Читать книгу Fishing For Dummies - Greg Schwipps - Страница 60

Suppose you find a fishing hole no one has seen before. Let’s say there’s no local bait shop; no online forum mentions it. No YouTube celebrity has ever fished it. Can you still figure out this lake, and what lives within it? Of course you can. It comes back to paying attention: Walk the banks and watch the water. What’s the water clarity like? Cloudy or stained water means fish probably aren’t feeding visually — a loud, noisy lure like a spinnerbait might work. Or a smelly livebait, like a nightcrawler or a piece of cutbait. Are weeds prevalent? Moss? Baitfish will hide under moss and in weed beds, which mean predator fish will patrol nearby. Do you see schools of baitfish? Can you identify the species? If there are babies, there will be adults to catch, of course. Be on the lookout for dead fish or skeletons because these, too, will tell you what species live here. Without wetting a line, you can learn a lot about a body of water and the fish that live there.
