What to catch chub in summer – the best baits, baits, baits in June, July, August

Chub is a notable and desirable prey for any fisherman – spinning, donor, feeder, fly fisher and floater. Some, especially zealous fishermen, are trying to catch a big-headed handsome man in the spring. But in the middle latitudes of the CIS and Russia, fishing for a chub in summer is especially effective – it is fishing in June, July and August in warm water that brings the best results and aesthetic pleasure. Summer fishing for chub has its own characteristics. Depending on the specific month, the chub’s parking places, the nature of the hunt, and its food supply change.

June chub – how to seduce and where to look

They say: “June – spit on fishing.” But this is not entirely true when it comes to the chub. At this time, it can be quite successfully caught with all types of tackle, depending on the specific fishing conditions and personal preferences. But
spinning chub fishing is , of course, the most reckless and sporty way.

For a handsome red-finned man with a spinning rod in his hands

The June chub continues to spawn, which does not prevent it from actively feeding and hunting. At this time, the chub still feeds on insects falling from tree branches and overhanging bushes. He does not disdain all kinds of snails, worms, dragonflies, amphipods and boogers from the surface and at the bottom of the reservoir. In June, it is worth looking for a chub exactly where its food base is located – under steep banks in pits and pits, in which a variety of beetles that have fallen from branches often find themselves. At the beginning of the month, the chub often still stands at the bottom in holes, among snags, branches, in grassy thickets, in potholes in the banks, in creeks around bends. By the middle-end of the month, it gradually comes out to the rifts and pits in the immediate vicinity of them, likes to graze at the boundaries of the streams at the return flows and on the mirrors – zones of relatively calm water among the rapids.Tadpoles, small fry, spiders and other insects live here. The most suitable fishing time is from 9 am to 6 pm to 7 pm. Visits shallows in the evening.

June is characterized by the fact that the river finally comes to life, living creatures become more active, and with it the predator. At this time, the red-finned dandy is actively moving and can be found in the most unexpected places. Even a nondescript area from the angler’s point of view can bring a long-awaited trophy.

Which spinning rod to take, its a snap

Tackle for catching chub in June is used ultralight, less often light, due to the fact that the baits at this time are used medium-sized, resembling insects and small fry. Test 2-7, 3-10 grams. Fast form. Thin braid 0.06-0.08. Leash made of fine fluor, fusion with the main wattle fence with a “carrot” knot. Reel 1500-2000 according to Shimano classification.

Bait

Chub lures traditionally include
crankbaits , shads, minnows; spinning lures, micro-oscillators, spinners. There are a lot of
catchy lures, wobblers, which are the most versatile for chub in June, include:

1. Minnow : Yo-Zury L-minnow 33, 44, Jackal Chubby Minnow 38, Zip Baits Rigge 45, CrackJack 38, 48, 58, Yo-Zury L-minnow [/ caption]
2. Cranksets : ZipBaits Hickory 34F, Yo-Zuri 3DS Flat Crank, Smith Camion (Magnum), Jackall Chubby, Owner C’ultiva Bug Eye Bait, Megabass Baby Griffon Zero Trout, Jackall Cherry. Jackall Cherry [/ caption]
3. Shads : ZipBaits Khamsin Tiny 40, Pontoon 21 Cheerful (mix of shad with minnow), Yo-zuri Hardcore 0. Yo-zuri Hardcore 0 [/ caption]
4. Ultralight : Strike Pro Baby Pro, Usami Kabu, Rapala Mini Fat Rap, Zip Baits Rigge 35, Tsuribito Baby Crank, Salmo Hornet. Mukay Peppy 27F – another catchy kid [/ caption] Jackall Area Man Vib – such bugs are good in June, vaguely resembling either a fish or an insect [/ caption]

The following variations of wobblers are used:

• by deepening – dip, surface, medium depth;
• buoyancy – floating, suspending, slowly sinking, quickly sinking;
• by weight from 2 to 8-10 grams;
• in length 3-8 cm.

The specific model is selected depending on the fishing conditions and the horizon in which the chub is hunting. From practical experience in the field, it is worth noting that sinking wobblers are more versatile than floating ones. But there are situations when floating ones are irreplaceable – for example, you need to float a wobbler to an inaccessible point.
Pontoon 21 Cheerful – deep-water wobbler, works well on deep rolls and pits up to 2 meters. [/ caption]

With such an arsenal, you can go into battle, in the photo there are classic chubs – Tadpoles, Chabiki, Salm Hornets, Lupastik Cultiva from Ovner, Flat Crenk from Yu-zurri. [/ Caption]

Micro-vibrators and light vibrators

Micro-vibrators have been gaining popularity lately. This is a very interesting and aesthetic way of spinning chub fishing. They work well in overgrown rifts, are interesting for rafting from a boat, more compact and heavy ones are suitable for fishing promising points. The advantage of such baits is that they are very long-range, and in June and August they are often more catchy. We recommend looking at the baits of the following manufacturers: Radio Craft, Ivyline, Nories, Mukai
, Smith, Water Land, Forest, Daiwa, domestic firms SV Fishing Lures, Kosadaka and others.

