Fishing with a scarf. Headscarf fishing in winter

Fishing is popular at any time of the year. Such a pastime allows you to relax, forget about all the problems and feel like a real hunter. Today there are a lot of special tools that guarantee a successful outcome. fishing... One of the fisherman's devices is a kerchief. It can be done independently, taking into account all the preferences of the master. Next, we will consider options for how to knit a scarf for fishing yourself.

What is a fishing headscarf?

Klondike for summer fishing is a popular fishing tackle that has a strong frame made of metal, and a special mesh is attached to it. In addition, the metal part is a kind of weight, thanks to which the net is not pushed out by water and quickly sinks to the bottom. A variety of product models allows you to choose the most suitable option and have a successful fishing season. The sizes of the headscarf for fishing can be different and in most cases depend on the purpose of the tackle. For example, a large fish requires a net cell large sizes.

It is very easy to use the mesh headscarf for fishing. It is enough just to fix the structure made of metal with a rope and you can safely lower the product into the water. To ensure you catch fish, it is recommended to feed the prey before plunging the headscarf. The advantage of using the design is full immersion to the bottom, which allows you to catch fish of different species and fish in bad weather, when all the living creatures are concentrated on the bottom. Still, the fisherman should adjust the level of immersion, based on the assessment of the terrain and the bite.

There are several types of headscarves for summer fishing.

There are several types of headscarves for fishing. You can stop your choice on a specific model, focusing on the weather conditions. Depending on the season, it is recommended to use the correct bait, tackle and other attachments.

How to make a headscarf for summer fishing with your own hands?

Before starting work, the fisherman needs to carefully research the question of how to knit a scarf for fishing himself. The good news is that everyone can make a product. The process does not require specific skills and expensive materials. All you need is to follow the technology, how to properly make a scarf for fishing, and do the job efficiently.

Materials for work

Before starting work, you should carefully consider which type of fish is preferable to catch, where the fishing will take place and in what season of the year. Only then can you answer exactly how to knit a scarf for fishing. Indeed, the size of the product and its effectiveness depend on the size of the prey and its habitat.

So, for work you will need the following materials:

  1. Fishing net canvas - this attribute must have a mesh size required for catching a certain type of fish. The larger the loot, the larger the cells should be, and vice versa.
  2. Frame - this structure can be built with your own hands. The main material is wire with a diameter of 4-5 mm.
  3. Fishing line - the material must be thick (at least 0.8 mm). Alternatively, the use of nylon thread is allowed.

The outcome of the fishing will depend on the quality of the materials. Of course, it is better to use more expensive items and in the future the result will meet all expectations.


It's very easy to make a headscarf for fishing

Fishing Headscarves Making Process

By purchasing necessary materials, the fisherman is faced with the question of how to weave a scarf for fishing?

The manufacturing procedure is quite simple and consists of three stages:

  1. The fishing net is placed on a flat surface (preferably on the floor). Next, the workpiece is cut according to the selected dimensions. At this stage, the metal frame should already be ready and the resulting workpiece should be attached to it. In order for the structure to easily attach to the sinker, it is necessary to make notches on the surface of the frame every 20 mm.
  2. The second step is to tackle the fishing line. The material should be carefully threaded through the bottom of the net and held together where the notches were made. It is important that the net sags slightly. This will help you catch more fish.
  3. All cells must be tied with a nylon thread, and the material must be fixed on the sides of the wire sinker. This process will provide a reinforcing base. It is necessary to make loops on the structure; in the future, the fisherman will tie a rope to them, which will allow the product to go down and up.

Having figured out how to weave a net, think about the materials that will be used. If necessary, use the help of a friend and build the structure together.


The strength of the finished product depends on the choice of raw materials for the scarf.

How to properly equip your headscarf for fishing?

