Autumn roach, its habits and fishing in September, October and November

Roach (also called path) is one of many fish that can live in schools in rivers, ponds and lakes. This type of fish from the carp family bites perfectly on
vegetable baits and meat baits with a high content of proteins and fats. Nevertheless, in autumn it is important to know under what conditions it is possible to fish on the track, since with the onset of frost, even early frosts, it is almost impossible to catch this type of fish.

Features of the behavior of roach in autumn

Roach is one of the types of river fish that takes root in different conditions, as long as there is a sufficient amount of oxygen in the water. Habitats are mainly on the outskirts of rivers where algae or other river vegetation grow. Large representatives of this species of fish, unlike small ones, prefer to live at depths, and not near the coast. With the arrival of autumn, the behavior of roach changes every day. From mid-October, flocks are formed for the purpose of joint wintering. At a depth where there is a lot of algae, roach can survive until spring, if not caught by fishing tackle. In autumn, areas of reservoirs with an uneven and obstructed bottom and rivers flowing into reservoirs can also become fish habitats. The warmer the weather, the more likely the roach will swim closer to the surface of the water.

Where roach live in autumn

This type of fish prefers muddy water for its habitat, especially in rivers during floods. The best thing to do is to fish by casting the swing
rod upstream. With the onset of November cold weather, the water becomes more transparent. In this regard, it is important to switch to more inconspicuous and clever rigs. Roach has keen eyesight, and fish’s suspicion and caution increases with clear water. The September tackle is denser and more visible in the water; their sensitivity is insufficient for catching cautious roach.

Fishing for roach in September

If the water in the rivers and lakes is warm, then you can fish with the help of summer gear. As in the summer season, it lives near the coastline. In this regard, the fisherman can use practically on types of baits and baits. If the weather is inclement, then the fish can swim to a depth of 4 meters.

October roach

If the fish lives in quarries with crystal clear water, then it will not swim to the shore.
Top dressing can work safely when it’s cloudy. In rivers and ponds, biting is noticeably more active. Warm weather encourages fish to swim to the shore, especially if there is algae around it.

November fishing sorogi

When autumn comes to an end, the fish begin to live mainly in the depths. In the last month of autumn, the water becomes much colder, and there is food at the bottom of rivers and lakes. In November, it is better to take a closer look at the following fishing spots:

• in underwater pits and whirlpools;
• near reed thickets, near them there must be clear water;
• near coastal cliffs;
• near sunken trees and snags.

The peculiarity of a successful catch in November is that the roach is a schooling fish. It does not live alone, therefore, in the accumulation of prey, there are more chances to catch roach.

Time of day and ideal weather for fishing

Red-finned roach is very sensitive to pressure changes. In damp cold weather in autumn or during fog, you can hardly count on a good bite. To increase the chances of a big catch, it is best to plan your fishing on a fine day when there is a lot of sunshine. If it’s warm and cloudy outside, then this weather is also ideal for fishing. In September, you can go fishing at dawn and catch before lunch. It is important to continue fishing for roach if you take a break until 14-15 o’clock in the afternoon – biting usually resumes during these hours. Mid-autumn is the period when you can fish throughout the day. In October, it is advisable to start fishing after dawn, as the fish is active at about 9 am.

Factors affecting the biting of autumn roach

In autumn, this type of fish is more active than in summer. Roach bites on
bloodworms ,
dung worms and vegetable baits. If in September and early October the fish still feed abundantly, then in November it is not so easy to catch it.

Attention! In the middle of autumn, it is enough to make one cast of groundbait. After 30-60 minutes, the roach will start to peck actively, but the second cast can frighten off the flock.

It is important to find the right food to lure the roach. Do not get carried away with aromatic additives, they can scare off potential prey. You can add a little milk powder or vegetable oil to the bait. The bait shouldn’t draw too much attention to itself, or the food will stand out strongly in dark water.

