larger than in the anti-advertisement of 2015, when the level was abnormally low - Figure 1. It can be said that the current spring condition of water is more or less similar to 2014, but less than in 2013. That is, in terms of water (and, it means, in the depths), nothing unusual this year was not, we can say, the average year of the indicators.

But at the temperature, the situation was completely different. This year was clearly laid down than all the previous ones - Figure 2. In the old years, regardless of the level, water heating in Akhtuba began in the 20th of March, and the achievement of a temperature of 4-5 degrees was observed only in early April (Fig. 2). This year the water temperature reached such values \u200b\u200bby March 25, that is, about 5-6 days earlier. This, of course, is not a very big shift, but more is more important. In 2016, the water began to warm up in February and in the 20s it exceeded 2 degrees. But in previous years until April, the water was just ice! Injury you begin to believe that global warming is still the place to be. Thus, this year for almost a month, from February 26-27 to March 25, the water in Akhtuba had a temperature of 2-3 degrees, which is quite good for fishing. And further water heating sharply seven fish to the active hunt.

The weather was both the weather - for the whole spring was only one short period of March 20-22, when a strong, but short cold northwest cyclone with snow. But in general, the weather was quite comfortable for catching, in any case, much softer than ever before.

Thus, the season of catching this year was really very long, roughly twice as compared to the entire previous period. If you do not consider the intelligence and early catch of a nonitive pike perch, then the beginning of an active claw of a large perch falls on March 24, and he lasted until the very beginning of the ban on April 20, the total duration of the season was 27 days, that is almost a full month.

Speaker distribution on the site

After a brief analysis of weather and water conditions, a ceremony has come to one of the most intriguing sections - where was the "basic fish" in this spring. Of course, the overwhelming majority of fishermen who were caught in our area, watching colleagues, fairly quickly oriented, where did you need to go.

But at the beginning of the season, at the end of February - early March, the clusters of Sudak had to still find. And at first, this task was not solved in any way. Rather, at first, fishing seems to have gone, but only the small smoking fell across less than a kilogram. In the first half of March, at a huge distance, Akhtuba, it was quite successfully committed to groping pits, where there were quite decent flocks of Sudak, but I can't catch something more than 1 kg, we did not succeed. At some point it began to seem that a lot of small perchs. The middle catch for an incomplete day (with a break for lunch and taking into account moving) to the team of two people ranged from 35 to 47 fish on different days. And Kleov was more or less stable throughout the day, so you could catch it quite successfully and in the early morning, and at lunch. Interestingly, Sudak was measured, as if calibrated, the overwhelming mass of caught fish was weighing from 500 to 800 grams. Later, at the end of March, we specifically took a sample of a small pike perch on bioanalysis and found that almost all of these fish had the same age - 3 years. So, they were born in that many-year 2013, when the flood was high, and the water was held almost until the 20th of June. Thus, we received another proof that many years have positively affect the reproduction of our fish. So, in the following years, when this generation is growing, we have a good chance of a successful catching of a good, a large pike. True, there is a reverse side of the medal. Namely, the wounded water 2015, when, most likely, the spawning of the fish was unlikely to have passed normally, and the generation is likely to be scarce. Unfortunately, these "waves of numbers" affect the state of the herd for many years.

A distinctive feature of the early spring fishing of Sudak, albeit small, there was a very high effectiveness of the jig fishing and almost a complete failure by trolling. In the old years, even small pike perch was equally successfully caught using both jig and trolling equipment. But this year in the behavior of the fish there were some strange deviations. At first, this fact seriously complicated reconnaissance and search for clusters, because our experts and acquaintances to search for fish were used by trolling. And first, especially at the end of February and the very beginning of March, incorrect conclusions were made - that there are no fish or she is waiting for water warming. But, one day, afternoon of useless trolling on the film above the village of Budgor one of our teams knew anchor to push the wobbler seated in the coryghas. And so far one has been engaged in rescue works, another boredom took the jig spinning. And the fish came across the first cast. And then - more and more. And Sudak Kleval greedily, if he was not able to cast on the first blank, then the fish did not let the bait before the boat itself. Moreover, in the very plot that literally disappeared along and across wobblers.

