As we all know, winter fishing requires people to find fish, because fish have a small range of activities in winter and tend to gather in certain places to form fish nests. So, how do you find these fish nests?
Below, we will introduce you to a simple and practical way to find a fish nest with ease.
Let's first take a brief look at the habits of fish in winter, in the cold winter, the thermotropism of fish will be particularly obvious, and the temperature will be high and will gather togetherIt is also because the low water temperature causes the fish to be less active, stiff and do not like to swim, so they look for a place that gives them a sense of security, which is also the reason for their colony.
Knowing these habits of fish in winter, it is easy to find the location of the fish nest, take a piece of water, which piece of color is dark, even if there is not an obvious difference from the surrounding area, which location is easy to hide fish, it is likely to be a fish nest, why do you say that?
Clause. 1. Although the fish in winter are stiff and do not like to swim, they are definitely not stationary, and the water quality will be disturbed if they move, not to mention the schools of fish, so the color of the water in the place where there is a fish nest is darker than the surrounding area, which is easier to find in the case of clear water quality in winter.
Clause. Second, the color is deeper than the surrounding place may be a low-lying place, then it is relative to the surrounding deep water, one is the deep water temperature is higher, the other is the deep water at the water flow is light, just in line with the fish's thermotropism and find a safe place two habits.
Clause. Third, the color is deeper than the surrounding place may also have something at the bottom, if it is a fallen tree, miscellaneous stones, aquatic plants and other obstacles, it will be convenient for fish to hide;If it is algae, it means that the temperature in this place is higher than that of the surrounding area, and fish naturally gather here.
Based on the above three reasons, if you find a darker area in a body of water, there is a high probability that it is a fish nest, then again, if we go to find a darker area of water, it is very likely that we will find a fish nest.
This method is practical and simple, but it requires a strong insight, and of course there is an element of experience, because many of these areas are not very different from the surrounding color, which is why I said at the beginning that "there is even a small difference between the surrounding area", so you need to pay attention to the anglers.
In addition, it should be noted that finding such an area may not necessarily be able to catch a fish smoothly, because such an area does not necessarily appear in a certain location, and most cases will appear in distant water, which requires us to use a long rod, a cannon rod, or even a casting rod to reach it.
Of course, in addition to observing the depth of the water, there are other ways to help us find the fish nest. For example, observe the bubbles on the surface of the water. In some waters, fish congregate in specific areas and bubble out of the water. The area where these bubbles are usually located is the so-called "fish nest". If you're fishing and notice a lot of small bubbles popping up in an area, it's likely that this place is a fish nest.
It's just that this method has not been successful once in my winter fishing practice, because the activity of fish in winter is low, and there are few large throughput actions that are enough to produce bubbles, and if it is placed in other seasons, it may be a good way to find fish nests, so I feel that it is more reliable to find fish nests in winter or to find places with a deeper color than the surrounding areas. Of course, this method may still work in the south, where the temperature is not too low.
Close contact with nature To sum up, it is an indisputable fact that fish are difficult to catch in winter, and whether we can find a fish nest is the key to how much fish we catch in winter. You can easily find a fish nest by looking at the color of the water. Of course, every body of water is different, and we need to be flexible with this approach depending on the situation.
I believe that as long as we pay attention to observation and judgment, I believe that we will be able to catch the fish we like in winter. I hope the above introduction is helpful to you and I wish you a happy winter fishing!
I am a good fisherman, and I will continue to share what I see, hear, and feel about fishing, and I look forward to the attention and support of fishing friends, and we will see you next time!
