Float fishing
Spearfishing is one of the most popular and accessible styles of fishing, ideal for beginners. It involves fishing from a fixed position, regularly baiting a specific area to attract white fish such as roach, bream or carp. Pole fishing is done with a simple pole (no reel) and a simple line consisting of line, plug, sinker and hook. A light float is often used to detect bites. This technique requires patience and precision.
Float-casting (Bolognese or English-style) is a variant that allows you to fish medium to long distances, and requires the use of a casting rod and reel. This technique is used for whitefish, trout and certain predators. The float serves as a touch indicator, and the technique produces fine, natural presentations.
Lure fishing
Lure fishing is dynamic and focused on predators such as pike, zander and perch. It uses artificial lures (swimfish, soft lures, spinners) that imitate natural prey. This technique can be adapted to a variety of conditions, from moderate currents to congested areas, and is practised all year round.
Fly fishing
Fly fishing is a fishing method that uses an artificial fly, a light lure imitating an insect, to attract fish. It is mainly practiced in freshwater, often targeting salmonids (trout, grayling, salmon), but also extends to other species. The angler casts the fly with a special rod and a line called a "silk", which, thanks to its weight, enables the lure to be projected to the desired distance.
Fishing with a dead hand
Deadbaiting involves using a dead fish mounted on an articulated system that simulates a prey in distress. This is a very attractive method for predators in deep or calm waters.
Feeder fishing
Feeder fishing is a localized baiting technique using a cage of bait (feeder) to attract bottom-feeding fish such as carp, bream or barbel. The angler observes the movements of the sensitive tip to detect bites. This method is precise and highly effective.
Tackle fishing
Fishing with a toc is more specialized, especially for trout, and consists in moving a natural bait (worms, insects) along the current following the water veins, with a lead sinker adapted for a natural presentation.
Fishing with lead sinkers or wedges
Finally, lead fishing (with a terminal sinker) and carp fishing with specific fixtures are also widespread, allowing you to target various species by adapting distances and baits.
The choice of technique depends on the fish sought, the environment (river, pond, lake), the conditions and the equipment available, while respecting regulations and the environment. These techniques offer a wide range of approaches for enjoying freshwater fishing to the full.
