Special mixture- sauna, vodka and salmon.

This command has arrived for the first time on Chavanga river. Fishers from Lithuania and Germany have gathered, talked in English, together caught, went to a sauna and drank Russian vodka. These years we have already started the program with trips on the top sites of the river. Now it is our standard programs. But then we used it at the desire of fishers. It is always interesting to look at new places. The special impression was made by the top site of the river near to falls. In the middle of a season this is good place for large fishes. In stone gorges there is a place for the largest salmons. Here the greatest population of a grayling on the river. With pleasure I remember those days, it was cheerful also fish was active too.

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?
