Fishing for grayling. Autumn ice and winter

The Arkhangelsk region is a stunning region, replete with a variety of natural areas. This is the coast of the Barents and the White Sea. These are taiga forests. And the tundra zone. There are many taiga rivers, streams and streams on which there are rapids, shivers and waterfalls. And there are forest rivers, similar to the best salmon rivers of Canada. Some rivers of the Arkhangelsk region were considered the best and ideal for salmon fish. Fishing in these places is very diverse, you can catch salmon 3-9 kg, pink salmon 2-3 kg, large whitefish, large grayling, kilogram perch, pike 2-9 kg, burbot up to 5 kg, roach, ide up to 1 kg and other types of fish . And all this in about 3 to 4 hours of flight by plane from Moscow (from Moscow to Arkhangelsk for about 1.5-2 hours, and from Arkhangelsk to the place where fishing started 1.5 hours) Catching grayling from under the ice is always an adventure. And so that the capture of this fish is not an accident, it is worth sticking to certain tactics. The tactical meaning of the search is to find those very quiet places near the stream on which this predator likes to stand. Grayling never changes this habit - neither in winter nor in summer. However, the river is under ice, and it’s difficult to immediately determine the border of calm water and stream. Therefore, we drill a row across. It is necessary to evaluate the strength of the flow, find the main stream. When this is done, we check everything in quiet water near this jet. If the flow between some holes across the river is significantly different, then we drill along this level, closer to calm water. We drill the whole stream, look for points with calm water - there will be grayling. At the beginning and end of the whirlpool, we are looking for places where the current weakens or begins to intensify. We check all local pits, turns, backwaters, indentations in the channel, as well as the angles of flat pits throughout the river under the shore. We also check the shallow water adjacent to the anomalies, with a pebble or stone bottom. We catch on a winter fishing rod or with a nod,