Despite several technologies and techniques for preparing a headscarf for fishing, there are no big differences in work. A feature of each product is the size of the network cells, depending on the type of prey that the fisherman wants to catch. There are also some differences in the headscarves used for fishing in the winter and summer seasons. But the manufacturing principle remains unchanged: the metal frame is connected to the mesh and firmly fixed.

The principle of fishing with a headscarf

The device is used in any weather. The difference lies in the place of fishing, in winter these are, as a rule, holes; in the summer - reservoirs and rivers. Fishing for a scarf in the spring, as in other seasons, begins with intensive bait (it is important not to overfeed the fish). Then, with the help of a rope, the product is lowered into the water to the required depth and it only takes time to enjoy the resulting catch.

Fishing technique

So, the main question of the fisherman is "How to put on a headscarf for fishing?" At the very beginning, you need to decide on the place where fishing will be carried out. Next, you should prepare the groundbait, taking into account the weather conditions and the type of fish. To prevent the device from drowning, it is tied to a rope and lowered into the water. Disguise will not be superfluous. The fish is very attentive and can see the trap being cooked.

Bait fish

You can buy a fish treat at the store or prepare it yourself at home. It must be remembered that different types of fish love different baits. The fishing season is equally influential. For example, after winter (early spring), vertebrates love complementary foods with elements of animal origin (bloodworms, maggots, worms); in summer and autumn, you can limit yourself to cereals and flavors.

You can use a regular device or a folding one. The main difference of the product is the triangular shape, which gives more chances for fish to get entangled, as a result, to increase the fisherman's catch.

The time was about 10 o'clock in the morning. I woke up early and did not want to fall asleep again. After lying for about half an hour, an interesting thought occurred to me. And she came to me because the roof of my neighbors can be seen from the window of my house. A cat was walking along this roof, carrying some kind of food in its teeth. Whether it was a fish or a piece of meat remained unknown to me. However, it was the thoughts of fishing in winter that began to pop up in my head. After 15 minutes of thinking, I came to the conclusion that it would be nice to fish without much time. Namely - to use the kerchief as the main fishing tool. If someone has forgotten, a kerchief is such a triangular network. A piece of wire up to 1.5 meters long is used as a load, and a foam float is tied on top. This is the kind of tackle I decided to fish with. The technique of installing a kerchief in winter has been known to me for a long time. A couple of years ago, I already had experience in installing nets on ice, in parallel with this I put several kerchiefs. Unfortunately, I do not remember the result of the last catch, so I decided to experiment and hope for the best. With these thoughts, I already put the kettle on and warmed up my porridge. The whole process of eating food was accompanied by brain activity... Eating my last cookie, I already knew exactly what and how I would do in the next hour.
The day was surprisingly cold. I didn’t have time to look at the weather on the Internet, but I don’t have a regular thermometer. Putting on sports tights and a light jacket, I went to the garage. Going out into the yard, I realized that I dressed very lightly, but to return - Bad sign... Fortunately, the garage is located 10 meters from the entrance to the house. I live in the private sector. Therefore, I did not manage to freeze through, although the weather was favorable for this. Quickly orienting myself in the garage, I took out a few metal rods, with scaffolding and ropes wound around them. These were kerchiefs. I had them because as a child I was fond of knitting these very scarves. Having dragged all this dirt into the house, I began to get ready for the upcoming hike on the ice.
The essence of the invented technique was as follows. Having drilled a hole, it is fed with an abundance of food. After lowering the top dressing, a kerchief is placed. Everything is simple and not tedious. A good "catch" of this method would mean that it would no longer be necessary to sit with a fishing rod and wait for a bite. I put on a few kerchiefs, and you can go home. It was planned to take the catch the next day. However, such an option would be suitable, in which fishing is also carried out with a fishing rod, and kerchiefs are like a safety net and confidence in the availability of a catch.

