Fishing in autumn on the lakes: what to catch, what kind of fish and where to look

Fishing in autumn on lakes and ponds is different from
fishing on the river . All experienced anglers who hunted for fish on the lake surface and fished in flowing water will agree with this. All the nuances and differences lie in the fact that the water in lakes and reservoirs is in a different mode. Reservoirs are stagnant low-flow, the mixing of water layers is weak, the temperature regime is significantly different, oxygen saturation occurs differently than on the river.

Features of lake and pond fishing in autumn

Fishing on a lake in autumn is different from any other body of water with a course – a river, stream or tributary. The lake belongs to a special type of water system, so fishing on the lake in autumn has a completely different character. Unlike fishing on the river, fishing on lakes in autumn has its own characteristics:

1. Due to the fact that the lake is almost always smooth and quiet and there is no current, the fish leads a sedentary lifestyle, compared to the river . Since it is less mobile, it grows to a large size compared to the river. Even if the sizes of lake and river individuals are the same, the former still weigh more.
2. At the same time, lake fish are less powerful due to the fact that they do not have to constantly fight with the current.
3. It is easier to find fish sites on the lake , both by external signs and with the help of an echo sounder.

   

4. Lakes have warmer water than rivers. In connection with this feature, heat-loving fish are found in them – crucian carp , carp . The water in the lakes cools down more slowly in autumn .
5. Pike , zander , perch in most cases do not take the bait as aggressively as on the rivers .

   

6. Not all lakes and ponds have predatory fish , unlike rivers. This should be taken into account when choosing gear for fishing.
7. The technique of fishing on the lake is different from the technique of fishing on the river . If on the rivers you need to constantly change places and look for predatory and peaceful fish, then on a lake for peaceful fish, bait in one place and fishing using feeder tackle, a donkey or a float fishing rod will work best. On the predatory one, it is worth catching on spinning, mugs and vents, having previously studied the nature of the bottom with the help of an echo sounder, tapping the bottom with jig heads, or getting information from local anglers.

It is possible that other fishing methods may be applicable in different water areas.

What kind of fish are caught on the lakes in autumn and where to look for it?

Fishermen determine the arrival of autumn by the first flying cobweb. During this period, the temperature of the lake surface drops significantly. But from peaceful fish it is still possible to hunt for
tench ,
crucian carp and
carp . Pike fishing on the lake in autumn is carried out on bait-boxes and
mugs , which must be located at a distance from the shore.

It will not be difficult for a fisherman with many years of experience to determine at what time the pike began to eat. Usually its beginning on lakes starts 1-2 weeks later than river pike in the same latitudes.

Roach is found in autumn at a depth of 1-3 meters. There is something to eat here. The roach feeds on cereal grains, insects and their larvae. Here you can also find pike and perch, as they prey on roach fry.
To fish out burbot , you must choose a moonless night. And there is a burbot in the areas of the bottom where the snag is located, or in rocky pits. For thickets and difficult snarled places, we recommend using an unhooked frog, for example,
Wobbler-frog :
In addition, the fish chooses its habitat under a steep bank, with littered water and shrubs hanging over it.

Parking places

Autumn tests the strength of fishermen. Despite the fact that the weather is warm, and there are still no clouds in the sky, the process of fishing for fish becomes an order of magnitude more difficult. As the vegetation gradually dies off, the water becomes clean and transparent. Bait at this time practically does not work, so you should not spend money on expensive formulations with the hope that they will be effective. It is better to give preference to strongly smelling sunflower cake, honey or pieces of chopped worms. Unlike summer time, in autumn the fish change their habits and places. She moves to other areas, is cautious and gets scared of everything. As soon as the first cold snap comes, the flocks go to the depths to find a secluded place or a hole at the bottom. It is interesting to know that weighty baits perform well in autumn, for example, one of the novelties of the market is a Quaker wobbler with an actively rotating tail. Thanks to active vibration and non-trivial movements, even passive pike, perch, and zander respond to TwistBait. Read the detailed specifications and make sure visually in
bait performance .

Catching various fish on the lakes

On the lake, you can use any gear. It all depends on the skill of the angler and the appropriateness of the application. The simplest and most common tackle for fishing peaceful fish is a float fishing rod. When fishing from the shore, you need to work with a 5-6 meter rod. You should not choose heavy models made from cheap materials, since fishing is active in autumn and your hand will quickly get tired of such forms. In addition, the flexibility and sensitivity of the rod plays an important role. When fishing from a boat or close to the coastline, it is better to work with a 4 meter rod. Such a tackle is very light, the hand does not strain during fishing, in addition, it allows you to make a biting cutting during a bite.