What tackle, bait and bait are used for autumn roach

The caution and fearfulness of roach increases when the water becomes more transparent with the onset of cold weather. If the line on the line is too thick, the fish will notice it. Unnatural bait is also recognized. Swing rods are the most convenient. A

Fishing for autumn roach on the donk

At the height of Indian summer, roach can live in coastal waters, where there is a lot of turbidity and algae. Water bodies with little or no currents are usually surrounded by algae. To fish in such areas usually float tackle is not possible, but rescue
Donkey . It is important to choose a rod for donkey according to the criterion of sensitivity. The length of the rod should be 4-5 meters, the line should be 0.17 mm in diameter, and the float should be lightweight and very sensitive. When fishing, the float (if any) should be on the surface of the water, and the line should be slightly bent. At the tip of the line you can attach a leash 15-30 cm long. Hooks size 12-15. The bait for autumn is standard, except for the mentioned animal baits – this is
barley, oats, white bread crumb, pasta. For fishing, you can also install a special combined attachment on the bottom.
Types of donuts for fishing roach in stagnant fresh waters:

1. Zakidushka is the easiest tackle option. It can be used at a short distance from the shore. The classic zakidushka has a line 50-100 meters long and 0.25-0.4 mm thick. A slip or blind lead can be attached to the tip of the line. Leashes for zakidushki are also made of fishing line 0.16-0.25 mm wide and 20-50 cm long – they need 2-3 pieces. The hook can be selected in any size, since this element of the zakidushka depends on the volume of the bait and the weight of the prey that lives in a particular reservoir. Such a donk must be fixed on the shore on pegs set in the ground. It is important to attach a bell to the zakidushka on land so that a signal is heard when a fish is caught.

2. The elastic is only suitable if the angler is sure that there are a lot of fish in the pond. Attach an elastic band to the end of the main line. The elastic should be two and a half times shorter than the fishing line. For example, the length of the line is 5 meters, and the rubber bands are 2 meters. It is required to tie a nylon lace with a weight to the opposite end of the rubber shock absorber. There can be up to 10 leashes. It is better to install a donk with an elastic band by sailing on a boat to the place where the roach bait. Elastic bandtackle [/ caption]
3. Bottom tackle with a feeder – the shape of the tackle and its weight can be different at the request of the fisherman. Advice to fishermen – the farther from the coast the place for fishing, the more weighty you should take the feeder. You can make a feeder for placing bait in it from wire, mesh material. The length of the spinning rod 2.1-2.4 meters is optimal for a large donkey. The rod can be equipped with an inertia reel or a spinning reel. In order to lower the rig only to a specific place in the water, it is recommended to stop the line with an elastic band or clip. Instead of clips, you can use a waterproof marker to highlight the length of line you want to cast at a specific distance.

Feeder mounting [/ caption] Tackle can be made from the following materials:

• fishing line;
• sinker;
• hooks with leads;
• bite alarm.

Tackle assembly stages:

1. Oversized reels or pegs that are driven into the shore can become a convenient rod for a while. Reel on the stand [/ caption]
2. The line should be selected based on the intended catch and the chances of bream by-catch. Usually the main line when fishing for a sorogi with a diameter of 0.3 mm is more than enough. The length of the line depends on the fishing conditions. Fishing line longer than 40 meters should not be taken for objective reasons.
3. The weight of the weight must be selected according to the strength of the current in the reservoir. Universal weight 60-80 grams. For the flow, you can take loads with hooks, or combined loads – feeders with hooks on the ground. Feeders with lugs for flowing on fast rivers – the best choice [/ caption]
4. 2-3 leashes are enough for rigging a donkey. If there are more of them, then the lines will get confused.
5. The tackle hook will do # 12.
6. A bite signal is most often a bell, which can be attached to the tackle on the shore. Donka can be the most primitive – rod, reel, hook and signaling [/ caption]