As an experiment, I decided to use a fine mesh scarf. The cell size was 18 mm. Those who are guided by these values ​​now grinned. The fact is that this is a very small mesh, and only live bait can be caught in such a kerchief. However, not big catch moved the process, and my curiosity. The kerchief has been checked for holes and is equipped with an extra piece of scaffold. At summer fishing the kerchief is simply thrown into the water with a stick. It can also be lowered from the boat. In winter, you need to lower the kerchief into a narrow hole from under the ice screw. That is why an additional piece of fishing line was required, attached to one of the ends of the load wire. After securing one end, I measured a couple of meters and tied the other end of the line to the main rope. Now the kerchief can be lowered into the hole, holding for an additional segment, and after it is in the water column, I will take the main rope, and the kerchief itself will take correct shape in water.
The klondike was ready to fish. Meanwhile, in the kitchen, water was boiling in a saucepan. I was cooking porridge. Or rather, he cooked several types of cereals. It was semolina, peas, pearl barley. A little bit of everything, but in the end it turned out to be half a plastic bag. I mixed all the porridges with each other, and also added soaked bread. After putting the mass in a plastic container, I went to get dressed.
By that time I had already seen the weather. -28 degrees. For many anglers, this temperature is unacceptable. But I, charged with optimism and enthusiasm, cannot retreat. Valenki, a warm jacket, three pants, three socks, a hat, a down jacket and mittens - that's what I was wearing that day. I left the house.
It would seem that everything is ready and you can move forward. But I did not find the ice screw in the usual place for him. Immediately I remembered that in the fall I dug holes for them for the fence posts. At this point, experienced anglers smile again. Because the ice screw, after interacting with the ground, could hardly drill the ice with confidence. I would not say that I was not trying to do something. Taking a file, I conjured over dull knives. As a result, this turned out, of course, not enough, but about everything In order.
Forgot to say that winter fishing I'm happy, interesting and traditional. That is, while sitting in a warm tent, I fish with interest and pleasure. But experimentation and an unconventional approach is a characteristic of me. That is why I am already approaching the frozen and snowy river.
I considered it unnecessary and poorly effective to experiment on the river itself. It's all about the flow. And the bait, which was supposed to be a key factor, would be carried away downstream, thereby distracting the fish from the established net. I headed for the backwater, so to speak. It is very good that we have a place nearby where the current has no power over the water. This backwater has connections with the river, but in general looks like a separate lake. It is here that you can find an abundance of anglers. For reference, I will say that on weekends, on the ice you can see up to 30 tents with fishermen. In principle, fish are caught and many people prefer to sit on the ice instead of lying on the couch.
So I arrived at the place. The frost pretty much knocked down the ranks of winter fishing enthusiasts. Besides, it was already evening time, about 4 o'clock. A couple of tents could be seen in the distance, but not a soul was near me.
Taking a look around the area, I found a suitable bend near the coast, opposite which, as it seemed to me, a fish must surely be standing. This was supported by the fact that there were several wooden sticks, which means that pike was caught here. There is a pike - there is a small fish, I thought. I began to drill a hole exactly between two tent sites. Apparently, in the morning fishermen were sitting on them, and now I had the opportunity to catch fish fed by them. Then the first incident happened. Ice screw did not want to drill the ice. With great difficulty and noise, I drilled only 15 centimeters, and that was because I strongly pressed my weight on the ice screw. Realizing that this attempt would not be crowned with success, I went to study the age of the tent sites. And lo and behold, indeed, they were fresh. Several manipulations with an ice screw on an old hole, and I saw water. Sighing with relief, I took out the shabala and pulled the ice out of the hole. Having perked up my spirit, I was already shoveling the bait prepared at home. And I shook her into the trough. It is worth telling a little about this tool. A homemade feeder designed for targeted delivery of feed to the bottom. It is arranged in such a way that with a slight movement of the hand, the bottom opens up, and all the bait spills out in the immediate vicinity of the bottom. I lowered about 3 feeders to the bottom. The capacity of one is such a good handful of feed. In addition to the bottom, I decided to open the feeder half a meter, as well as a couple of times a meter from the bottom. Well, the hole itself, I threw a few handfuls of the remaining feed. The remnants of porridge slowly swirled in the lenok, and I circled around it, warming up my already freezing legs and arms. - 28 in an open area, and even with the wind turned into - 30. Literally in 3 minutes, I felt fine, and with my bare hands I was spinning the tackle. The process of lowering the "fresh" kerchief did not cause any trouble. I put it on the very bottom, pulling the main rope a little, and giving the kerchief a "taut" position. Holding the rope with his finger, and making sure that the fish did not immediately fall into the net, he went for a walk along the lake. Standing still was a bad idea, because, as you know, not actively circulating blood in the limbs quickly freezes. After making a small circle, which took about 20 minutes of my time, I returned to my tackle. He pulled it out and was surprised. There was not a single fish in the headscarf. Having thought about it as far as the situation allowed, I decided to put it one more time, but now at a distance from the bottom. The fact is that I remembered how we caught fry on the first ice last year. Then the fish could be seen directly from the hole. Small live baits swam under the very ice. Having decided that maybe even now the fish is in the water, I raised the scarf a couple of meters above the bottom level. Another 20-minute walk, again I am standing at the hole. Pulled out - empty. There was no way to experiment with the place, again because of the auger, and I started to get ready.
On the way home, I made conclusions and assumptions. Everything concerned without a successful experiment. Main question: "Why? *" Found several answers in my head: Wrong place to fish. The kerchief did not last long.
Of course, it is impossible to draw precise conclusions, and therefore I set myself up for further experiments. I decided that the first step was to buy new knives for the ice drill. Equip a couple more scarves, and place them in different parts of the reservoir. I also thought about experimenting with food. Maybe it was worth using flavors, and live additives - bloodworms or hunchbacks. After all, in winter the fish is not so active, and perhaps in such a frost it is not tempted by simple porridge.
At home I was already at dusk, pretty frozen and surprised by the result of the catch. But nothing can be done, you need to take it for granted today’s experiment, and try something else. Such is my experience. I wish you a good bite, warm weather, and the realization of your thoughts!

