We are close, very close, to the best time of the year for fishing. No, you won’t find a date printed in red on calendars.
Spring fishing’s peak is what we mean, and it can vary widely as to the actual several days where angling results are at a zenith.
As goofy as the weather has been lately, there is no telling when this will take place. A hesitant guess from this writer is that we are several days from seeing this peak. Water temperatures are our yardstick, and in most places the water is still several degrees cooler than what fishermen regard as best.
The fish in general are getting ready to spawn, and most fishermen believe the best action comes just before actual spawning and not during the spawn period. Female fish that spawn in the spring are loaded with eggs. Some carry so many eggs that their bellies are distended. This in itself is why many fishing records are set in the spring. The females are heavier.
The Arkansas Game and Fish Commission lists 57 state records for the various species of fish. Subtract five for the trout, which are not spring spawners. Of the remaining 52 state records, 24 were set in the months of March, April and May. Five more were set in early mid June, still officially spring. In addition to these records, in the unrestricted category, which includes non-rod and pole fishing, of 10 species records, five were set in March, April and May.
Towards the end of last Autumn & the beginning of this Spring/Summer I have been experimenting with hair rigging a hard pellet dead depth on the pole.Hair rigging a hard pellet is nothing new when shallow fishing, either on the pole or the pellet waggler. But it is less common to hair rig a hard pellet on the deck with the pole. It is more common to see anglers either using soft pellets with a conventional spade end hook or a banded hard pellet straight onto the hook. Both of these however have their disadvantages.Soft pellets aren’t very durable & often get ravaged by silverfish or come off the hook on the strike. Either way the result is a lot of unnecessary shipping & in & out & that means lots of wasted time. On the other hand, a banded hard pellet is more durable than soft, however it is too obtrusive on the hook & that can lead to a poor hook hold.This is where the hair rig can come into play. With the hair rig, you have the advantage of having the same hook bait as the feed. As well as the durability to withstand silvers & because you are effectively fishing a bare hook, the benefit of a secure hook hold.However as ever in fishing terms, all is as straightforward as it appears & there are one or two tips that can hopefully go some way towards a decent rig.
The first point to consider is the size & shape of hook. Currently I am experimenting with my two favourite patterns & they are a size 16 eyed B911 when finesse is required & the stronger size 16 Fox series 2B for bagging, which is noticeably a bigger size. Both are good dependable hooks with fairly wide gapes. I have found hat both these hooks just about match a 6mm hard pellet. However, I do intend to experiment with smaller hooks in order to see if the are more productive.
The second point to consider is tying the hair rig itself. Firstly I have found that it’s best to use a bait band to mount the pellet into. The band is more versatile...
