Catching roach in August with a float rod - what does it bite on, choice of baits

What to feed

Catching roach in summer is impossible without bait.
A flock of nimble fish will instantly go to another place if there is a lack of food, so the mixture must be constantly supplied to the fishing point. With feeder fishing, this happens every time you cast the feeder, and with float fishing, you should throw bait balls regularly, with a break of five to ten minutes, depending on the biting activity. Bait for roach in June can be easily purchased at any fishing store, and it may be written on the package that it is for bream or crucian carp - it doesn’t matter. All cyprinids have approximately the same taste and are tempted by the same mixtures

Homemade bait for catching roaches in June and other summer months may include the simplest ingredients available to everyone:

millet;
barley grits;
cereals;
semolina;
pea flour;
powdered milk;
corn grits;
poultry or fish feed;
ground roasted sunflower seeds;
ground crackers.

For example, catching roach in July-August will be successful if you use the famous “Salapin” porridge. This interesting recipe also works well:

Cook millet porridge from one glass of cereal and three glasses of water.
Add two glasses of barley and a glass of semolina to it.
At the reservoir, we break the mixture with ground breadcrumbs to the desired consistency, depending on the fishing method: for the feeder - more breadcrumbs, for feeding with smaller balls.
Before throwing the ball or feeder into the water, roll them in pea flour.

When using such bait on the river, it is worth adding rolled oats flakes for stickiness.

In order for larger roaches to peck in August, large fractions are added to the bait, such as:

barley;
corn or pea grains;
pellets and small boilies.

When catching roach in June with animal baits, also do not forget to add them to the bait mixture!

How to catch roach in August

When fishing for roach in August, anglers use a variety of gear. But it is worth remembering that at this time the fish bites in a particularly hesitant, but also graceful way. Without the appropriate skills and equipment, your fishing trip may be wasted.

The traditional August tackle is a float rod. If fishing occurs from the shore, then it is best to choose 4-6 meter models that will allow you to make accurate casts over long distances. The diameter of the fishing line for such gear should not exceed 0.

15 mm. As for the sinker, it is selected taking into account the depth and strength of the current. Models number 3 and 4 can be used as a hook.

In August, the angler has a great opportunity to experiment with fishing in the windows between the vegetation. But such fishing requires the use of very long rods. To improve fishing efficiency, you can use special baits that sink slowly. According to experienced fishermen, this method has excellent results.

Features of fishing for roach in August

Roaches are highly active in August, and they constantly move around the reservoir in small flocks

Therefore, it is important to choose a promising place for fishing, prepare bait and select appropriate bait (plant baits)

The basis of roach nutrition in August is plant food. This fact should be taken into account when choosing a fishing spot. Areas with lush above-water vegetation and islands of reeds are excellent for catching roach. In open areas between reed thickets there is often a current boundary or a slight countercurrent. After finding such an area, you can start feeding it.

Steamed crushed cereals are used as complementary foods, to which flavorings are added. Sunflower, anise and hemp oil are suitable. The prepared “dry” bait is mixed with soil, the volume of which can reach 50%. You need to add crushed bait to the mixture, which you plan to use to catch roach.

You can use ready-made mixtures of industrial production, but experience shows that home-prepared bait for fish “works better”, taking into account the characteristics of fishing in a particular reservoir. Sometimes it is enough to use several briquettes of slowly sprayed cake. On small rivers and lakes during periods of high roach activity, you can do without complementary foods.

Looking for roach in August

In August, roach's feeding preferences may include a wide variety of foods. Fish responds well to almost all baits, both plant and animal. Although roach is a common inhabitant of our reservoirs, it tries to stick to its favorite places. In August they are grassy backwaters and bays near the pits.

On hot August days, the fish rush to the depths, but in cool weather, they can often be found near the shore.

In any case, in August roach is found at any depth, but trophy individuals of this species prefer to lead a solitary lifestyle at great depths. But the fisherman should know that if not a single bite is observed within 30 minutes of active feeding, then it is better to change the place. In August, roaches are especially active on cloudy days, from morning until evening. The fish does not like sudden weather changes that affect its activity.

[custom_ads_shortcode3]

What should you fish for?

In order to replenish its reserve of strength and gain energy, like any other organism, roaches need high-calorie food

In March, when the water is still very cloudy, there are plenty of bites, it is important to choose a parking spot and bait. You should fish in shallow places where spring rays warm the water better

Often the bite is better where there is no strong current and shallow depth.