Fishing in the winter is quite difficult and dangerous. Prolonged exposure to severe frost can lead to frostbite of the fingers and toes, as well as the skin of the face. In addition, fishing on thin ice very dangerous, many extreme fishermen have already drowned.

And to catch for a short time perch and roach on the ear or quickly provide themselves with live bait, fishermen use headscarves. What is this catchy tackle and how to use it correctly?

How to make a headscarf for fishing

“Televisions and headscarves belong to the so-called screen gear. They are briefly lowered into the river, then raised and the fish entangled in the screen net are collected.

“Television sets are quadrangular sections of networks with a sinker and a float,“ kerchiefs are triangular. “The klondike is most convenient for winter fishing, when it is easier to stretch it into an ice hole.

It is not difficult to make a “headscarf for fishing on your own”. Buy a piece of set cloth from a fishing store required size.

The size of the cells should be selected depending on the type of fish you are going to catch. Prepare a reinforcing rod with a diameter of 3-5 mm; for fishing in the course of the river, you may need a rod with a diameter of up to 1 cm.

Spread the net over a large surface. Mark the outermost cells on both sides with electrical tape or rope (take into account the allowances of 2-3 cells for the fastening).

Calculate the number of cells in length, mark the average. Set aside a distance equal to the height of the "gusset."

Count the cell spacing, the bottom middle cell should be right below the top one. Take a sharp pair of scissors and cut at the corner of the edge of the scarf from the top to the edge meshes on both sides.

Each subsequent row should be two cells larger than the previous one, one on each side. You should have a triangular canvas with the same sides.

Apply deep notches to the ends of the reinforcing bar with a chisel at a distance of 2 cm (5-6 pcs.). Pass a strong nylon thread through all the cells of the bottom edge of the set.

