A fishing lift, or fishing spider, is a fishing tackle that increases the number of trophies caught. These devices are useful for fishing from heights, such as bridges or cliffs. They can also be used for shore fishing by attaching a fishing rod to the lift. What is this device, and is it legal to fish with a fishing lift these days?
Variety of designs
It's worth noting that a fishing spider is considered legal when its dimensions are no larger than 1 x 1 meter, with 1 x 1 cm mesh. This type of spider is significantly helpful when catching live bait for future predatory fish like pike and perch. These structures come in various designs and are used in both summer and winter.
• Summer spider (fly net) is a square net with 4 rods and a crosspiece, with a ring-shaped fastening at the top. A strong fishing line or cord is used to lift it out of the water.
• Winter lift, a folding structure that can be lowered into the hole and then removed after being raised. The spider opens upon reaching the bottom and folds back up. For this purpose, the crosspiece is equipped with spring mechanisms.
There are very large items that need to be lowered and raised using winches.
Where and how can you fish with a fishing lift?
When visiting the Putorana Plateau, this opportunity may not present itself, as spider fishing is conducted in bodies of water with a flat bottom, free of rocks and snags. Lakes are the best option, but if you choose a tour to Agata Island , you can certainly test your strength and skills with this type of lifting mechanism.
The spider allows you to catch small fish, which can then be used to catch larger, trophy-sized predators. The simple lift can be assembled by yourself while on the shore of a pond.
How to fish with a spider?
1. First, you need to find a suitable spot, free of algae, rocks, and snags. Echo sounders or underwater cameras can help you find it. You can also use a boat or raft.
2. Having found a promising fishing spot, the device is carefully lowered to the bottom and, after a while, it should be slowly raised from the water. If no fish are caught, the time from the moment of descent to the moment of raising will need to be increased.
3. To catch as many trophies as possible, carefully bait the casting area after the structure is lowered. This will make the catch much more significant, resulting in a more satisfying number of fish.
Conclusion
Trophy fishing tours through the protected areas of the Turukhansk region offer most anglers the opportunity to learn how to catch these noble species. Rich waters allow anglers to challenge the mighty taimen, the master of Siberian rivers, or to catch valuable lenok, grayling, and whitefish.
After a helicopter transfer to a rafting expedition along numerous routes, guests of the reserve will discover the many delights and secrets of the Arctic taiga, considered one of the extraordinary wonders of the world.