Photo 1. At the beginning of the season, it was practically failed to be aligned with a large pike, the smallers prevailed across the river. But it will grow up and in the following years we have a chance to good fishing Already a weighty court.

Jig turned out to be a real chopstick, as the other days have already gone under the flag of stable catches throughout Akhtuba. Since quite a lot of fishermen were involved in the intelligence, our small discovery (actively use jig) quickly spread among our temporary community and thereby managed more or less well to establish a picture of the state of Sudamoy Klava. The conclusions are as follows immediately after the departure of the ice and up to the heating of water about 4 degrees on the Akhtube from the Bugger to the Black Market there was a period of a powerful Jora small pike perch. This little point came across almost everywhere at depths from 3 to 7 meters. True, deeper areas remained unproductive, for a long time there they could not catch anything at all. Nevertheless, by itself, catching a small pike perch, although it could not be quoted high from the point of view of an athlete, he instilled the hope that the larger Sudak would go after the trifle. Perhaps for the first time in many years, we faced the situation of a massive church of a small perch in a huge space in the early post year.

Only the disgusting trolling results were alarmed - the smaller did not want to catch in the wobblers, even if they put the bait of a small size and the fish was completely on the brow. And vice versa, even when they put a large 9-12 cm vibrochvosts, calculated, by big account, on large sickles, the little thing was fine, pursued them to the boat itself and mercilessly biled the tails on the baits.

Along with fishing according to Akhtube, our experts actively collapsed and the Volga, however, mainly in the near radius - from Perovsky Zatka to the entrance to the parash. But the Volga most attempts did not make any attempts - the water for a long time, almost before April, was cold, and the fish, apparently, did not show herself. True, one of our most experienced teams - Alexander Davydov and Vladimir Maryshev several times was able to find a small cluster of pikeperes and fell good to jig. Two times, this pack stood on the collars at a depth of 8-9 meters "At White Bucken" at the entrance to the parashine, and another couple of leaves were at the very beginning of the Perovsky Zakona, in a gland at a depth of 7-8 meters. Unlike Akhtuba, even decent fish weighing up to 2 kg came across the Volga. Alas, but no system in the "Volzhskaya" fishing could not be established - the impression that the successes of our team were related to the fact that they had groped some kind of running pike perch, which was not held in these stagnas.

Photo 2. Jig on the Volga in early March gave rare minutes of short exits, but the fish were much larger than on Akhtuba.

As a result, by the 20th of March, it became finally clear that it was necessary to increase the efforts of our guests to start the arrival of our guests, but also for a major trick. Therefore, starting from March 15-17, it was decided to narrow the area of \u200b\u200bfinding a large pike perch, not to go to a distant distance (under Mikhailovka and Bud, below the black market down) and focuses in the near zone, from parash (maximum) of the third waterproof.

Oddly enough but turnstanding torque Spring fishing was a powerful cyclone, which came to us March 20-21. Conditions for fishing were simply impossible - strong wind, wave, cold (frost!), Wet snow and all other charms, with this related (photo 3). It would seem - sit at home and not stick out. By and large, this was exactly how it was, and units came to the water. But thanks to the stubbornness of good fishermen, it was possible to make a small opening of the season - to add, at least three sites, on which there was quite a decent Sudak: 1) Below the feet of Paul Danilovka, closer to the exit of the Eric Logatin; 2) on the edge of the pit on the third waterproof and 3) opposite the second waterproof. As it turned out in the future, the third place and became the main thing in this season. But with "Paul-Danilovka" and, especially, with the third vodka, everything turned out to be much less interesting.


Photo 3. These natural cataclysms happen in spring. They scare many many, but the most convinced all the same goes to the river and return with a wonderful catch - this event happened on March 21, 2016.

For recent years We try to closely and carefully record the places of the main clusters of Sudak in different seasons. Spring is no exception, even more so, the period, in our opinion, is of particular interest for very many of our guests. As it turned out, over the past four years, since 2013, there has never been more or less than normal coincidence in areas where large pike perch. So, in 2013 (and then there was a very high water level in spring, an average of approximately +2 m), very good fishing Was in Parachka, then a large flock of Sudak was standing on a very small patch from the entrance to Damanovka to the exit of Paras in Akhtuba. In addition, in the same multi-year year, a pike perch was patheted above the first villages. In the next, 2014, when the level was also decent (approximately +1.5 m), we managed to add very dense and powerful clusters of pike perch on the site from the boogue to the lubricants. And in the past, low-water year, the main "commercial" cluster of the pike perch was on watering - the section of the Akhtuba is higher and below the lopatine of the Erika. In the current, average, at the level of the year, the accumulation of pikepets was formed in the region of the second waterproof, above and below it for the flow. It must be said that for several years, the "second water" was a low-prospective area, although we constantly did control facments and tried to find fish there. Most likely, the underwater relief and the flow structure on the plot varies significantly every year.