Fasten this thread on the side notches of the reinforcement with reliable knots so that a slight slack of 4-6 cm of the net edge is formed. The thread must run parallel to the reinforcement without twisting.

Divide the length of the bottom edge of the mesh canvas into four equal pieces, mark the boxes. Attach the nylon thread in these cells to the reinforcing bar, respectively.

Pass a vein (thick fishing line or nylon rope) upwards into the cells of one side of the kerchief. Next, thread the same vein down the other side.

Attach the vein to the rebar at the bottom edge on both sides. The vein must go up and down through each mesh of the web.

At the top of the “kerchief”, it is necessary to leave 8-10 cm veins to create an attachment loop. By pulling and stretching the mesh on the side veins of the gusset, you should get its required height (0.85 of the total height of the mesh).

This provides a little slack in the sides to help the fish get tangled up in the tackle. Tighten the upper tab of the gusset plate with a simple knot.

The kerchiefs are screen tackles. They sink into the water for a short time, then rise, after which the fish entangled in the screen net is collected.

TV - pieces of 4-angle nets with sinkers and a float. The gussets have a 3-sided shape.

They are mainly used during winter fishing, when it can easily be pulled into the hole. It is quite easy to make such a net for fishing yourself.

The principle of fishing with a headscarf

The gusset is a triangular mesh fabric. At the bottom of the tackle, a metal wire is mounted, which serves as a kind of sinker.

The size of the cell is selected for the fish that will be caught. For example, for catching small representatives of the ichthyofauna, a mesh with a mesh size of 18-20 mm is used.

The kerchief is tied to a rope or thick fishing line and lowered into the hole. To attract prey to the point of fishing, you must first lower the bait mixture. Usually the scarf is placed on the bottom, where all kinds of fish keep in winter.

The most successful fishing is at the beginning of freeze-up, when the fish is actively moving in search of comfortable places for stopping.

During the deaf winter, the use of kerchiefs is not very promising, but with the approach of spring, the catchability of this tackle increases again.

Sometimes fish fry rise to the upper layers of the water. In this case, it is necessary to install a mesh product directly under the hole. Fishing with a headscarf can be static or dynamic. In the first case, the net is left for a day or overnight, carefully masking the place of fishing.

Some hobbyists prefer to fish in the daytime with ordinary fishing rods, at the same time installing headscarves next to them. After 20-30 minutes, the netting is checked for prey.

A gusset is a triangular tackle, consisting of a metal frame, on which a canvas is fixed in the form of a mesh. The metal frame also serves as a sinker that allows the scarf to sink into the water column.

The size of the cells of the canvas can be different and depends on the purpose of the tackle. If it is supposed to fish not big (live bait), then the size of the cells can be up to 20mm, and if it is fishing for full-size fish (on the ear or on the roast), then the sizes of the cells can lie within 50mm or more.

The tackle is attached to the rope and lowered into the hole, which was previously filled with bait in order to attract more fish. The kerchief sinks to the very bottom, because in winter period it is located at a depth at the very bottom. A kerchief is effective at the beginning of winter and at the end of it, but in the midst of cold weather a kerchief can hardly catch anything.

Depending on the conditions, the tackle can be installed in the water column, closer to the surface, when the "small thing" rises in search of food or in search of an extra breath of oxygen. Fishing can be both active and passive, when the tackle is set for the night or for the day.

Many anglers take a kerchief with them on regular fishing and install it nearby to increase the effectiveness of the fishing itself.

We make the Klondike, winter version

Making a scarf with your own hands is not very difficult.

you can start with an ordinary, not folding headscarf 180 cm long. It will be catchy and quite easy to manufacture. And transportable.

It is not very difficult to make a headscarf with your own hands, you can start with an ordinary, non-folding headscarf 180 cm long. It will be catchy and quite simple to make.