It is important to correctly select the weight of the vibrator for certain fishing conditions – depth, current speed, the level of the predator’s stay and its activity. In some cases, miniature spoons weighing 1.5-3 grams are good, and sometimes 6-8 grams will effectively catch.

Spinning lures

For chub spinners in spring and early summer in June are used small sizes 00-1 according to the Mepps classification. The most versatile Comet-type petal on the Long Rapids. Popular models include:

1. Pontoon 21 Ball Concept number 0-2 – high-quality lures from Pantun 21, a special paint and varnish coating creates the effect of a volumetric bait. Works on a lazy uniform.
2. The Mepps Comet is a versatile option for a slow current, when the chub is hiding under overhanging trees near steep banks, or for a stronger jet, but for upstream fishing, across the stream.
3. Mepps Black Fury – very good lures for catching chub, there are exactly chub dark colors (see photo). Comet-type petal.
4. Mepps Aglia Fluo 0-2 . Especially good in white in muddy water (in the photo the leftmost one).
5. “Maniacs” (gedz, polyglot, egoist, dogmatics, lelek, bolek) are handmade ultralight baubles made by a master from Ukraine, very high-quality production, they start on the slowest wiring.
6. Lucky John Bonnie Blade – standard spoons for the 0.5-1 meter horizon. The uniform is lazy and stop-and-go.

For fishing deep creeks, potholes in the banks, deep stretches, depths behind / before the rifts, weighted models are suitable:

1. Myran Toni . Tony is a turntable with a thickened core, holds the jet well, very long-range. The petal has holes that create an additional acoustic effect during wiring.
2. Smith Niakis . Niakis is a very high quality turntable, it catches all the fish, including the chub. It does not start on the first revolution of the coil.
3. Mepps Heavy Long . Classics of the genre. The 8-gram model is especially good in the colors in the photo.
4. Daiwa Silver Creek . There is something similar to Nyakis, but the petal is more truncated, suitable for the fastest rolls for fishing across the stream and against the stream on the slowest retrieve.
5. Blue Fox Vibrax . Good spinners from BlueFox. Comet-type petal. Universal lures in interesting colors.

On fast rolls and rapids, the best in-line spinners for chub fishing, they hold the rapids better than ordinary spinners with a petal fastened on a yoke:

• Smith AR Spinner;
• Panther Martin;
• LJ Area Trout Game;
• Mepps XD;
• Blue Fox Vibrax Bullet Fly.

In June, the water is still quite cloudy, so provoking colors of baits will be good – fluo, mat-tiger, red, light green, lemon, white and silver models of lures and wobblers.

Used wobblers, wobblers and spinners for chub

Most wobblers (pot-bellied rolls, shads and fetas, almost all and some minnows) work best on even drive and stop-and-go. Minos can be tweaked, but not very actively, the chub rarely gives preference to torn and sharp wiring – the priority is lazy uniform. Castings – either to the parking spots of the predator, as well as a sector of 90 degrees before and in front of the possible parking of the chub. On the rifts, demolition, upstream and slow upstream wiring works. When posting for demolition and upstream, you can use almost any wobblers, preferably those that have their own game, most often rolls. For the upstream option, heavy narrow-petal long-type turntables, sinking wobblers with deepening, and thick-walled rolling vibrators are suitable. Micro-oscillators and weighted spinners,as well as dippy versions of the proposed wobblers are suitable for catching chub in points where the depth exceeds 1 meter. Also, such baits are relevant when fishing from a boat by rafting.

For catching a chub standing near the surface of the water, it is very good to have polarized glasses, which expand the possibilities of the angler. In “polariki” you can clearly see underwater obstacles, the game of bait, attacking and walking fish.

Donkey and feeder fishing – what to catch chub for in June?

In late spring and early summer, bottom fishing with natural baits and baits is very effective.

An important nuance! When using the May beetle as bait, the chitinous wings must be removed, this significantly increases the chances of a bite.

Donkeys are thrown in the supposed habitat of the chub – near the rifts, at bends, near steep banks under overhanging branches, in the bends of the coastline. Places for both the feeder and the bottom are selected with a slow flow. Fishing on the donkey takes place when the chub is standing and feeding at the bottom. In June, this is most often the time in the morning and at dawn, yet in the daytime the chub rises higher in search of fallen insects. The rod is selected resilient, with a test sufficient for casting the lead, matched to the depth and speed of the current. Spinning coil or inertial coil. Braid with a diameter of 0.1-015 or for monofilament 0.25-0.3 mm. A fluorocarbon leash or a thin monofilament 0.08-0.12 mm is required. Sliding lead, weight depending on the depth and speed of the current. Equipment options: Donka:
Feeder:
It is important to use quality hooks to avoid idle bites and offensive bites.