All fishermen are well known how Sudak loves to stay at the river areas with a complex underwater terrain - either in places of longitudinal rods (sharp depth beds), or vice versa, in places where transverse ridges are formed on the day. Most likely, such a love of Sudak to the crossed underwater relief is due to complex flows forming above it. So, behind the transverse folds, and the ridges, the incident flow is converted into a steady anti-cryclonic vortex that transfers water from the waterproof thickness towards the bottom. A more complex system of vortex flows is formed on the depth furnaces - rods. In conditions of the incident flow of water along the entire length of the brow, a chain of cyclonic vortices is formed. In addition, on the ray of the river from the small coast, a bottom descending current passes, which, facing the whims along the crest of the brow, enhances the transfer of water from the strata towards the bottom. As a result, there is a stable zone of vortices - rollers, a kind of "vortex tube" with a well-pronounced clamping effect (transfer of water from the thickness to the bottom layers), which is the stronger than more speed The main stream of the river. As a result of the existence of such complex system The flows in the region of transverse underwater crests and along the row drives from the waterproof thickness (almost from the surface) jets of descending flows, drift invertebrates and fishes are captured, their permanent tray into the bottom layer, in the vortex rollers zone. In this case, the accumulation of pike perch is due to the formation of a zone of increased concentration of feed objects in the bottom area, which increases the efficiency of fish nutrition in deep sections of Akhtubinsky film. In fact, the pike perch in the bottom layer of water from the predator-hijacker becomes a predator that lifts the prey, and the zones of vortex flows for it are "hydraulic shelters."

However, every year on Akhtuba there is an alternation of the entire underwater relief on a huge space, as a result of which the dramatic change in the entire appearance of the underwater situation occurs. This change is the result of the action of the reset of water on the hydropower plant, the ice setting in winter and even the actions of the winds. Therefore, it is almost impossible to predict changes in the underwater relief, we only in a state by constant intelligence find the parking lot of Sudak and only then study the underwater relief and find an explanation to the current situation.

In fact, the success of pike perch in the spring of 2016 in the area of \u200b\u200bthe first villages was the result of exactly the great work done by our experts. The fact is that our managed to find one very interesting element of the underwater relief, which for a long time remained unrecognized for other fishermen. The place opposite the second waterproof is quite well studied by our fishermen, and at first glance, there is nothing particularly interesting there. From the side of the gentle shore, a well-pronounced browment "5.5-6 meter", which has a profile curved along the straggle. But it happened that a little lower than the second waterproof was only one transverse comb, a kind of underwater elongated hill of high 1.5-2 m, towering over a depth of about 8 meters. He was a little away from the main brought and discover it was not easy. But we were lucky to find it (photo 4). This same hill played a decisive role in fantastic ends of the end of March 2016.

Most likely, this very hill was a hunting place, where Sudak rose from the depths. It turned out that large pike perch was hiding at a depth, but on a short time He went to the hill on the feed - all the pikepets caught in that place had full stomachs. They fought, it can be said, to everyone - in the food lump there were a salt, and guster, and any young fish. At first, it seemed that we had some females, because the belly of large sickles was simply quenched. Even experienced steel that we undermine the population and do not give a fish to pember. But, as it turned out in the future (as they say, the autopsy showed) that most of the caught trophy trophy trophy were males. They just fed very well, and the stretched stomach with prey created the effect of the fact that it was more like a female with caviar (photo 5).

The more intense fattening of males in the spring time is fully stacked in the biology of the species - after all, males will have to guard the nests with a deferred caviar and even for some time to follow the hatched young man. And this process can last a month. During this month, Sudak-dad is nothing and lives exclusively at the expense of fat that has accumulated for spring.