And transportable. The kerchief consists of a set-cloth, triangular, or trapezoidal, a piece of reinforcement with a thickness depending on the place of fishing.

For example, in a karassin pond, you can use 3 mm reinforcement or a steel rigid bar, or better reinforcement 5 mm thick, so as not to bend it due to inexperience. For flow and fishing with a small cell, you can use reinforcement up to 1 cm thick.

Setepolitno. Take a set of cloth with a height of 1.8 meters, suppose that you cut it off from a doll (a standard cloth 60 m long and 1.8 m high) And calculate the number of lower cells for the kerchief.

Formula: D / A * 0.9 Where D is the length of the reinforcement (mm). For our sample, it is 1800, and the mesh (mm) (for example 45, 60, 33, that is, the mesh is flat, is the distance of the fishing line between the 2 nearest knots). Usually written on a doll or easily measured with a ruler. 0.9 is the landing factor.

From the result obtained, we take only the whole part, we discard everything after the commas, the fractional part. Because this error was taken into account when landing due to the fact that the extreme 4 cm are occupied by fasteners.

This whole part, the number of cells, must be written down on a piece of paper. And next to write this number divided by 4.

If it is not divisible by an integer, let's say the remainder is 1-3 cells, then evenly distribute it over all quarters when planting. If in some quarter there will be 1 cell more, and in another by 1 less, then the fishing will not be worse from this, for this the coefficient 0.9 is taken into account.

Stretch the web so that it hangs on the wall for a few meters. Count the number A on the set-canvas from the bottom corner edge.

Do not be too lazy to highlight the extreme lower cells of your future scarf with some tied wool thread or something else. And then they are always distracting, or knocked down, then you make a mistake, and you cut off the sikos nakos, or you have to count.

And then cut it diagonally. From the edge, starting from the second cell from the bottom, cut off so that each time the row from the edge is 1 more.

You will end up with a pyramidal diagonal. So cut off to the top cells and separate the unnecessary corner of the set-cloth (do not throw it away, then it may come in handy for something).

You should now have a pyramidal structure for the edge of the canvas. And the bottommost cell is the one you marked, you have not yet reached the other.

Stretch this canvas somehow so that you can see everything.

Making a classic scarf

The klondike can be used to catch fish of different sizes.

Therefore, the parameters of the tackle will have some differences.

The manufacturing technology of such a tackle is practically the same, despite the fact that it can catch fish of different sizes.

Headscarf fishing technique

Fishing with a scarf from under the ice is not considered difficult. Any beginner will be able to master this method during several trips to the reservoir. At the same time, most of the time will be spent on searching for fish sites, and not on improving the skills for installing a scarf.

The klondike is considered a very catchy winter tackle for the first ice and for the last ice... It allows you to catch the required amount of fish with minimal cost.

Klondike for fishing

Before answering the question of how to make a headscarf for fishing, we will consider several informative points describing this tackle, and in what area it will be more effective. It is best to use a headscarf on ice fishing.

Fishing in the winter is remembered for a long time, if you sit for hours at the hole, you can freeze your limbs or fall under the ice. Using a scarf will shorten the waiting time and help you easily catch fish bait for dinner.

What is the tackle

This is a triangular screen tackle, the main task of which is to entangle the fish in a short time in the water. Due to its convenient shape, it is widely used in winter fishing. It consists of a frame made of metal and a mesh net fixed to it, while the size of the cells depends on the size of the fish that is caught with this tackle. The weight of the frame serves as a sinker in the water.

Fishing tackle The "kerchief" is widely used for winter fishing because of its convenient triangular shape, which can easily fit into the hole. Before you start fishing, the fishing site is well fed, only then they begin to install the tackle.

After complementary feeding, the tackle is attached to the rope and immersed in the hole. The success of fishing with a headscarf depends on the fishing conditions: the active height of biting will be at the beginning and at the end of winter, in severe frost it will be difficult to catch anything on it.

