The grass perch inhabits the coast is insignificant, his weight does not exceed 200 grammes. Deep perch, the conducting predatory image of life, reaches half-meter in length and weight of 3 kgs. The perch is caught during wholel year exepting period of the spawn, on the brutal and the artificial baits by all kinds of the fishing tackles. It's not bad to catch the perch by the tackle with fishing float. It with nozzle desert to the edge of the grasss, to the snags and stones. The ripples on the water surface promotes success. In a calm it is useful some times to pull the bait by the tip of the fishing tackle. If not a biting - desert in other point, until you find the school of the perchs. The perch have a greedy biting. It's necessary to hurry with hooking to prevent too deep swallow of the hook.

At the end of summer (best in middle of August) the perch is perfectly caught by spinning on the small imitation fish or much better on tackle, named "Macarony". "Macarony" it's the pieces of white chlorvinyl tube by thickness about 4-5 mm and length about 30-35 mm.To the fishing line with plummer adheres 4-5 leads length by 6-8 sm. On each lead put the dress chlorvinyl tube and adhere the hook or small double hook. It's nesessary to carry out the deserted tackle close to a surface of water. Some anglers adhere to fishing line a large float, made from foam plastic or the peace of the wood.

The best nozzle for the bream is a small clew of muckworms, put on a hook or 2-3 fly grubs. When catching on a fishing tackle with a float the biting of the bream looks as follows: the float rises upwards, lies on water, again rises and leaves in depth. With a small nozzle it's necessary hooking when a float is lie, with a large nozzle - when a float will begin to be immersed. When catching with boat on the ground fishing tackle it's necessary hooking with any fluctuation of the nod. Hooking should be rather long.

The pike

The pike is the most known predatory fish. Prefers the quiet water. Lives in alone in places, convenient for watching of a victim: near the fracture of river bottom, near boulder, near sink log, near snags, near undermine coast, among undergrowth of water plants, where well masks thanking to her variegated colouring.

The running of nozzle is necessary to make jerky, creating illusion of a movement ill fish. The alive fish as a nozzle on a float fishing tackle lowered into semi-water level near the border of the undergrowth and in the glades among it, on clean sites - in 0,5 - 1 meters from river bottom. It's not necessary to hurry with hooking that the pike is deeper swallow the nozzle. In the spring pike catch on superficial places, where faster water gets warm. In hot time more successful catching on dawn. In the autumn the pike moves on depth and is fed all the day. The feeding period continues after ice establishment. In the winter the pike is caught better in thaw. The pike is bite well at the end of winter - before spawn.

The burbot

The burbot is the unique representative of the cod-family fishes in fresh waters. Prefers the rivers and lakes with clean water and sandy-stony bottom. Lives alone in places with shelter: under snags, under stones, in undermined roots of a trees, in holes, near the quay, near the support of the bridge. The burbot eats a small fishs and a frogs.

The ground fishing tackle is throw near a coast to the clean place near a neighbourhood with a hole, a snags, the heap of stones. The best nozzle for the burbot is the ruff more often dead with slash on a side. The burbot deeply swallows the nozzle, not going from a place, and aspires to leave in snags. For this reason it's necessary to leaven't surplus of the free fishing line and more often to check tackle. One or two week after freezing-over the burbot motionlessly costs under the ice, and then renews reception of food. At winter catching as well as in the autumn the nozzle it's necessary to lower on river's bottom, the fishing line to adhere to a stick, which to put across the hole in the ice. In the morning it's necessary to check up tackle. If the nozzle will appear on a way of a movement of the burbot, the success will be supplied. The burbot is greedy bite in December before the spawn. In the spring with warming of the water the biting of the burbot stops and the burbot will run into hibernation up to autumn cold.

The catfish

The catfish is the largest predator of the fresh waters. The catfish prefers the warm water. Lives alone in the cluttered channels of the rivers, in undermines at abrupt coast, in whirlpools, in the lake cavitys with the snags at the bottom. the catfish hunts in twilights and on dawn, sometimes in the afternoon. Eats a fishs, a frogs, a molluscs, sometimes the water-fowl birds. The catfish reaches the length of 5 meters and the weight of 350 kgs. The catfish is caught in warm season by the ground fishing tackle, by "croaker", less often by spinning. During the catching by the ground fishing tackle the nozzle it's necessary to lower on the river's ground in whirlpool or on coastal shoal near rapids, near an exit from the hole, in a mouth of inflow. As nozzle used a live fish or a frog. During catfish catch by spinning used the large vibrate imitation fishs from cupper or brass. Very effective the catching of a catfish on the "croaker". The "croaker" is the bently wood or metal tool, terminating by flat patch. During impact about the water the "croaker" issues a gurgle sound, attracting a catfish. To catch the catfish by "croaker" it's more convenient with assistant. One angler operates a boat, other manipulates tackle. The tackle at catching on "croaker" consists of a strong cord on the coil with adhered to it the heavy plummet. Above the plummet to a cord attached half-meter lead from kapron with large forged hook. As nozzle on hook puts on the large frog. It's necessary to conduct a boat by river's flow and to lead the nozzle on a deep place near the river's ground. After a series from three impacts by "croaker" on the water follows a pause a few seconds. If the biting has not followed, impacts by "croaker" repeats more right or left. After the hooking the large catfish tow on the shoal and there take out him on a coast.
