When fishing for tench, it is recommended to use small shells as bait, but rudd is best caught on a float tackle, using various small insects to bait. Practice shows that roach is well caught in August, which can be successfully hunted not only in the morning dawn or during the evening sunset, but also at lunchtime if the weather is cloudy. At the same time, experienced fishermen recommend using the so-called fly fishing rod, and bread, a green leaf or a small grasshopper are perfect as bait. And remember that the largest roach is found in calm waters right at the edge of algae growth. Slightly worse than roach, ide is caught in August, which also prefers to swim at the very edge of the algae. This fish is very fond of quiet backwaters and small bays, and also prefers the almost complete absence of current. It is recommended to fish the ide with a spinning rod, using a small spoon or fry as a bait.
