Fishing on small rivers with a floating boat-a very interesting and creative activity. Catching from the shore and moving from point to point on foot, you will never be able to cover as many intersnyh places, how much you catch when fishing from a boat. And with the supply of lures coastal fishing does not always provide the best opportunities. From the shore you are available wiring up-stream, across the current "for demolition" and casts downstream. Often only what the one from options. For example, it is not always possible to accurately throw the bait under the opposite shore ( wide river, light bait, side wind, etc.) and in fact it is the bait from the shore in depth gives the most bites of predatory fish. The presence of even an inflatable boat solves these problems. And if you have a boat that allows you to catch standing in full growth-you're just king of the situation)).
When fishing from a boat rafting downstream possible trophies are very diverse. Potentially possible capture of all species of predatory fish living in the rivers of Central Russia.. But the most frequent trophies will be Chub, perch and pike.
The main lure in this method of fishing - lures-cranky, minnow and spinner baits. These baits meet the basic requirements - the ability to accurately cast, can be posted in any direction relative to the direction of flow and the opportunity proudly with any required speed. And most importantly-they are very fond of fish living in small rivers with moderate and strong currents...
In the summer, especially in demand from your set of lures will be lures-roll with a depth of SR and MR ( weak and medium depth). Closer to the fall and early spring would be better to work more strongly zaluusaa bait - MR and DR ( deep runner). Spinners are relevant in all seasons...
Set of gear-rod up to 12-15 grams by weight of the bait length 6.2-7 + feet, coil 1000-2500 on the line Shimano, cord #0.6-0.8 on the Japanese classification, fluorocarbon leash length 20-40 centimeters and breaking load corresponding to the applied cord. The uncoupling for saving lures from snags with this fishing boat will not be superfluous.
I suggest you watch the video story of Alexander Tupitsyn about fishing on a small river from a boat, floated downstream. In it you will see a variety of trophies that can give a river paltry spinning , see gear and bait used by Alexander and his partner. And, of course, you can enjoy with fishermen the beauty of small rivers...
