Very tasty diet but difficult to fish.


Some times during a season it is possible to meet very difficult situation. Fish passes to exclusively high-calorie diet. In July, August and September to fish there is accessible a caviar pink salmon which breeds in many rivers of Kola peninsula. During the spawning the caviar part is carried away by water. It is very accessible and high-calorie forage for fishes. Therefore  fish often ignores   usual baits below places of spawning.
 Such picture repeats also in the autumn. After water level lifting, the caviar part is carried away by a current from spawning places. Fishes start to be fed with exclusively caviar and often leave the usual places. It leads to problems at catching of fishes. It is necessary to find places of a congestion of fishes and to find a way of catching and bait presentation. Heavy imitations    presented near the bottom usually helped. Probably, heavy nymph got to a sheet of water at the bottom. Here fishes selected caviar. On the other hand, it is possible to explain efficiency of a heavy fly to that full fish simply did not want to rise from a bottom.   So, fish ignored flies in thickness of water.

Grayling x-diet. Do you know?


Here there were no problems. Fishes pecked well. But I was interested by what they ate? I have found small stones and a brown-red liquid in a stomach of the fishes caught in this day. There were in stomachs of fishes no signs of the eaten insects and their rests. Who knows,  what fishes ate? Can be there is a recipe of more successful catching?  I understand that the analysis of a contained stomach is very primitive way to understand behaviour of fishes. 
But also at this stage there are enough riddles, such as this. And what you think of it?

Grayling fishing. Diet #5. What can I do?


There was very difficult period in the middle of September. Fish on some sites of the river has passed to exclusively selective food. Some large fishes     left   fast water places and stay in a deeper places. It has appeared that they eat exclusively mollusks. For any reason these mollusks have got in drift. Usually they are strongly attached to stones. Probably, the water cold snap has led to change of behavior of these organisms. Sometime mollusk was drifting near the surface and it was possible to see a splash of feeding fish.

Fishing technique. A quick view on salmon and trout fishing.



Fishing technique. A quick view on salmon and trout fishing.
 Here are   you can see some fish from Chavanga (Vasil photo) and top Varzina (Alex photo) rivers. There are short description of popular fishing technique using for salmon and trout on the both banks of Kola Peninsula.
 Interest of fishes to objects on a surface - history old and peculiar not only to the rivers of the north of Kola Peninsula. Bomber it is known in fly-fishing as a variant of superficial bait. The same curiosity is shown by fish everywhere to the most different subjects dragged at a surface. 
 The bomber size and buoyancy   have appeared approaching for fishing salmons and trout. But I think, matter is not in a fly,  but in a surface waves The wave involves not only salmons,   chubs and     other white fishes react in a same way. It is possible to remember the fact of interest of salmon fishes described in the literature to a place of an input of a tippet in water. At bait movement here the waves is formed too.    
There is a method of catching of a salmon by wet fly which is close to the dry fly fishing. The fly is fastens in asymmetric knot and after cast downwards and across moves at a surface. At  river currents and cast directions depends, as it will work. If to throw across, the fly is dispersed on an abrupt loop and goes with a wave at the surface. If to direct a cord downstream, the fly behaves more easily and leaves more deeply. This method of provocation described as “riffling hitch”, was at one time very popular.   It has   a lot of nuances and to apply it costs not only on the salmon rivers.
If to follow further by the way of activization, it is possible to remind of a method of an aggressive wet fly and it’s variant with fast strips. The method is described for provocation of summer fish, for inactive salmons. But if to pass from classical wet and salmon flies to streamers, it has appeared that in the spring and in cold water it is good for deep places.   After cast across a current it is possible to process quickly the big area in search of active fish.
In work on the areas the method deep streamer suits. Initially it has applied to catching sea trout, it was necessary to present fly   deeply     and to spend it at a bottom. For a salmon it is done all as. The standard sinking tackle and flies on a short tippet are good.  A fly passes all the width long the rivers suits on an arch combs. Here strips are not necessary, it is necessary to throw across the river, mend line    downstream and the current itself will disperse a fly.  
 Activization of conducting demands careful selection of flies. On a fast, powerful current rigid enough, volume and elastic elements are necessary. For quiet reaches in which fish likes to stand in the spring, other fly and other technique is necessary. Force of water here is insufficient what to keep a usual salmon or wet fly. The bait should be conducted literally by a rod tip. Such original presentation is mentioned in the literature as “working the fly”. All flies created for reservoirs with standing water have approached to the salmon rivers. These are type   “woolly bugger” fly with mobile elements from a feather marabou, chickabou and other soft material. I had cases of    salmon attacks on marabou during trout fishing.

Biggest, biggest trout!


Here where hugest  trout!
We managed to organize fishing of these largest trouts on Kola Peninsula. It undoubtedly one of the best places for catching! We know that many fishers want to catch delicate tackle and on a dry fly. There is such possibility. In July is just time of mayflies occurrence   on the river. This is a best time for catching on a surface. By the end of July and in August there are a lot of other insects. It is possibility to diversify methods of catching. Fishing on sedge imitation   is effective,   nymphs are effective every time. Closer to the autumn and in the beginning of September water cools down, the temperature falls. Fish becomes extremely aggressive. This is a time of a streamer and the largest fishes. The season will end in September, 15th with the beginning of spawning of trout. Ask, what tippet to use for fishing on a dry fly?   Answer is - 0.27 mm. - shock!!!

High speed feeding. Diet #4. Grayling fishing.


The summer lasts very    short and all live starts with improbable speed! 
 In the end of June there comes northern summer. Water gets warm to 14-16 degrees. At this time there is a great bulk of insects, stoneflies and then sedges. Nymphs and wet flies still well work. There is effective a catching on a water surface. 
It is almost convenient to catch on flies simulating adults sedges on a surface. For more aggressive catching it is possible to use flies  with  deer hair. Such flies attack often not only a trout, grayling but also a salmon. At this time water becomes purer, level decreases also a salmon shows more and more interest to fly on a water surface.
The success depends on a correct choice of a place of catching. On each site of the river fish is fed differently. It is necessary to pick up the necessary fly and correctly present it.