Of the baits, animal baits are preferable:

Red worm - available in stores all year round
Maggot - this is what is best to catch throughout the spring
Caddis fly is great for March
Bloodworms or a bunch of bloodworms are a good option for large roaches
Dragonfly larva is only available in April

Plant species are also acceptable:

Steamed pearl barley is a classic, used from spring to autumn Steamed wheat is not so good, but in some reservoirs you can’t go without it White bread Dough with larger balls to cut off small bites Semolina from a syringe can be just as irreplaceable Foam balls rising above the bottom are not bad at attracting attention not only roach, but also other leucorrhoea.

Since it is difficult to visually find bait (due to turbid water), you can resort to using flavorings (dips) - read about them below. They are necessary to make it easier for fish to find bait by smell. If there is no bite, you need to alternate baits or use a sandwich: put several different baits on the hook at once.

What bait to use

There are unspoken rules for baiting that significantly increase catches:

From early March to mid-April, large amounts of live food should not be used as bait. Otherwise, this leads to the rapid saturation of the fish and it will leave the fishing point. Due to the still low temperature, metabolism is slowed down, so do not overfeed the roach.
In the month of May, before spawning, you can do without bait at all, since the fish rushes to anything that looks like food. But you should still understand that if there are a large number of fishermen around, it is necessary to attract fish to your point.

You can make the mixture yourself using one of the following recipes:

Mix store-bought bait with breadcrumbs and ground seeds.
Use only ready-made roach mixture.
Various porridges, for example from millet with the addition of chopped worms.
If fishing is done with a float rod, then you can make several casts with a feed bloodworm, maggot or worm.

Universal bait can be made at home using the following recipe:

1/2 kg breadcrumbs
1/2 kg bran
4-5 tablespoons milk powder
Oatmeal - added to give desired consistency

Breadcrumbs and milk powder act as a “cloud of dust” that will rise when casting, arousing the interest of the roach. This effect is especially attractive when the main turbidity of the reservoir has already settled. Having rolled small balls, a starting cast of 3-4 pieces is made.

The best flavors

These dips are used not only in spring, but also in summer until November.

It is important to use them carefully: 1 spray on the bait before casting will be enough

Smells that perfectly attract roaches:

Anise
Banana
Vanilla
Strawberry
Chocolate
Garlic

Float rod - equipment for crucian carp in August

Catching crucian carp with a float rod is the best way. Usually you have to fish where there is a lot of grass, often in windows artificially cleared for fishing. A long length of gear is not required. In August, it can be caught at a distance of 3 meters from the shore, and only after the onset of cold weather does this fish begin to move to wintering pits away from the shore.

What fishing rod to use when fishing for crucian carp in August

Float fishing for crucian carp is presented in the following ways:

fly rod;
Bolognese;
match;
plug;

Of these methods, it is unlikely that you will have to fish with a lapdog - since crucian carp avoids places with more or less strong currents.

The match fishing rod has a number of disadvantages. It handles worse, and when small crucian carp bite frequently, it is not so convenient. The bites are less visible; some of you will have to use an extractor to get out small hooks. It is great for fishing in cool water when the fish are already far from the shore. But the gear that is familiar to many may be better than others.

The most reliable and proven method is a fly rod. The rod length is taken from 4 to 6 meters. A long fishing rod is more difficult to handle. A short rod is used on small ponds, narrow stream beds and oxbow lakes, where there is a short gap from the old riverbed to the shallows overgrown with plants. On open ponds, a six-meter fly rod will be the most versatile.

Float and its load for catching crucian carp in August

Fishing often occurs in stagnant or almost stagnant water, near aquatic plants. The best float is a cigar-shaped float with a sinking keel, weighing 2 grams, made of balsa. It is not worth putting a lighter float - since fishing near aquatic vegetation, in strong winds, there is a chance that the tackle will get caught on it with an uncontrollable light float.

Read also: How to equip a float rod for catching crucian carp

There is also no need to install a float that is too heavy. The only case when balsa floats weighing 4 grams are used is when a heavy weight is placed to break through the layer of duckweed on the surface of the water - crucian carp really likes to stand under it. In this case, the load is applied concentrated at one point - this penetrates aquatic vegetation best.

