The first ice ... Thousands of ice fishing enthusiasts are looking forward to it. Looking at the weather forecast with hope, when the cold finally comes and it will be possible, having taken ice pickers and ice-drills, to go to their favorite reservoirs.
From the first ice fishing trip every lover of ice fishing has his own expectations. Someone is waiting for a meeting with perch and roach, preparing their fishing rods with mormyshkami ... Someone is preparing for a meeting with pikes, sharpening hooks and updating the flags on the sticks. Well, to someone it is the prettiest to catch rotan on the thin first ice on the pond next to the cottage. After all, for a true lover of fishing, it is important not the number of fish in the catch, but the activity itself is loved by deed.
My friend Roma Baikov, the head of the channel about fishing Fish5TV, went to his first ice on one of the small lakes near the river Oka. There are a huge number of such lakes along the river. During the flood, they are flooded with Oka water, fish from the river comes to spawn there, and a part of it remains in the lake after the water drops. I myself had to fish on such small floodplain lakes with spinning, and I want to tell you that pike and perch are present there in large numbers. Roman was counting on this, going to open the ice-fishing season to visit his partner in boat summer-autumn fishing Denis ...

Trophies were not. But this is not a great misfortune. Trophies were before, and surely will be later. But the guys had a great day fishing!
