Fish with the fake

This fishing consists has to capture the majority of the Salmonidé S of the rivers high and medium mountains by using natural soft foods collected as a preliminary on the place of fishing. The soft foods used vary according to the season, of the altitude and the state of water. The material, as for him, is very specific but can be selected mainly compared to the size of the river which one wishes to prospect.

Rivers

The ideal River for fishing with the fake varies according to the tastes of the fisherman. However, it is generally considered that a Rivière adapted can go from the small brook of mountain of a few tens of centimetres broad and of depth, to the average river of plain of about fifteen meters broad for a depth not exceeding three or four meters. Out of these limits, salmonidés are likely to be done much rarer and it will not be any more question of using this technique.

Fish

The fisherman with the fake seeks (in general) salmonidés such as the trouts fario and more rarely the shade, appreciated for the nobility of their flesh. However, one can also want to prick some white fish (Chevesne, Gardon,…) who delight more by their combative aspect by their culinary qualities. The size of the catches depends much on the soft food used and, so of the size of the Hameçon employed. One can also consider that the fish concerned seldom exceed the meter, for four or five kilos maximum. Thus, one will regard as being a beautiful fish a wild trout fario of more than forty centimetres (for example).

Soft foods

The soft foods are collected most of the time on the place of fishing, in order to as well as possible approach the usual food of the fish autochtones. One employs in general ground worms, Teigne S as well as a multitude of larvae collected under the stones: patraque, caddis-bait… In short, all that constitutes a potential food can constitute good a esche: Leech, Grasshopper S, Fly S servants, Snail S… Note: recently appeared in the trade, of the leaded larvae artificial (larvor) seem to give good performances. The natural fly is also very effective, but it is preferable to even raise it oneself because the capture is tiresome. For that, one lays out outside, of the meat scrap on which flies will come to lay. It will be enough to let enlarge the maggots then to put them in a box and to wait until they are transformed into flies.

The material

The hook

The hook is the key of success in many cases. Not question thus of employing old rusted parts, blunted, twisted… The prickly one must be irreproachable and a small tongue can render invaluable services. If one wishes to give fish to water, it is preferable to use a hook without tongue. The German and Japanese marks are famous in this field.

The cane

The Fishing cane must be selected mainly according to the size of the river and the obstruction of its banks. Thus, for the prospection of a river ten meters broad to the well released accesses, one will move preferably towards a four meters length model with external rings. On the other hand, it will be necessary to rather choose a shorter model (three meters fifty) and with interior wire to fish a torrent of mountain to the inextricable banks. The telescopic canes can constitute a good compromise and have an undeniable advantage on the level of the obstruction.

The winch

The winch, tiny room to its more simple expression, is used only as reserve of wire. Its choice thus imports little. Sometimes despite everything, the specific models make it possible to avoid some unpleasant " perruques" around the crank or reel.

Wire and leads

The wire must be preferably not fluorescend but rather colorless for the body of line, like for the bottom of line (question of discretion!). Leads will have to be serious, therefore of weights different and placed carefully on the line (see low).

Others

The clothing of the fisherman in general constitutes pants of wading (waders) breathing or in Néoprène, of a waistcoat and can be supplemented by a polarizing pair of glasses .

The line

On the basis of the hook, to leave approximately the width of a hand and fix the first lead of small size. Reduce then the differences between leads while you increase the weight of the latter. In this manner, the line will arch in the current and the fish will see in first your esche and not your leads. One leaded traditional comprises from four to six leads, but their number and their weight can vary according to the height of water and the density of the soft food. It is indeed interesting that this one as quickly as possible goes down in order to return most quickly your line fishing. The low connection of line-body of line is ensured by a mini swivel and one can place on this last an indicator of key (rigoletto), small ball of cork coloured whose role is not to support the line with the manner of a float, but to help the fisherman to follow displacements of his line.