Reel, line and leader

If fishing is done with a fly rod, a reel is not required. If they fish with a Bolognese, which is used as a fly reel in the absence of a separate one, then they leave the old reel. For match fishing, you will need a reel with a large gear ratio and good winding, so that you can quickly reel in the line and re-cast, and so that there are no problems with discarding thin fishing line - unraveling it is still a pleasure.

Read also: Styrofoam for crucian carp? YES!

The fishing line for the fly rod is 0.12-0.2. There is no point in putting it thinner - if it gets caught on aquatic vegetation, it will be impossible to free it with a jerk. And catching crucian carp weighing more than 500 grams in August is quite possible. But you shouldn’t set it too thick either - this will lead to roughening of the tackle, the influence of wind on casting, the need to install a heavier float and sinker, etc.

The leash is used from 0.1. up to 0.18. It is advisable to take a soft fishing line - crucian carp feel well with their mouth a hard and thick fishing line on a leash, the thinner and softer it is, the better. Again, the jerks of the crucian carp are quite strong, and it’s also not worth it to grind with leashes.

Improving the roach bite in August

To improve the roach bite in August, you don’t need to be a fishing genius. It is enough to use a unique fishing device - a bite activator, which can interest even the laziest fish. The fact is that the bite activator sprays special pheromones into the water that can attract the attention of all representatives of the aquatic world, including roaches. A great addition to your fishing arsenal.

Summer roach fishing begins in early spring and continues almost until the onset of cold weather. This fish is widespread and lives in almost any body of water. It can be found in running and standing water.

The size of a roach depends not only on the age of the individual, but also on living conditions and the presence of predatory fish in the neighborhood. In August, the behavior of roach has characteristic features that the fisherman must take into account for successful fishing.

Roach fishing in September and October

As a rule, in early September, in most Russian water bodies, the water is still warm and fish, including roach, behave according to summer habits - they stay close to the coastline, and are caught on almost all types of bait and bait. This fish is caught in September and October with the same gear as in the summer - the most used and proven tool for catching roach is a float rod. The tackle is equipped with a main line with a diameter of up to 0.14 mm, a leash with a diameter of up to 0.1 mm. It is best to tie hooks No. 3 or 4 according to the domestic classification or No. 12-15 according to the international numbering. It is preferable to use a float with a displacement of 1.5 - 2 grams. Read also:

It is important to catch the moment when the September weather becomes truly autumnal and adapt in time to the changed behavior of the sorog, otherwise there will be no catch in your cage. It doesn’t change from year to year, and it happens that almost all of September is warm, but in most cases, starting from the middle of the month, a distinct cooling of the air and, accordingly, the water begins

The roach reacts to changes in water temperature - for it, as for other types of fish, a cold snap is a signal that it is necessary to prepare for winter, and it prepares - it feeds heavily, that is, it accumulates fat in reserve. At this time, you can use the same baits for hooking as in summer, but roaches, especially large ones, give preference to live bait - a worm, maggot, bloodworm, and so on. Live baits are higher in calories than plant baits. Read also:

The worm deserves special attention. It is a universal bait for catching all peaceful species of fish. The roach also “adores” it. He especially loves earthworms; if you put a large specimen on the hook, the chance of catching a trophy-sized roach increases dramatically. In the absence of large worms, they are placed on the hook in a bunch. By the way, if there is a rich food supply in the reservoir, the roach can gain a fair amount of weight. There are known cases of catching two-kilogram specimens. Such a weight, of course, is very rare these days, but catching a cage of two hundred to three hundred gram roach in the fall is quite possible.

From shallow waters, the roach, as roach is also called in some areas, begins to move to deeper places at the end of September and beginning of October, where it gathers in flocks. Thus, the fish looks in advance for places where it will spend the winter. On some fine October days, the fish return closer to shallow water. At the end of October, the sorog finally moves to its winter camps, and it is almost impossible to detect it in shallow water, at least this is the case in medium and large reservoirs. In small and shallow bodies of water in October, you can only find a track in the middle. Read also: Normal pressure for fishing

While the water in September retains the remnants of summer warmth, the roach will have the best bite in the morning and evening dawns. The exception is cloudy and stormy days - the heroine of our story can bite throughout the day. After the water in the reservoir has cooled significantly, it is best to start looking for roach after 10-11 o’clock in the morning. Apparently, the fish reacts to the fact that by this time the air and water are becoming a little warmer and the roach feels quite comfortable near the shore. The bite can last from half an hour to several hours.