A scarf is a very useful tackle for every fisherman. Let's consider what is required for manufacturing, and how to make a scarf for fishing with your own hands will be described in the next section:

  • fishnet- the size of the cells depends on the fisherman, the choice is individual;
  • wire 5 mm - it is necessary to create a frame;
  • nylon thread, thick fishing line.

Use kerchiefs at the very beginning of winter, when the ice has just matured. Fishing at this time is much more effective, since during this period it is looking for a place to stay, but be careful - fishing on thin ice can be dangerous.

Manufacturing

It is very simple to make a scarf for fishing according to the correct scheme, according to this simple scheme, you can make several scarves and actively use them while fishing.

Find a comfortable place to start work, a flat surface, after that we proceed to answer the question - how to make a scarf for fishing:

  1. The prepared mesh must be placed on the floor or other flat surface, and then cut off the workpiece. The frame is marked with an interval of 2 cm for a more accurate installation of the mesh.
  2. A fishing line is threaded through the bottom of the workpiece, after which it must be tied in the places where the marks were applied.
  3. A nylon thread is attached to the mesh and wires located on the sides, creating a reinforced layer, it is imperative to thread a thread through each mesh cell. In the same place, make loops for installing a rope in them, for which the kerchief will be immersed in water.

Complementary feeding and fishing

There should be no difficulties in manufacturing, and in the process of fishing too, the main problem of fishing with a headscarf is the search for fish sites, the correct feeding and time. Any ready-made mixtures, vegetable and animal additives such as crackers, steamed grains, cake and maggot are suitable as a fishing mixture for complementary foods.

Step-by-step process of catching with a scarf:
  • in order to successfully start fishing with kerchiefs, you need to drill a hole, for this we purchase an ice ax;
  • having drilled a hole, we feed the fish - you need to use special feeders that can be immersed at the very bottom, after which the container opens and the mixture remains at the bottom;
  • now we lower the tackle into the hole, the sinker with the lower part should lie at the bottom, and the net should be stretched like a canvas, the cord is tied to a stick. Now we calmly fish with a headscarf, sitting in a warm place and waiting for the catch.

“I fish at night, before leaving the kerchief, I cover the hole with snow and branches: the snow does not allow the hole and kerchief to freeze, and also disguises the tackle, the fish behaves calmer and the next morning I check the tackle and collect the catch, almost always comes across good perch"- from the words of an experienced fisherman.

Having dealt with the question of how to fish with this tackle, you can safely go on winter fishing - the catch will be big.

But do not be greedy, take fish in moderation for dinner. Take care of yourself and nature on the ice.

In terms of variety, winter fishing tackles are not inferior to summer ones. An interesting option for catching is considered to be fishing with kerchiefs in winter. In such a simple way, you can simultaneously catch several specimens of fish. And making the tackle is quite simple yourself at home.

What it is

It is a small triangular mesh with a metal frame. The average length of one side is 1.5 m.A piece of old fishing net... The size of the cells is selected individually.

It all depends on what kind of fish you want to catch. If you need to catch live bait, then the size of the cells is enough and up to 20 mm, for full-fledged specimens of perch, roach, you should choose a mesh with cells up to 50 mm.

The frame is assembled from rods of metal wire, which simultaneously serve as a sinker. Thanks to him, the kerchief sinks to the bottom and is fixed vertically.

To prevent the bar from sliding off the mesh, special ears are wrapped at its ends. For reliability, it is recommended to make notches along the frame that will hold the line in one position.

Moreover, for correct work tackle the canvas in the areas of attachment to the wire is not tied tightly, but is allowed to sag a little.

The ends of the line should come out to the top of the gusset and be securely tied together. On the sides of the metal frame, you need to leave loops for the cord, due to which the tackle is lowered into the hole.

