Fishing in March 2024.
Fisherman's calendar, fishing in March 2024: a collection of the most important information for fishing for the month
Fishing in March is a real pleasure, especially considering that this period provides two options for fishing. At the beginning of spring, the weather begins to improve, sunlight breaks through the ice, and meltwater saturates the reservoir with oxygen. Fish react to these changes, becoming more active, and the catch becomes noticeably more intense. First of all, in March, fish become active in large rivers, where the current favours oxygenation of water. Fish, leaving their winter shelters, approach the shore. Thaws, the first thawed areas of ice, become places of special attention of fishermen. However, it is important to remember about elementary safety rules. You should not take risks and go far on the ice, which may already be thawed and dangerous. Fisherman's calendar for March 2024 will be a useful tool that predicts periods of active fishing and helps to organise fishing more successfully.
March fishing has a unique transitional period. This is the time when you can enjoy comfortable fishing on the last remnants of ice, and you do not have to worry about constantly cleaning the hole from the ice crust. It is too early to hide your winter tackle. In March, there is a gradual warming and an increase in the length of daylight hours. With the improvement of the weather on the reservoirs appear the first thawing, and then completely open water areas. It is now safe to use spinning and floating rods. Fish, which have become active, approach the shore and intend to rise to the upper layers of water. Some species, united in flocks, head to the mouths of streams and rivers in search of food. Fisherman's calendar for March suggests that this is the period when predators are best caught. The bream is active on the last remnants of ice. The catch of roach and gouster is also becoming more noticeable. As we approach April, catfish awakens, pikeperch shows interest in trolling, and burbot after spawning is ready to attack almost any bait, including dead livebait. Having learnt the specific behaviour of each type of fish, having prepared all necessary tackle and having chosen a good place, in March there are all chances to return home with a good catch. Don't forget to keep an eye on the lunar calendar, as experienced fishermen know that fish behaviour can change during different phases. For example, in the Full Moon the catch may suddenly worsen.
Fishing in March: peculiarities of catching.
With the onset of March, anglers can move from winter fishing from the ice to fishing on open water.
At the beginning of spring, especially on large rivers, you can expect successful fishing.
Warm sunny days without sharp gusts of wind promise to be productive.
A bad option is windy weather with rain, which can make fishing less pleasant.
On lakes and reservoirs with still water, it is recommended to look for fish on the most warmed areas with aquatic vegetation.
Note: due to martial law in some regions of Ukraine, fishing may be prohibited due to the risk of mine hazards. Access to water bodies is partially or fully restricted. Please follow information from local authorities and exercise caution.
The first days of March sometimes bring winter weather and many reservoirs are still under thick ice. During this transitional period, there is no need to immediately say goodbye to winter gear and equipment. Dress warmly, as the weather can be cold. With the arrival of spring, the ice begins to melt, which increases the risks for fishermen. During these uncertain times, it is important to keep an eye on the weather forecast. If you need help, the Telegram Weather Bot is at your service. This modern service will help you prepare for fishing in early spring.
