Fish are two meters away — but they aren't biting. The secret to catching tench in June
In June, 95% of fishermen leave their overgrown ponds empty-handed, cursing the heat, pressure, and store-bought bait. They have no idea that just a stone's throw away, in the dense underwater jungle, lurks a golden hermit with ruby eyes. Tench. In this video, we'll take a detailed look at the hidden life of this incredibly cunning and cautious fish. You'll learn why tench are called "underwater medicine" and how their mucus saves pike and perch from death. We'll reveal the secret of the "bubble trail," explain why the crunch of a branch on the shore causes this fish to fall into a coma for several hours, and why in summer, tench disdains worms, preferring to collect microscopic bugs from under water lily pads. And most importantly, we'll tell you how to use a forgotten old-fashioned secret (sour cottage cheese with soil from a molehill) and how to withstand that 15-minute bite that drives even the most calm anglers crazy. 👇 Friends, a quick message to you: Creating such detailed documentary videos is incredibly hard and painstaking work. Collecting truly reliable biological information, writing the right script, and painstaking editing takes dozens of hours of my time. I put all my energy and soul into these videos so that you receive deep, high-quality content, rather than hearing the same old fishing fads over and over again. If you appreciate this serious approach to nature, please support the video with a like, leave a comment, and subscribe to the channel. For you, it's only a few seconds, but for me, it's a huge motivation to keep working and making new episodes! 📚 List of sources used in the preparation of the video: L. P. Sabaneev - "Fish of Russia. Life and Fishing of Our Freshwater Fish" (classic works, chapter on tench). Journal "Problems of Ichthyology" - scientific publications on the biochemical composition and bactericidal properties of mucus (mucin) of carp fish. "Ecology of Freshwater Fish" (edited by G. V. Nikolsky) - sections on the territorial behavior and diurnal migrations of tapeworms. Transactions of the All-Russian Research Institute of Freshwater Fisheries (VNIIPRKh) - studies of the tench food supply in summer (zooplankton and benthos). Hydrobiological essays on the gas regime of shallow, overgrown reservoirs (methane release during bottom feeding). Notes and practical diaries of old-school sport fishermen on creating artificial "windows" in vegetation. Enjoy! Learn to read the water, respect the absolute silence of wild ponds, and see you soon fishing! 🎣 #tench #fishing #fishofmydreams #ichthyology #tenchcatching #summerfishing #float #documentaryvideo #fishingsecrets