June diet

May beetles and their larvae, mayflies, and various worms enjoy particular preference for chub in June. In general, the chub is quite omnivorous, and its food supply changes along with the prevailing animals in the reservoir. It is necessary to observe and monitor the emergence of new insects, the emergence of new mammals. For June, the middle lane is characterized by seasonal baits:

• beetle and its larvae;
• mayflies;
• dung worms;
• maggot;
• pearl and other flies.

Not a single logger will miss the flight of the mayfly – at this time you can successfully fish on the donk with natural bait, as well as fly fishing for artificial imitation of an insect [/ caption] Also, universal attachments are used, which I work with varying degrees of success throughout the season:

• corn;
• bread;
• peas;
• chicken and goose liver;
• live bait tackles.

You should not focus on a specific bait or bait, it is more important to find a place for the fish to stay, and so as not to frighten her off, give her a tackle. Don’t get hung up on one place. Donka, of course, is not a spinning rod, but the search for fish throughout the available water area is an important factor in success. https://youtu.be/rcv0eMXfLlc

Fly fishing lovers

The chub is also a welcome prey for the fly fisherman. We will not talk about the casting technique and tackle – this is a separate topic for a big conversation, in this material about something else. Fly fishermen use dry flies when fishing for chub, which mimic the prevailing insects at one time or another of the year. Wet and dry flies are used, which can be gently and from afar fed to cautious fish by rafting downstream. Fly fishing in June – expanse, flight of the May beetle, mayflies. And flies should be used that mimic these insects. Successful fly colors – black, brown, red and their combinations:
Fly “May beetle” [/ caption] It all starts with promising places – overhanging branches of shrubs and trees, washed-out banks, quiet water edges and rapids, rifts and areas near them. Large foreheads can be found among the crowns of fallen trees, in snags, on return lines behind any obstacles. It is important to be as far away from cautious fish as possible, without frightening it with unnecessary movements. Castings are made across the stream, against it or for demolition – it all depends on the situation. To begin with, the near sectors are fished, then the more distant ones, so as not to scare away the nearest fish when playing more distant ones. You can play along with the front sight, or you can let it go downstream without pulling the straightened cord, having the opportunity for an instant sweep. The bite feels like a blow or a sharp slack in the line if the bite is against the fly’s movement,then the drummer can yawn. As luck would have it, flies tied on quality hooks are often self-hooking.

Float fishing

Float rod – with this we start our way of a fisherman even more children, often we end it with it in old age, when there is no strength and desire for spinning or, God forbid, fly fishing. In June, the water is still high and relatively turbid, which makes it possible to successfully catch a chub in the posting or at a fixed point with little or no current using a float rod. It stands at the bottom or in the floor of the water, in warm and daylight hours it rises to the surface, where it feeds on spiders, worms, and various grasses. By the end of June, more and more often I go to smaller places, slide down to the pits at sunset.

Tackle float chub

The tackle for the chub should be as thin and invisible as possible in all knots, from the fishing line to the connecting fittings. A light and long rod, equipped with a spinning reel, size 1000-1500 according to Shimano, so that you can float the bait as far as possible, into an area where a careful predator will not notice the angler. The leash is no thicker than 0.16-0.18 from a monofilament from a trusted manufacturer such as Ovner. Thin sharp hooks 5-8 number. The main line is 0.22-0.25. The float is inconspicuous and discreet.

What does it bite on?

Of the baits / baits, the same ones are used as for the donk, focusing on the usual diet for a particular season and a reservoir. In June, it includes May beetle, mayfly, spiders, worm, maggot, caterpillars, shell meat. And also universal all-season nozzles – corn, peas, manna. https://youtu.be/ddC2LQHFr2c

With any method of fishing, it should be borne in mind that the chub is a careful fish, which means that camouflage and careful behavior of the angler are required. This is especially true for fishing from the bank, when casting and from a boat, the redfin loses its caution, but partially.

What chub bite and catch in summer in July

In July, the chub feeds most actively on the rifts and places that are in the vicinity of them – potholes and pits before and after the roll, shelter on the stream (stones, grass, thickets of cobwebs, so beloved by the forehead), places in front of and behind the islets, which are often are formed in the area of ​​rifts.