The roach still sticks to the coastline, as there is a lot of vegetation in September and there is something to profit from. These are seeds, various larvae and insects. As bait when fishing on lakes, it is better to use
bloodworms and
maggots . To improve the bite, it is recommended to change the hook with a small dark mormyshka.
As for other baits, you can use a grandmother and a bloodworm. Since all fish go deep from the surface of the water, the best type of tackle for fishing is a bottom rod. Fish are active during the day, at dawn and at dusk. Catching bream in the fall on the lake is as follows: the hook is equipped with a spindle, crawling out, peas, a glomerulus of maggot. The feeder casts are made to the depth, gradually probing the unevenness of the bottom and finding out the possible parking of the bream in a particular reservoir.

In addition to bream, you can catch bream, large roach, ide and perch. If fishing takes place on live bait, which is used as
bleakor gudgeon, you can even fish pike perch. On a sunny day, fishing on the lake for a grasshopper is effective. When it gets cold completely, donka is effective. With warming, the water near the coast warms up better, the fish tries to stay in shallow water – in bays located along the wind, as the wind drives warm water into the bays. For predatory fish, various live bait rigs are used, fishing for spinning, less often for bottom gear. In autumn, the perch prefers to descend to a depth of 3 meters or more. It can also be found along seaweed. If you use circles to catch perch, you can often fish out pike perch in the bycatch. The circle must be equipped with a leash.

Mid-Autumn – Late September – October

The bite of the line at this time stops. In the warm evening hours, goldfish, ide, carp peck, the rest of the time fishing is weak. Burbot bites mainly at night. By this time, he rolls down to permanent parking places, so he does not try to sail away from this place for long distances. Remarkably, on a stormy night there can be a big catch.

If they have already decided on a place, you can even catch a trophy specimen. Biting perch is sluggish. In rare cases, it can be caught in circles if you look in holes with a rocky bottom. Pike during this period is at a depth, for the capture it is necessary to use mugs filled with live bait. On an identical rig, you can fish out a perch. The predator also bites on sheer lure with additional bait, on mormyshka, float fishing rod. The fry should be used as bait.

Mid – end of October

When it gets cold, grayling , silver bream, perch, pike perch and roach are still relatively active
. Ide in cold weather loses interest in baits.
To catch him, as well as to catch roach, you can use a worm as bait. In inclement weather, pike perch is located closer to tributaries with muddy water. To catch it is necessary to use a donk with a fry or crawl out. Small podyazyki and roach are at shallow depths, they can be caught on the mormyshka. Most often they can be found next to dying algae. For breams that are at a depth, dung worms, previously tied in a bunch, will serve as a special delicacy. They should be looked for on the border of a quiet area with an undercurrent from springs. Breams in October should be fed.

However, when fishing with circles, you can still catch trophy fish. \ In the evening, in deep, quiet places, you can catch bream and silver bream. If a place of their biting is found, then they must be remembered, since most likely they will stop in this place for the winter. And next to them will be roach and perch. https://tytkleva.net/lovlya-xishhnoj-ryby/spinning/strategiya-i-taktika/lovlya-okunya-na-mikrodzhig.htm After the first snowflakes start flying in the air, the fish will look for the deepest places in the lakes . To catch an ide, you need to use a mormyshka with a planted headstock, you can also use a water worm. Near the shore or in the area of ​​​​shoals, you can count on burbot fishing, but you need to catch it on a rainy night.

november season

In November, when there are no leaves on the trees, the rudd and bream stop pecking and hide at great depths. You can catch a perch on a jig with a sheer luster. Predators should be looked for depending on the depth of the lake or reservoir. In small water areas, perches gather in flocks and stay in the upper water, in large lakes they are located near the confluence of small rivers. Roach gathers in flocks at a depth starting from 3 meters. It can be found in the pits at the bottom. You can catch roach in the places of its feeding – next to the piers, on shallow dumps, next to drooping algae. It is better taken on a float fishing rod. As a bait, a grandmother, a bloodworm and a worm are used.
The pike does not react well to any tackle and this continues until the surface is covered with ice. The success of fishing in the autumn will depend on the choice of a place for fishing, the right tackle, bait and bait. It also does not hurt to know the habits of different types of fish in the fall.
