The unusual heat of late autumn makes the trout of Veronello Lake, a structure in the province of Verona near Lake Garda, very apathetic and static. Attempting to seduce and capture them will be the arduous task of the experts of the Team Maver who will engage in a mixed session of Lake Trout and Trout Area.
The lake that hosts the session is a privately managed structure, whose objective is to allow patrons a fishing quality rather than quantity, guaranteed by the considerable size of the specimens of the rich fauna that populates its waters. Trout from half a kilograms up to 4 kilograms, black bass, freshwater bass, pike, carp and even some sturgeon.
Michele Mantovanelli, winner, together with his team "Garisti Club Vicenza", of the last Italian championship of trout lake teams.
For the Trout Area technique, the brand new Butterfly Superlight rod, made in Recast, takes to the field: a rod available in 4 models with lengths ranging from 5'9" to 7'4". The fishing model is a 7'2" with 0.8 - 4 grams action, an incredibly sensitive rod, perfect for the animation of small spoons and to react immediately even to the most delicate touches.
Handmade ties, fantastic fluorescent green finishes, slim handle for a comfortable grip and ring suitable for the use of the braid, such as the Dual Bands Braid that has spooled the Maver expert.
A sinking 8-piece braid with incredible held to the knots and abrasion, chosen in a small diameter, the 0.03 just to best meet the needs of this technique of light spinning fishing for catching trout in lake.
Although this technique of Japanese origin seems very promising on the waters of Veronello Lake by bringing home the first catches, the experience of the Italian champion does not delay in doubling the result of the catches of spinning fishing.
In hand a Twistr TRL fishing rod, a medium range rod with excellent value for money, a robust tool and sensitive at the same time, available in a wide range of 7 models to adapt perfectly to the use of both slides and bombs for fishing at a longer distance. The action chosen by Michele Mantovanelli is the 5 action: a 12-20 grams rod perfect for distance fishing with the 20 grams trout float and G2 sinking.
The one carried out is essentially a float fishery, as the apathetic fish seem to be stationed in the very first bands of water. To carry out this type of fishing, excellent rig with a length of about 2.20 meters are indispensable, made with SRL0.15 mm, a top quality Japanese fluorocarbon.
As a trigger, in situations of this kind, the double meal worm is deadly, a trigger of generous size but right in places where the trout reach even 4 kilograms in weight.
Precisely because the trout are very apathetic despite the late season, the work of the fisherman is mainly a job of rod rather than reel, in fact the animation of the trigger has a crucial role to push the trout to bother to chase the bait and attack it. On hooks number 6 of the KT 1 series, therefore, the full-bodied trigger is prepared: insert the two meal worms, to maximize their rotation, giving the trigger an L shape.
Towards the end of the session, the Trout Area, which does not seem to be giving the expected results, is abandoned and the brand new Laser Trout is taken out into the field to try to float fishing with a slide. A rod, this, made of precious carbon and available in 7 actions with both Maver and bare mounting for a more personalized mounting in order to fit perfectly to the needs of each individual fisherman.
Experience, luck, quality tools and correct small parts ... a mix of ingredients that decrees the success of a session with mixed technique of trout fishing in lake.
