Decoys
The decoys are of all forms and colors. As its name indicates it is an ideal weapon to delude fish, mainly carnivores. The fisherman practitioner this technique will constitute an important collection very quickly, knowing that a decoy whatever it is does not give obligatorily same results the one day on the other, in the same place.

The history of the decoys is lost in the mists of time.
Undoubtedly is necessary it to find in its origins the first situation of a fisherman who did not have any within reach. The idea to draw the attention of fish by deluding it gives place since decades, to see more, with years of unbounded imagination.
The development of the needs, that of materials were combined with the passing of years to offer to the professional fishermen and to amateurs a multitude of these machines intended for the fisheries… the decoys.

For fish, a sound, a vibration and an odor, are directions well used for its survival. In addition to the fact of making use of it to protect itself from a predator, the fish finds its food with its sensory means developed. Thus the decoys from their forms, their colors, the vibrations which they cause act on these directions and start the reflex of attack.
The decoys are sometimes of very good imitations whose palm returns incontestably to the flies. They are the fruit of meticulous observations of the environment and address for the design of these decoys of a frightening effectiveness.

Flexible decoys
The flexible decoys since years are well marketed in the stores. Vis-a-vis the very great number of models available on the market, the good strategy of purchase will be to know under which conditions you will use such or such flexible decoy.
According to sought fish, the season, the type of water and the nature of the post, you will have the choice of a model which will confirm or not its effectiveness.
The decoys flexible can be classified in two big families. Imitations and commun runs.
The imitations (, , frog…) are to be used in priority where these is present. The carnivores present will be naturally attracted by what resembles their usual prey so much. The visual direction of fish is the important parameter in the use of this type of decoy. Thus, on a reduced post and in a relatively clear water, Pikes, Booms and other carnivores without any doubt will be tried by this artificial prey.
The common flexible decoys exploit other directions of the carnivores. In fact mainly the vibrations will attract them, curiosity obliges. The color are a final key which will decide the carnivores to leap on the decoy that you forward to him.

To be complete and make the good choice, the size and the color of a flexible decoy are of importance and will decide also your successes.
According to fish that you would like to fish, it is advisable to forward a decoy to him whose size is in connection with that of its ordinary preys at the moment T, according to the season. Nature is thus made that the beautiful days offer to the carnivores an abundant food with young fish. At the end of the season, these easy preys are rarer. Also the carnivore will not hesitate to absorb a larger fish to nourish itself. When it has the choice (be), it is not rare to see a Pike of 70 cm attacking a fish of a score of centimetres. The Pike perch is him more reasonable and selected smaller fish.
As regards the colors, the principle is simple. The fish in of food will be very to attract by what he sees well. Thus in clear weather, he sees without evil his victims passed with carried jaws, which will not be the case when the weather is been overcast. Without waking up its mistrust, you can thus use a decoy with the bright colors per good weather or in a clear water, while in gloomy weather or in a water in charge the use of a decoy less coloured is recommended.
The animation of these decoys remains a technique that it will be necessary for you to control to benefit all from this investment.

The fish swimmers
The first fish swimmers, such “” expensive with the fishermen of the Thirties, had evil to assert themselves vis-a-vis the spoons then rudimentary. The fish swimmers of the mark will change all gradually gives it. First (c) was born there is an about sixty year.
To make a complete inventory of the fish swimmers would note today of the exploit so much they are numerous. After the spoon and the flexible decoy, this decoy finds its place in a growing number of limps with fisheries and meets one big hit near the fishermen of carnivores. The family of the fish swimmers can be broken up into 4 branches. You will find in the trade fish of surface, floating fish, fish diving and running fish. Organized thus according to their density, the fisherman will be able consequently which decoy to use according to the post and of the of prospection.
The fish swimmer of surface
The fish swimmers of surface are well adapted on areas difficult to prospect because of presence of herbaria or immersed branches. He is very effective for near the post, it should be smoothed motionless a few seconds before beginning recovery with blow of drawn short and slow drawn longer with exposure times. It is often at this time that the king of our water starts are attack. The fisherman must then control his reflexes and wait a few seconds hardly before shoeing.
The fish floating swimmer
The fish floating swimmers are to be used mainly in shallow and calm water., to prospect post offices highlighted by branches and herbaria. He evolves/moves with low depths according to his size and of his density. Thus more this type of fish is large and heavy, plus its depth of work will be important. The drawn dry ones, canes in the air, will cause to go up the decoy surfaces some before it is inserted again.