Bait for catching roach in August

It is known that roaches prefer a gregarious lifestyle. When the fish notices an abundant amount of food, it immediately rushes to it. That is why using bait for August fishing will be the most useful and effective procedure on which your entire catch may depend.

Bait can be used, either homemade or store-bought, the main thing is that it slowly dissolves in the water and does not allow the fish to eat enough.

Despite the fact that August is the final month of summer, it does not exclude the possibility of real summer fishing with an excellent catch.

Bait for roach in spring

This section is not devoted to recipes; it is much more important to understand the mechanics and its relativity to the behavior of roaches during a certain period of spring.

Click here for the recipe.

Early spring, cold water

At such times, heavy feeding is not advisable. The roach gets full quickly. To avoid overfeeding, mixing bait with soil (soil, clay) will help.

It is advisable to select the color of the bait to match the shade of the underwater soil. Black - for a muddy bottom, light - for a sandy bottom.

It is better to exclude the presence of a large faction. This can be done by purchasing special winter bait for roach, or by sifting through a fine sieve.

It wouldn’t hurt to add a little bait, the same one we use to catch

But be careful, the task is to put the fish on point, and not to feed it from the belly

During the current, the bait should be “heavy”. This can be done by diluting with earth or clay. As an exception, it is permissible to use finely divided cereals, such as millet. It’s not necessary to choose a muddy or light one here - the flow will blow you away anyway.

When standing still, we exclude the entire large fraction. We also add a little bait to the bait itself. In addition, the mixture should become dusty and cloudy.

Bait in warm spring water

Warm spring water is much more loyal to the fisherman and forgives mistakes. The roach feeds actively and takes the bait more confidently.

Everything described in the section above is relevant, but not with some assumptions, namely:

It is not necessary to match the color of the bait to the bottom soil.
Mixing with the soil can be left only for the flow. But it is better to use heavy mixtures or porridges.
You can add bait to your bait without fear.
Adding a large fraction is acceptable, or even desirable, when there are trophy roach in the reservoir. For example - corn, pearl barley, small pellets.
When fishing with a float rod, the bait in still water must be active and turbid. Since the fish can stand in the water column without picking up food from the bottom.
On the riverbed, muddy and dusty bait can only be used in small backwaters and on the backwaters (turn of the current near the shore).

We hope that these tips will help you figure out how to catch roach in the spring.

August

If at the beginning of August roaches are caught using all types of baits, then from the middle of the month they give preference to baits of animal origin. More maggots, bloodworms, and chopped worms should be added to the bait.

In early August, on small rivers and ponds, roaches can be caught using a fishing rod with a side nod. The tackle must meet the following requirements: Light Bolognese or fly rod, 5 to 8 meters long with 20–30 grams of dough. The action of the rod must be fast - with “noodle” forms a good action of the jig cannot be achieved.

If the installation is not blind, then the simplest wiring reel of small diameter will do. The size of the roach is usually small and such a reel is enough for fishing.

Lead or tungsten jig. Usually these are nymphs, uralks, pellets, devils, goats.

“Roach loves light-colored jigs with a bright (yellow, red) bead on the hook. But sometimes dark colored jigs give good results.”

The nod is made of lavsan or a metal spring. You can find a large selection of side nods on sale. The length of the nod is about 20 cm. For fishing with light jigs, the nods should be soft, for heavy jigs - more rigid.

With a bright indicator, it is much easier to notice a fish bite.

The attachment is a bloodworm or maggot. And you can also fish without a bait, but in this case more serious demands are placed on the fisherman’s skills - there should be no failures in the action of the jig, otherwise the fish will not be attracted to the bait.

The best places for fishing with a side nod are windows in water lilies, the border of aquatic vegetation and clean water, snags, and flooded trees.

Fishing with a summer jig is popular fishing. In such cases, bait is not required; the fisherman, in search of roach, has to constantly change the place of fishing.

Wiring a summer jig is not much different from playing with a winter fishing rod:

Having lowered the jig to the bottom, we raise it 10–20 cm, while at the same time oscillating with a nod. After a pause, we again raise it by 20 cm and so on.
Having found a catchable horizon, we fish it.
If there are no bites, then we move to another place.

In the third ten days of August, the coastal vegetation gradually dies off, and the roach moves to cleaner, deeper areas of the reservoir. It rests on the edges and pits. In this situation, it is more effective to use a feeder rather than a Bolognese fishing rod.