Feeder tackle

The feeder tackle is ideal for fishing on the current, but in a stagnant reservoir, the feeder is not very effective and is far from always better than a much simple donkey.
The length of the rod is optimal up to 3 meters, and the weight of the feeder is up to 40 g. The reel for fishing will fit from the Shimano series 2000-2500. The rod with the reel should not overtighten each other, but should be in balance.
Roach go well to the feeder in autumn [/ caption] For a leash, it is enough to use a fishing line with a diameter of 0.12 mm and a length of up to 25 cm. them worms, peas, corn and pearl barley. It is necessary to throw the bait in a certain place without changing it.Roach go well to the feeder in autumn [/ caption] For a leash, it is enough to use a fishing line with a diameter of 0.12 mm and a length of up to 25 cm. them worms, peas, corn and pearl barley.

Worth knowing! It is important to attach a clip to the spool of the reel just after throwing the tackle into the water – not earlier.

The Gardner Loop is a reliable method for mounting feeder tooling parts. The feeder will be fixed in the right place due to the diverting unit. The catch can be taken even in fast-flowing waters. The only drawback of the feeder is that during operation, the line on it constantly overlaps.

1. First, a Gardner loop with a diameter of 2 mm is made. It is needed to securely attach the leash.
2. Having retreated 20 cm from the loop, you need to make a second one with a diameter of 10 cm. This is required so that the feeder is securely fixed.
3. From the prepared fasteners, you can already build a leash and a feeder.

Fishing for roach in late autumn with float tackle

It is advisable to fish on the rivers with the help of floats that are stable on the surface of the water. To independently build a float tackle for fishing in areas with a weak current, you will need the following materials:

• stopper;
• hook 12 cm with a leash;
• float with attachment and swivel fastener;
• swivel;
• cargo.

Float tackle assembly stages:

1. Fishing rod equipment can be made on the line:
2. Place a stopper on the line and pull it up.
3. Put on the float swivel in the second stage of making the float.
4. Attach the swivel to the end of the line with a Palomar knot . Tie a leash to the swivel.
5. Step back 30 cm from the lower swivel and attach 4 pellets. This will be the main burden of the structure.

Catching autumn sorghi in the wiring

If fishing took place in late autumn, starting from mid-October, then it is better to fish roach in the wiring or, as the fishermen call it, with
Bolognese tackle . If the reservoir is too deep, then the track can only be caught with bottom gear. On small and shallow water bodies in October, the track floats in the middle water layers. Tool making:

1. The diameter of the main line of 0.12 millimeters must be wound on a wire spool.
2. It is worth choosing the smallest float weighing up to 2 g.
3. The rig can be loaded with several grains spaced apart along the height from the float to the support.
4. The smallest hook also needs the smallest hook.

Worth knowing! Roach pays attention to the lure in motion. The chosen groundbait location should be the main area for the float to move.

The difference between fishing in early and late autumn

It is important to find a layer of water where the roach is used to foraging, otherwise the catch may be missed. At the end of September and in the first days of October, individuals begin to hide at the level of the bottom of the reservoirs, where they flock into flocks. This behavior of fish is considered standard behavior before hibernation. At the end of the second month of autumn, the roach finally migrates to winter camps, and there is almost no chance of finding it in shallow water. In this case, the usual gear that is relevant for the warm season will not work. Fishing for roach on the river in autumn in posting – video report: https://youtu.be/0wrkm3dqi7U

Tips and Secrets

In the fall, the roach grows larger due to the accumulated fat. In this regard, the metabolism of fish changes, and it needs food with a high content of calories, and preferably small in weight. It is advisable to make 30% groundbait from animal products. Fishing for crops and breadcrumbs is ideal with a short-tipped hook. If the groove is close to the point of fold of the groove on the hook, the greater the chance of catching fish. In order to catch a large catch of roach in the fall, it is important to take into account the preferences of its habitat. Each autumn month has its own nuances of fishing, and they differ from each other according to different criteria – from weather conditions to the choice of tackle.