Photo 4. Finally, the reconnaissance brought its results - March 22-24, it was still possible to find the cherished place, where the trophy pike perch. Efforts do not disappear.


Photo 5. Fears that we destroy females in front of spawning turned out to be very exaggerated. As it turned out, most trophy fish are males. In particular, the trophies depicted in photographs are strongly embarrassed males.

So, the reversible days were the days of March 23-25, when fishing of large and trophy Sudaks was set, which is called to flow. However, it would be wrong to limit the area of \u200b\u200bfishing only by one cherished patch. Most likely, in the spring of 2016, there was a very favorable underwater situation in the area of \u200b\u200bthe second waterproof, therefore the trophies, and quite a pretty fish weighing 2-3 kg came across a wider space, and not only around the cherished hill. It can be said that the length of the length of approximately 700-800 meters has worked well, in the center of which (as a guideline) was the second waterproof. And let the trophy ships were not all, however, it was possible to enjoy completely solid pike perch (photo 6).

But the main event of the season became, of course trophy ships. They were incredibly much this year. In our memory, since 2001, it has never been so successful seasonWhen there were so many trophy and supere-affofo fish. Opened this session of Sudaks weighing more than 4 kg and more than 65 centimeters long - our standard installed on. On March 23, 3 such fish were caught. However, sharply sprinkled interest in pike perch fishing weighing 8 kg of 500 grams, caught by the team of our old friends - Boris Kochetkov and Mikhail Postnov (photo 7). And in the future, the trophyse score only increased. And this process - catching trophy fish walked to the very closure of the fishing season. We can not deny yourself the pleasure to lay out a small photo of the outstanding fish Spring-2016 (photo 8). The biggest achievement of the current spring was the pike perch weighing 9 kg of 700 grams - it was caught in April, we can say, under the curtain of the whole season. Of course, most fish were caught by trolling, but not all. The winner of the last year's memorial Valery Vasilyev could not not be noted by a series of wonderful prick on jig (photo 9). Not trophies are alone alive fishermen - for the entire present spring, the perishals of the standard size were stably caught.


Photo 6. Catch the trophy - cepete dream Each, but the steady claws of Sudaks weighing 2-3 kg could not but please our fishermen. These fish came across quite decent.

Photo 8. Four pike perch, caught in April, shortly before the closure of the spring season. Wonderful fish and wonderful season! On the last, fourth photography - the very pike perch weighing 9 kg of 700 grams, the record of the season.

At the end of our brief summary of the spring season, I would like to give the numbers of dry statistics - sometimes they allow you to better assess the results obtained. They can be represented in the form of a fairly formal graph (Fig. 3).

Figure 3. Dimensional composition of pike perch spring season 2016. Red line - medium weight Fish in catch.

The first thing to be noted, looking at these numbers - every day in the spring of 2016 there were taught perpetrators. But the size of the catch can not be not impressed. The average fish of fish in the 2016 season was 2169, with fluctuations in different days from 1209 to 3112. We are talking about the average fish weight in the middle catch. We do not want to say that this year there was no little things, quite the opposite, it was a lot of little things and in the period of the main fishing from the end of March before the start of the ban. The point is here in the other. This year, standard and large fish It was so much that the smallest was immediately released back into the reservoir. Moreover, very many fishermen were not taken in the piping catch weighing 1-1.2 kg. We especially noted this fact, because in past years, on the contrary, many people tried to take the fish of any size. It is possible as an illustration to bring a similar schedule describing the situation of 2014 (Fig. 4). It is clearly seen that in the year before last, the trophies were rare and even an event, and the average fish in the catch was only 1291 grams (with oscillations from 1178 to 1452 minutes in different days. So this year the average fish weight in the catch was almost twice as much !

Thus, this spring, and this can be said quite confident, the dream of a fisherman came true. Firstly, the fish in our area was in a decent amount, secondly, it was unusually many large individuals, and most importantly - third, the fishing was the most classic - to catch the fish, you need to work hard, but the work was rewarded with the catch of Sudak-Standard Between which a large and trophy pike perch completely sustainably came across. As a result, every minute on the water was thrown unexpected surprise and did not want to leave home! What else is needed by fisherman? Therefore, our Lower Volga was and remains the wonderful place where dreams of real fishing come true in many.