A special feature of the feeder rig for roach is the presence of a long leash (1–2 meters).

Hooks can be placed larger, up to number 10 according to the international classification. The bait should be voluminous, since bream and ide bite along with roach.

Fishing rod rig

In the case when you decide to use a fishing rod without rings, it is necessary that the length of the fishing line be equal to the length of the fishing rod. A maximum superiority of no more than half a meter is allowed. Only this amount of monofilament will make it possible to cast easily and pull out the catch comfortably.

Video showing the process of organizing the equipment of a float rod:

Choosing a float

The float is used to signal a bite, so its choice must be taken with full responsibility. First, you need to decide on the depth of the fishing spot. So:* a depth of up to one meter requires a float with a carrying capacity of up to 1 g;

depth 1-3 m - from 1 to 2.5 g;
depth more than three meters - float 3-5 g.

If the body of water has a strong current, then it is necessary to use special floats for fishing in the current.

There is also a very interesting type of float equipment - a sliding float. To fish with it, you usually use a rod with an inertia-free reel for long casts or, in extreme cases, a regular inertial reel with a drum.

Line and leash

The leash for the float type of equipment is itself a controversial point. Indeed, in this case, the gear is at the same time distinguished by its subtlety and invisibility, and clutter with bridles and loops. The leash is made on the basis of a thinner fishing line than the main monofilament for the reel. Its length will directly affect the quality of the bite:

A short leader is the most sensitive and will allow you to see every touch the fish makes to the bait. Although in this case there is no need to rush, because you can catch the catch earlier than it would have to be done;
a long leash may not allow you to feel the bite at all, and therefore the fish will be able to swallow your bait and go free swimming.

For this type of gear, it is recommended to use exclusively monofilament fishing line. It is desirable that it be thin - 0.08-0.1-0.12-0.14 mm. But this is not the most important thing, since a number of other factors need to be taken into account:

fishing conditions;
parameters of the fishing line itself and its properties;
elements that make up the rod itself.

Correct loading

In order to produce the correct sensitive load, it is recommended that you secure a medium lead pellet under the float, carefully clamping it all with pliers. Throw the rig into the water. In the case when the body of the float is slightly visible, it is recommended to add more weight. In this case, be sure to make sure that the minimum depth is set. After all, in this case the weights should be suspended, and not lie at the bottom of the reservoir.

It is necessary to add lead darts until only the tip of the float peeks out from the surface of the reservoir. Only in this case will you achieve good sensitivity. But if fishing is in strong winds, you can allow some part of the float’s body to be visible. This way, you can eliminate the visual illusion as the float passes through the waves.

Read more about choosing and loading a float in the article about floats for crucian carp.

Experts recommend choosing hooks depending on the desired catch and the size of the bait. You need to take a moment to imagine what kind of mouth your fish has, and whether it can calmly swallow such a hook. On the other hand, an excessively small hook will also become a hindrance. Because in this case there will be a lot of idle bites. After all, the fish will not be hooked and will get off the hook. Therefore, you can say goodbye to your trophy.

It is necessary to select equipment with special responsibility. At the same time, you should try to increase the sensitivity of the gear. It is best to take a rod that is light and comfortable so that you don’t feel any discomfort during the casting process. After all, when fishing you only need to have fun, and not suffer with gear.

Have a nice bite and good fishing!

A group of fishermen revealed the name of the secret bait during interrogation.

There is nothing easier than equipping a regular float fishing rod. Despite the fact that there is enough information about this, it still makes sense to dwell on this again and, step by step, tell you how to equip a float fishing rod.

Roach fishing gear in August

Bites from roach, especially small fish, can be so indecisive and graceful that the angler will have to properly prepare before going fishing. As a rule, roach fishing in August is done with a float rod. Fishing from the shore involves using a long rod, about 4-6 meters. Thanks to this length, you can easily fish behind areas of aquatic vegetation or behind flooded bushes. It is better to take a fishing line 0.15 mm in diameter and a thinner leash, a small hook (No. 3-4). The float and sinker are selected depending on the strength and depth of the current.

When fishing for roach in August, you can experiment by throwing gear into windows of aquatic vegetation. For this, the fisherman will need a long, lightweight rod with a fishing line up to 0.15 mm. In this case, the length of the fishing line should be equal to or less than the length of the rod. This condition is necessary for more accurate casting. In case of a weak bite, fishing can be saved by using a slowly sinking bait, since this behavior always provokes fish.

