It was time to sign off on a spring fishing trip for 40 Springs Reservoir at the mouth area and see what the situation was. I chose Friday as the only time I have been reading for a day and after a short thought I settled under “The view“. The dam is full to the brim, the water muddy and a little colder than I'd like, but whatever. The terrain is familiar to me and I started looking for how many meters the ravine is because I know that there are always fish there on its slope, generally their way goes from there. I found a point that I liked on 36 m, and the depth was just below 5 m, it couldn't be shallower at such a level of the dam. I fed 10-tiny medium baskets whose mix was 2 parts clay/1 part food with absolutely no “liveries“ inside to see how the fishing would start.

I started at 9:30 and by 12 I had exactly 2 bites, 1 uklay and a nice karakuda freaked out just before the kebab. I decided to give the sluggish fish some more time to see what would happen, and after a little while more the indications became more frequent and the creeps began to appear. I managed for about 30 min to set them all up as they should 30 g. Daiwa Nzon Window small Feeder, 60 cm leader Daiwa Tournament FC 0.09 mm S Hook Gamakatsu 1010R No 12 with most often for bait one stretched pins attached to the shoulder:D Fish wanted a little more waiting than usual, they clearly did not want to eat as they should, but got together quite a lot and the competition cured “the villains“. I managed to keep them with only small amounts of chopped white and manure, adding a dry aroma MVDE Brasem Caramel.

I have finished fishing with a very satisfactory amount of fish compared to the initial lack, which once again proves that patience and a cautious approach are very important in spring fishing.
