Reservoir Spring Fishing Tips

What are the skills you must know if you want to catch big fish in the reservoir.

First of all, we should choose a good and auspicious day, of course not based on the almanac. Try to choose weather with higher temperatures and calmer winds.

The second step is to choose a fishing location. The weather is relatively cool in spring, the wind is generally strong, and the water temperature in shallow water is relatively low, so we should choose a sunny deep water area, preferably with villages or more surrounding areas. Plants provide shelter from the wind and provide more food for fish.

The third point to note is the selection of fishing lines and hooks. Because the water temperature is low in spring, the fish have little activity, their mouths open very small, and their feeding movements are very light. Therefore, we should choose thin fishing lines and hooks. The sensitivity of thin fishing lines is not inferior to thick lines, and it is suitable for the characteristics of fish in this period, and the use effect will be very good.

Finally, we should pay attention to the choice of bait. After a long winter, fish in spring are in urgent need of nutritional supplements to strengthen their bodies. They desperately need a big meal, so at this time we should prepare a hearty meal instead of vegetarian meals. Earthworms are a good choice, but the fish’s mouth opening is relatively small at this time, so the earthworms need to be cut to about one centimeter and then threaded onto the fishhook for fishing.

There is a lot of knowledge about spring fishing. Today I will introduce the fishing skills in large reservoirs in spring and how to deal with some special weather conditions.

Several tips on fishing techniques in large reservoirs in spring

Countermeasures for fishing in large reservoirs in spring

1. Windy days

Large reservoirs have strong winds and waves, so you can choose a small bay for shelter. It is best to use a larger line group, a large float that is resistant to wind and waves, and a heavy lead drop. The traditional fishing method is best; the line length can be as long as the rod or slightly shorter than the fishing rod, which is convenient for casting. If you use commercial bait for fishing, it is best to rub the bait. The bait ball should be slightly larger to facilitate throwing the rod and not easy to fall off. Earthworms, red worms, etc. can also be used.

2. Foggy days

Mountain reservoirs are sometimes filled with heavy fog. Generally, the air pressure and oxygen content of the water surface are low in foggy days, and fish do not like to bite the hook. However, in fact, fishing friends have achieved good results many times fishing in fog. At this time, the most suitable hand rod is 4.5 to 5.4 meters long, and the length of the hand rod is 4.5 to 5.4 meters. It is not suitable to fish when the edge water is shallow. Fish farther and the water is deeper. The fish are more active. How far you can fish depends on your visual range. The smell of the bait should be heavier and fishy. And when the sun comes out and the fog clears, it will be a good fishing opportunity.

3. Thunderstorm days

It is not suitable to fish in thunderstorm days. It is dangerous and not easy to fish. However, it can be fished after a thunderstorm. It is suitable to use a short pole, such as one with a length of 3.6 meters, to fish on the edge.

4. Long rainy days

It rains continuously for a few days to more than ten days. It is not easy to fish at first, but after a few hours or days, new water and oxygen will increase, and the fish will be active. At this time, fishing in the rain will be very effective. But heavy rain is not suitable for fishing. It is better to set the hook at the water inlet. If the water flow is fast, choose a slower place nearby; fish have the habit of swimming upstream, so try to choose a position as close to the top as possible; the bait should be small but precise.

5. Cold snap days and scorching hot days

In the case of cold snaps and the temperature drops sharply, you can fish on the day or on the second or third day. It is better to fish farther away, such as 5.4 meters, because of the large reservoir The water body is large, and the changes in water temperature will lag behind the air temperature. When fishing on the second day after the temperature drops or in weather that continues to cool down, you should choose a leeward location with deeper water. If it is at the water inlet, it should be at least 30 meters away from the water inlet and choose a water depth of more than 2 meters. In the same way, in early and mid-spring, when the temperature suddenly rises, and the change in water temperature also lags behind for a day or two, you can also go fishing at this time, and it is best to fish not too far or too close, such as 4.5 meters offshore.
