After reading this article, you may become a legend among the fishermen you know. "He knows something, - they will talk about you, - because he always returns with a catch ...". And you will know the elementary thing: what kind of fish to fish at high pressure, and what kind at low pressure.
| Low pressure, less than 760 mm Hg. Art. | Normal atmospheric pressure, 760 mmHg Art. | High pressure, more than 760 mm Hg. Art. | A sharp change in pressure |
| Partly cloudy, light wind. |
| Strong, gusty wind. |
- If the atmospheric pressure rises, bream, silver bream, sabrefish, ide, chub and asp become active. The perch also becomes more violent, especially the young. With decreasing pressure, these species become lethargic.
- The bottom predatory fish decreases its activity with increasing pressure. Catfish and burbot subside. The pike also becomes lethargic. But with a decrease in pressure, the predatory fish becomes more active - it uses the lethargy of the white for a successful hunt. Daytime pike perch, catfish, burbot, large perch and pike become mobile.
- With a sharp drop in atmospheric pressure, almost all fish become inactive.
- Pike perch is one of the few fish that practically does not react to changes in atmospheric pressure.
A universal sign: if the pressure is stable for two to three days, the bite will be excellent.
To track pressure while fishing, it is better to use a sports watch with a barometer: it is protected from shocks and rain, and has many useful functions. But we rarely wear a clock at home, where a wall barometer comes in handy - it will be a beautiful addition to the interior of any living room.
