In the Russian Far East, fishing for smelt with spinners, using fly rods, is becoming more and more popular. All this is not accidental, because such fishing has a lot of advantages:
Fishing with fly rods spinners is a more sporty fishing way;
With a stable bite, you can catch much more fish than any other tackle;
Your hands always stay warm, even in the coldest and windiest weather;
And perhaps the most important advantage is those incomparable sensations that you get when fishing with fly rods spinners.
The fly rod average length is 94 cm, which is explained by this fishing method very principle. They are fishing in two fly rods. Most fishermen impose one spinner on each fly rod, but more experienced ones attach a reel with several spinners already imposed on each rod, for their quick change in the fishing process. The standard line diameter for this tackle is 0.12 mm. The spinner is tied at the line end so that it is in a free loop for better play. This tackle does not require a sinker, since fishing occurs from under the ice and the spinner sinks under its weight.
Best of all, smelt is caught on the fly rod spinners at the season beginning (during the freeze-up period), when the main smelt schools rush under the first ice, following the food supply (plankton, krill).
The first ice becomes in shallow bays and rivers estuaries flowing into the sea. You can catch smelt on fly rods throughout the season. On the last ice, smelt rushes to shallow water for spawning, during this period it is also very effective to catch it with spinners. In addition to smelt, you can catch Zubar and navaga with a fly rod.
The fishing principle implies alternate twitching of the fly rods. When a fish takes a spinner, it is pulled out in one fell swoop and thrown off onto the ice. The fly technique must be adjusted to the bite.
A various colours mobyskin (latex) small piece: green, red, white, and so on is often hung on the spinner. The fishing very result depends on the correctly selected spinner. Now there are many spinners working forms, which in turn can be made from one metal or a different metals' combination. This spinner type does not imply a barb presence on the tip.
