How to determine the beginning of spring zhora in pike?
Zhor pike almost passed. Already? Yes, although in previous years at this time it was in full swing. Many of my friends missed this important event this year, which made them very upset.
Why did this happen? How not to miss zhor next year?
Many people have asked me about this. So I decided to make a video where I answer this question in detail.
In short, the time of the beginning of the pike zhor is affected by two main factors::
- Физиологическое восстановление после нереста - от 10 до 14 дней.
- The water temperature should be at least 9 degrees.
Pike spawning occurs at a water temperature of 3 to 5 degrees. This usually happens when the last ice melts or it has just come off.
As you know, the winter of 2020 was abnormally warm. The ice came down 3 weeks earlier than usual, and pike spawning also occurred earlier for this period. However, April and early May were cool and the water temperature did not want to rise above seven degrees. Therefore, even despite the recovery of pike, zhor did not start even after a month.
But as soon as it got warmer, the process started. As a result, the zhor started about 10 days earlier than usual, but the pause from the beginning of spawning to the beginning of zhor was more than a month.

How can I determine the type of fish on the echo sounder screen?
If you want to successfully fish not only near the coast or islands, you just need an echo sounder and an understanding of what it shows. In order to understand what kind of fish the echo sounder shows you at a certain moment, you need to take into account the following factors::
- Fish signal size and shape
- Depth of fish location
- Number of individuals and form of the pack
- Understanding fish migration and behavior depending on the time of year and water temperature
Taking into account the above factors, it is possible, with a certain degree of probability, to determine the type of fish. Speaking very generally, we can describe several typical properties that are characteristic of certain fish species. For example, what it looks like on the echo sounder:
- Ряпушка - Стайная рыба. Крупные облака маленьких белых точек.
- Окунь - Стайная рыба. Точки среднего размера. Форма сигнала ближе к округлой. Часто форма стаи в виде "столбика"
- Щука - чаще одиночная. Однако бывает и в небольших стаях. Сигнал более вытянутый. Может находится на любой глубине
- Судак - Стайная рыба. Предпочитает держаться у самого дна. Сигнал более вытянутый. Нередко эхолот его не видит, если судак "залег" прямо на дно. У особей есть определенное свое пространство.
- Лещ - Стайная рыба. Часто ходит плотной стаей, но бывает и распределяется у дна, в связи с чем можно спутать с судаком. Но обычно, держится чуть выше от дна и особи могут ходить плотно друг к другу.
Of course, it is better to analyze all these points using concrete examples. To do this, watch the video on my channel
Everything you need to know for a trip to Finland.
As can be seen from the questions of the channel's viewers, many people lack even basic information, not to mention the "nuances" of real life in Finland. I also get a lot of questions about what you need to know in order to go fishing in Finland or just relax in nature. I decided to fill in this gap, and prepared a "memo" for those who want to go to Finland.
I prepared a video in which I tried to answer the following questions:
- What documents do you need to travel to Finland?
- When are discounts available in Finland?
- When does the fish bite?
- Where is the cheapest place to rent a cottage in Finland?
- How do I buy a fishing license and where can I get maps of the depths of Finland?
- What are the rules for importing alcohol to Finland?
- How to get a boat across the border?
- Parking lots in Finland.
- What are the norms of goods transportation to Russia?
The video is made with a focus on those who want to go fishing in Finland, but also ordinary tourists can find a lot of useful things for themselves.