In the hands of spinning

In general, catching a chub in July is not much different from that in July. But the details are there, and, as you know, the devil is hiding in the nickname … It is worth considering that the predator gradually goes out of the holes into the open and begins to hunt more and more often on the rifts and areas near them. Also, the forage base of the lobasty changes somewhat – the fry are larger, new insects and other animals appear. The water brightens, and therefore it is better to catch the chub on the matte colors of wobblers so beloved by them with bright splashes of red-yellow-white. Such lures are very clearly visible against the background of the sky:
In general, the lures for spinning are the same as in June, only the emphasis is more on wobblers. Running minnows are very good at catching on twitch, they can be the same as in early summer, but in a larger size from 5 to 8 cm. Yo-Zury L-minnow, Zip Baits Rigge, CrackJack and other Japanese. Turntables and rockers also work, but in our opinion and experience, most of them are worse than wobblers. But this is not a dogma, it can and should be questioned every time. The experimenter angler is always in a winning position!

China is not suitable for fast water, such baits do not hold the stream, they fall on their side and go out of the game!

In the hands of a donk or a feeder

At the height of summer, bottom fishing for chub is not in favor. Bream, silver bream, roach are often caught on the donka. But you can try to catch chub with the following baits and baits.

• bark beetle and its larvae;
• seashells;
• filamentous algae;
• snails;
• tadpoles and frogs;
• grasshoppers;
• amphipods.

Chub at the height of summer is very willing to eat “string” – filamentous algae, as this is the basis of his diet. But, in our opinion, if you really catch it with natural baits, then it is better to use the “string” on a float rod and catch a predator in the water floor (more on that below). Donochniks and feederists should search for chub at this time near rifts, on river bends, on channel edges in the immediate vicinity of the rapids.

In the hands of a float rod

In July, you can successfully continue to catch chub with a float rod. But you need to be even more careful, the water is clear, it becomes lower, and the fish is even more careful. The attachments are the same as for the donkey. Of particular interest are filamentous algae, which are not suitable for donkey, since it is bad to hold on to the hook and fall off when casting. A seed of filamentous algae is taken directly under the water, clenched in a fist and rises to the surface. The water is squeezed out and a thin string of thread is obtained. It curls, like hair, into one string. Then it is wrapped with gentle movements around the hook shank. Our hero loves such a dish in the middle of summer.
At this time, the bite of the red-finned and forehead mischievous man is very strong and impetuous – it hits impudently. You need to be prepared for any unfolding of events. This is especially true if fishing is carried out with animal baits – insects, caterpillars, grasshoppers.

Fly fishing in the hands

There is no particular difference with fishing in June – only other flies are needed and the parking places change (about the parking places above). Flies in the form of grasshoppers, dragonflies, spiders and other insects that often find themselves on the surface of the river are good for the July chub:

Fishing for chub in August: bait and bait, tackle and feed

In August, spinning chub is especially effective. The main food base for predatory fish at this time is small fish bleak, gudgeon, roach. The period of active emergence of insects is coming to an end, plus gradually predatory and semi-predatory fish begin to eat before the cooling of the water.

For the August chub with spinning

Closer to autumn, chub increasingly begins to hunt for fry, and not insects. This brings its own nuances to spinning fishing. The baits are used in larger sizes. Often in August, the chub goes to the rocky shoals, where they hunt for small chased fry of roach, perched water, gudgeon. On the shallows, surface wobblers are good. turntables and light shakes.

Fly fishermen

The basics of fly fishing for chub do not change in August. It is only necessary, as usual, to take into account the food supply, as well as the places where the fish stay. At this time, the redfin more and more often goes out to feed on the shoals, rocky ridges, continues to hunt near the rifts and on them, gapey grasshoppers, dragonflies and other insects fall from the fields – food. https://youtu.be/9FuQNRnfOHA

Floats

Closer to autumn, the basic rules of fishing for a chub on a float rod do not change. But getting insects and other living creatures is already more difficult. Therefore, all-season baits are used from baits and baits – maggots, worms, corn, peas, pearl barley. Fishing with a piece of a shell or a snail is also effective.

Donors and feeders

Autumn – it’s time to uncover the donkeys not only for the bream but also for the chubs. At this time, the red-finned daredevil can be successfully caught in pits with the current, on the bends of the river, near dams, bridges and other obstacles, where the lobate is hiding from a direct stream. https://youtu.be/OTtye-eeVOg

Other fishing methods – why not ?!

Also, chub in the summer can be caught with a jig, sbirulino (bombarda), tug. These are not the most popular methods, but sometimes you can practice them for a change, more in detail in the video: Sbirulino: https://youtu.be/Ys5CphxMeGY https://youtu.be/pTfH2SYTkBs Chub on a jig: https://youtu.be / aLrhwJ3aM3I Years go by, the fish grows smarter and there is no longer enough of everything that came into view, as before, 20 years ago. But its livestock is decreasing from year to year – poachers and poachers are “legalists”, ecology and drying of reservoirs, plus the experience and arsenal of modern fishermen, are incomparable with our grandfathers … Let the fish go, and especially the chub – it is much more interesting to catch than it is …