Features of catching crucian carp in August using a float rod

Peculiarities of behavior and fishing for crucian carp in August:

The fish are biting like crazy! You can even put bait on it. The poacher spilled the beans.

35 kg of fish per pheromone bait. Fishing report!

Crucian carp spawn for a long time, from May until the end of the first month of summer. In August, after a painful transition, the bite noticeably improves;
When fishing, you will have to deal with reservoirs with blooming water, a lot of grass, and a littered bottom;
Fishing for crucian carp usually occurs where carp, carp, and bream are found;
Crucian carp takes from the bottom;
In August they are caught using both plant and animal baits. But crucian carp gives preference to plant baits;
Individuals over a kilogram are taken more confidently on large baits;
Crucian carp is picky and its taste changes throughout the day. You need to have at least three attachments in stock with different smells and tastes;
The bite throughout the day is very uneven. In most cases, the best bite is guaranteed at sunset and in the pre-dawn hours. A decent bite at night is not uncommon.

Search for fish

The food supply in the natural habitat of roaches is different - it can be a mosquito larva, small crustaceans, caddis flies or filamentous algae. Thanks to this omnivorous nature, roaches are caught using both animal and plant baits, and August is no exception. Although roach is very common, it also has favorite places where it prefers to stay. August is the time when roaches can be found in grassy backwaters and bays, in quiet reaches near pits.

On days when the heat continues to heat the water, the roach rushes to the depths, and on cooler days it hunts close to the shore.

Well, if we generalize everything, then we can say that roach can be found at different depths, but large fish stay deeper, and smaller ones are closer to the surface. The only advice to the fisherman: if there are no bites in a new reservoir after feeding for an hour and a half, then most likely there are simply no roaches here. Roach fishing in August is most stable in cloudy weather, in the morning and evening. Roaches do not respect sudden changes in weather and pressure surges.

Tackle and equipment

The float fishing rod has 4 varieties: 1. Flying fishing rod - tackle for roach, which is a blind rig. The line is attached to the end of the rod itself. Thus, the equipment is capable of casting two rod lengths.2. The Bolognese fishing rod is a tackle with a reel and rings. This design provides a longer flight range.3. A match fishing rod is a fishing rod to which a spinning reel is attached. This design provides a good flight range and allows you to fish with a sliding float; such tackle for roach is very effective.4. The plug fishing rod is represented by a long rod (from 9 meters). This type of gear has several elbows, so fishing is done using a stand. Thanks to this design, the bait gets directly to the desired point in the reservoir. For an amateur, a fly rod and a Bolognese fishing rod are quite acceptable. These types of float fishing rods are convenient for transportation and easy to use in the coastal zone of a reservoir.

Fishing with a fly rod

The design of the tackle is a fishing rod, to the end of which a fishing line equal to the length of the fishing rod is attached. The float is fixed to the fishing line using one or more cambrics. They are followed by lead weights in the form of pellets. Next, a leash made of thinner fishing line is attached, then a hook.

Fishing with a Bolognese rod

In this float rod model, the rod has rings that suggest the presence of a reel. Both a spinning reel and a small drum in which the fishing line will be stored are suitable. However, such a reel does not always have a good effect on roach biting productivity. In a Bolognese fishing rod, the reel serves solely to store fishing line. It is not capable of long-distance casting of heavy baits, so it is not necessary to equip the rod with a spinning reel. If you plan to catch a large specimen of roach, then you simply need a friction brake, which will facilitate easy landing of the fish. For catching small roach, a small reel will be sufficient, because... Inertialess will simply make the tackle heavy. Compared to a fly rod, the Bologna allows you to make longer casts. The casting technique is as follows. It is necessary to unwind the required length of fishing line from the reel and tighten it, holding it with your left hand. When casting, the line is released and flies through the rings. The casting distance increases to 4 meters.

Lure

The bait for roaches should contain so-called “pollen”. Purchased bait should be light and fine-grained, because... its task is to create a cloudy cloud in a pond. If you make your own bait for roaches, then its ingredients must be barley, semolina, millet and pea flour. To catch large roach, add pearl barley, sweet corn, maggots, green peas and chopped worms. Preparing bait for roach at home Roach lives at the depths of the reservoir, so add clay to the bait and roll it into a ball. Such balls are thrown pointwise. For starters, half a kilogram of bait is enough. It is added every 10 minutes, throwing one ball at a time.