Where and when to install

When looking for places to fish in the cold season, it is worth considering the limited food supply and water temperature. On the first ice and as spring approaches, trophies should be looked for in the reeds and closer to the shore. Then they are most active, as they are looking for wintering places. In the middle of winter, fish in schools go to the depths, where they stand until warming. Excellent sheltered - these are sharp cliffs of the bottom of the reservoir, pits.

Using this tackle in the wilderness, according to experienced fishermen, is a waste of time. This device is often taken for winter fishing as an auxiliary means of catching fish. By installing them near the holes, where they try their luck with the bait.


The tackle does not need constant checking. Therefore, fishermen put it at night or in the morning, and get it out in the evening.

In search of live bait, you can try to fix the kerchief in the water column or closer to the surface directly under the hole. Juveniles often rise from the depths in search of food or due to lack of oxygen. But before that, it is worth lowering the bait mixture into the hole in order to increase the chances of catching.

How to make a scarf with your own hands step by step

  • a piece of net with a mesh diameter from 18 to 50 mm (depending on the size of the catch);
  • metal wire with a diameter of 4 to 5 mm;
  • scissors;
  • chisel (to create notches on the frame);
  • roulette;
  • marker (for marking);
  • thickened fishing line with a diameter of 0.8 mm (alternative - nylon thread).


To make it easier to work with the mesh, it is better to spread it on a flat surface (floor, table).

Such winter tackle are done in the following order:

  1. After the canvas has been leveled, the marking is performed. The recommended shape is an isosceles triangle.
  2. Cut out the workpiece with scissors.
  3. We form a wire frame. Its length depends on the size of the canvas. He will be responsible for quick dive tackle water.
  4. Along the entire bar, every 20 mm we make notches with a chisel. You should get from 4 to 6 pieces. They are needed to fix the canvas on the frame.
  5. We fasten the mesh to the bar, tying it to a knot in the places of the notches. But we do it not close, but with a little sagging.
  6. We pass a thick line through each cell of the sides of the triangle. We knit one end to the frame, form a loop from the other. It is needed to fasten the rope, which will lower the kerchief into the water.

Tackle assembly time is 10 minutes at no cost.

Many fishermen manage to catch 3-5 or more headscarves at the same time. This is due to the fact that the device is not considered a poaching network, and there are no restrictions on its use.

High-quality feeding of the place is a mandatory step. winter fishing and increasing its effectiveness several times.
Oddly enough, but practice shows that this small net does not work well without proper feeding.

So it's worth trying:

  • soaked bread;
  • steamed pearl barley, wheat;
  • breadcrumbs;
  • store.


The photo shows schematically the correct distribution of complementary foods during fishing for a scarf on a river, a reservoir, and other bodies of water with a current.

But you need to understand that the type of food is selected individually for each reservoir. Therefore, it is better to take several species for fishing at once and experiment.

The nuances of fishing technique

  1. The main task is to correctly determine the areas of the reservoir where the fish are hibernating. To do this, you will have to drill more than a dozen holes in a new place.
  2. When the thickness of the ice has not reached another 10 cm, you can make holes with a sharp crowbar (paw). With a higher value, an ice screw should be used.
  3. It is better to put the bait in a special feeder, which will bring it to the desired point.
  4. A rope or cord, with the help of which the kerchief is lowered or raised, is tied to a stick, which is placed across the hole.
  5. If you want to leave the tackle in the water overnight, then it is better to mask the hole so that well-wishers do not reach it before you.


When the kerchief is used during the day, the catch should be checked every half hour.

Correct position of the tackle - the base sank to the bottom of the reservoir, and the rest of the canvas is in a taut position.

How much does the finished fixture cost?

You can buy a scarf at any fishing store. The cost depends on the quality of the mesh, size. It fluctuates between 80-200 rubles. But at home, for the same money, it will be possible to collect not one, but at least five products.

To increase the efficiency of fishing in low temperatures, the use of a headscarf will be a budget and effective solution. It can be both main and auxiliary gear for catching fish.