To fish…
The fish plunging swimmer
The fish plunging swimmer not very, fleet naturally and dives at the time of the phases of recovery. The depth of fisheries can reach the eters. The stops during recovery will make go up the poison swimmer.
The fish floating swimmers, very plunging still evolve/move with more important depths ().
The size, the form and the angle of the edge strip determine the depth of development of the fish swimmers. Here is a decoy imitates perfectly a fish in difficulty and no doubt that a carnivore located at will come to examine what occurs.
The fish running swimmer
This fish is used primarily in the great depths and thus adapted particularly well for the lakes or at sea. It dives naturally as soon as recovery is ceased. to animate them and tend to go up when animation is taken again. In addition to their visual negotiable instruments, these decoys cause also the vibrations to attract the carnivores. On good number of models, balls placed in the body are of a real effectiveness.

Spoons
The spoons, undulating () or revolving () are omnipresent in the fisheries of the carnivore. Not one limps with fisheries is unaware of this decoy which one finds certain in catalogs of the years 1920. Its attraction for fish is indisputable.
The spoon has a pallet which causes vibrations of amplitudes and frequencies different, selective with respect to the fished carnivore. In France, the revolving spoon is that the most employed and by far. Elsewhere (British Isles, Northern Europe, American continent), the fishermen of carnivores choose more readily undulating.
|
That it is of a revolving spoon or one undulating, the color with an undeniable importance. Let us not forget that the aim is to delude fish, and that the good fisherman will try to put himself at his place. Thus when the pike is in a shallow area, a fish must appear clear to him. On the other hand, in water deeper and charged, its preys must logically be much darker.
One can thus deduce from it that in clear weather the choice of a silver plated decoy is preferable whereas in weather covered a spoon with the colors minus sharp is more effective.
The size of the spoon used must be proportioned with required fish and this according to the season. The carnivore is interested in the food which it finds easily. In autumn, it consumes large amounts of very many alevins. At this period of year, the small spoons are then preferable. On the other hand during the cold season, the small fish hid and only the groins still from time to time. A model of larger spoon will be then more effective.
Now and for the purists, if the family of the carnivores are one and indivisible, Brochet, Sandre, Perche, and Truite have each one their own dietary habits and of the specific behaviors. Thus the spoon to be used will be different in its forms, its color but more especially in the animation which it will be advisable to use to allure one or the other. To know fish is thus primordial!

Flies
The fisheries with the fly above all and since glosses are intended for the fisheries of . The development of the leisure-fisheries and the passion of certain fishermen for this technique make that it is now increasingly current to see these fisheries practiced for other fish. The Pike, the Black-bass, but also the Carp and the Tench are the purpose of the increasing attention of the . If these fisheries are practiced primarily out of fresh water, the fisheries with the fly of the Bar and count increasingly many partisans. Based on a very good knowledge of the aquatic environment, the diversity of the practice of these fisheries undoubtedly explains partly the extraordinary number of the imitations available
 Nymph
The artificial flies can be classified in 4 great groups
Nymphs
Embedded flies
Dry flies
 Embedded fly
The first three groups relate to watery imitations of insects at various stages of their developments. With the whole beginning is the Nymph. It is about the insect to the state of larva.
|
Its development will continue in emerging water while becoming one. The embedded flies are imitations of this stage () of life of the insect which will join surface after a fashion. So good number of these flies die of exhaustion once on the surface (), others will take their flight and will dry with the free air. It is observation of these flying flies which the fisherman will fire his inspiration to make his imitations known as dry flies.
 Fly dries
The most imitated insects are the transitory ones, the , the , the dipterous ones, the . These biological commands represent a great number of insects. If all, give good performances, the imitations of insects about the undoubtedly those are employed, because representing a significant portion in the fuel supply of .
The , whose assembly is based on the same principles that of the flies, is not AP obligatorily an imitation.
Its main objective is to cause the attack of the carnivore, by its vibrations and its movements under water. With this intention, the is of good size and implements long fibers.
