Bleak as the object of Amateur fishery
As a rule, the fishermen believe that this small fish is not worthy of the title “the object of anglers”. Many did not hesitate to leave the place, which makes itself felt bleak. At the same time fishing for bleak is a very interesting hobby that requires the angler not only knowledge of the habits of the fish, but also a certain dexterity and skill.

To start better with the Yam and turns. The quieter the flow, the more likely in places bleak. In the fall we can focus on predators, as their behavior at this time of year often indicate that the Parking lot is bleak. Another advantage of bleak – if it is in some place, it will be here the whole year.
One of the keys to an enviable catch – well chosen place. For productive fishing you will need bait, which is preferred bleak.
The basic requirements for catchability tackle:
1. Ease.
2. The small diameter.
3. Sensitivity.
4. Thin tip.
5. Length summer of the fishing rod is 2-3. 5 m, and the fall is 4-5 M.
6. The rod without crossing the rings and coils, as in the intense bite they will quickly tire the hand.
7. Small, slender, 1-3-gram float.
8. Fishing line diameter of 0.1 mm. High and 0.12 mm.
9. Small and thin hook with a long forearm.
The priority of bait – maggots, bloodworm or so-called sandwich. Some experienced fishermen use dough. And fishing, they just take the flour and semolina. To the flour add a little river water, a little monkey. All of this is made until a viscous homogeneous mass, then the dough is filled with 20-millimeter syringe. Viscous sticky hands on the dough is extruded from the syringe and screwed on the hook. Instead of a syringe, you can use any thread, which is wound dough, and then on the hook. This bait, if you use proper gear, slowly lowered to the specified depth.
It is desirable that the bait was sinking as slowly as possible. In this respect, the dough is best suited for this role. Prevajanje – a rare necessity. If you do decide to use bait, it is better to use river sand. Bleak – a very curious fish, and a cloud of dregs couldn’t be better to attract it to the bait.
