A food chain is a relationship in which the organisms of the subsequent link eat the organisms of the previous one. In a natural ecosystem, undisturbed by humans, each organism is an important link in the food chain of many other organisms. The exclusion of at least one link causes serious disturbances in the balance of the ecosystem and in the food chain, that is, in a group of organisms dependent on each other. For example, removing pike from a lake causes an excessive increase in bream, cod and crucian carp, which then become smaller and become sick en masse.
pH is an indicator of the acidity or alkalinity of water (liquid). This characteristic of water is the main one that influences the life of fish in a given water area, as well as the development of animals and plants.

Phenol is a substance that is widely used in the chemical industry. It has a bad reputation because, when it enters with wastewater, it often causes mass death of river fish.
Phenology (phenologist's calendar) is a science that studies the seasonal development of the nature of plants and animals (phyto-phenology and zoophenology), due to the change of seasons and changes in climatic conditions. A phenologist's calendar has been developed for fishermen, taking into account the developmental phases of river plants and fish behavior, primarily spawning. Plant development is mainly stimulated by air temperature and amount of water, and fish behavior is mainly stimulated by temperature and water level.
Fermentation is the process of anaerobic enzymatic transformations of chemicals. For a fisherman, this is of great importance: fermented bait is not suitable for use; leaving a large amount of poorly prepared bait in the water causes it to ferment, which scares off the fish and poisons the water. Potatoes and pasta are the most susceptible to fermentation.

Scales are an element of fish skin that covers its outside; found in most fish. Most often it plays a protective role for the skin. In the course of evolution, fish have adapted their scales to their way of life - for example, catfish have no scales at all, and tench have small scales deeply hidden in the skin.
Eutrophication is a process of biological productivity of water basins caused by nutrients that accelerate the development of aquatic plants. As a result of their rapid development, life in reservoirs dies, elements enter the water, the bottom becomes muddy and often covered with peat. This is a long process and it is very difficult to repair the damage. The most common elements are agricultural fertilizers and improper treatment of municipal wastewater.
Ecology is a science that studies the interdependence, interrelation and interaction of living organisms (with each other and with the environment).
An ecosystem is a selected fragment of nature that functions as a single whole, and the living organisms of fauna and flora located in it and their biotope are closely related to each other.
Eccentric sinker - a sinker with an asymmetrical center of gravity; it is hooked in front of the bait, and thanks to this, twisting of the fishing line is eliminated while retrieving the bait.
Elodea is a group of perennial aquatic herbs; in some species only flowers are visible. This group includes, in particular, Canadian elodea and submerged hornwort.
An endemic species is a living organism that has a small, relatively limited range. This is due to the evolution of an organism that is significantly isolated from other biotypes, or with its high specialization. This species is found only in this specific place in order to survive.
Epilimnion is the top layer of water in a lake. In summer, the layer into which light penetrates more is warm and rich in oxygen. The division of the water column into thermal layers is called thermal stratification.
Erosion is the washing away and carrying away of soil near the shore into a river or lake. As a result of erosion, landslides form, high banks disappear, fragments of soil and rocks fall into the water and breaks form on the asphalt surface of roads. Hilly and mountainous areas devoid of forests are most susceptible to erosion. River banks are subject to excessive and catastrophic erosion as a result of cutting down riverine trees.
Fishing ethics is a set of norms, usually called “fair play,” that fishermen observe voluntarily. They also concern the handling of live fish. These rules develop, disappear and new ones appear related to the development of fishing and fishing culture. It happens that a fisherman lives in accordance with the rules, but violates ethics when fishing.
Ethology is the science that studies animal behavior.
Ephemerids are a group of insects whose adults live from several hours to several days without taking food during this time. This is egg laying time. A species known to fishermen is the mayfly.

Sinker Part of the equipment responsible for loading the tackle, that is, feeding the nozzle to a given depth. They differ in purpose, shape and weight. Sinkers and weights are cast from lead.
Zherlitsa Live bait tackle for catching pike, pike perch, burbot, perch. For summer fishing - a slingshot (flyer) or mugs, for winter fishing - a bet (flags). It is a (flyer, circle, reel) with a wound fishing line, a sinker, a leash if necessary, a tee or a rig with attached live bait. The principle of operation is that the bait is attached to a bush on the shore, on the water (circles) or on the ice above the hole (bet), live bait is attached to the hook and lowered into the water. Usually the fishing rods are set up at night and checked in the morning, although each angler has his own fishing technique. After the bite, they wait until the fish takes the bait well, hook it and land it.
Live bait A small fish placed on a hook as live bait for catching predatory fish: pike, perch, pike perch, burbot and others. They fish with live bait using hooks, mugs, girders, and live bait donks.
Yawner A yawner is a device with the help of which the mouth of a caught predatory fish opens to remove the hook. Made from thick steel wire.
Nod A nod (guard) is an element, mainly of winter reelless fishing tackle, which is a flexible whip at the end of a winter fishing rod (balalaika). A fishing line is passed through the holes in the body of the nod and by its movement (bending) the angler can determine the moment the fish bites (swallowing the jig). The best nods are made of cold-rolled steel or wire, and many homemade options for guards are made of plastic and wire. For better visibility, the nods are painted alternately with bright red and white paint.
Feeders A feeder is a device for throwing bait to the desired point and creating a “feeding table” for effective fishing. Feeders can be open, closed, mesh, or frame. They act as a sinker in gear (donka, feeder) for bottom fishing.
Water Lily The water lily is an aquatic plant with long roots, large leaves that float on the water, similar in appearance to a large green heart, and a large yellow or white flower. The water lily is also called the water lily.
Ice drill A fishing ice drill is a special tool that fishermen use to drill holes in the ice during winter fishing. By design, the ice auger consists of a rotary shaft, an auger and knives. How does it work? With a rotational translational movement around its axis, it “bites” into the ice, forming a cylindrical hole (hole) of a certain diameter (from 70 to 250 mm) with a maximum depth of immersion in the ice of up to 1-1.5 meters. There are manual, electric and motorized ice augers.
line (lines): readprilunk Low water Low water is a long seasonal stand in a river with low water levels. It is believed that during low water the fish bite and catch better than in high water.
Mormysh Mormysh or amphipod is a dark yellow aquatic crustacean. Lives in reservoirs with clean, cold water. Mormysh is obtained by dipping a bundle of hay or straw sprinkled with flour into water for 1-2 hours. They take out and collect crustaceans.
Mormyshka An artificial bait consisting of a metal body of various shapes into which a hook is soldered. There are models with a plastic body. The weight of the jig ranges from 0.1 to 1.5 g. Popular jigs are “pellet”, “drop”, “devil”, “boat”, “uralochka”, “witch”, “goat”.

Fly Artificial bait is an imitation of an insect on a hook in all stages of its development (larva, pupa, butterfly) using thread and pieces of fur, wool, feathers, and a variety of synthetic materials. Flies are used primarily for fly fishing. Flies can be wet, dry, nymphs, wingless, single-winged, etc.
Fly A fly is an insect, a favorite bait for bleaks and other fish feeding from the surface of the water. The flies are first caught and placed in a breathable container or box. Place them on the hook, tearing off their wings, 1-2 pieces at a time.
Fly fishing Special equipment for catching fish from the surface of the water, consisting of a rod, reel, cord and “fly” (hook - an imitation of an insect).
Maggot White, often with a yellowish tint, larva of a blue blowfly. The most popular attachment for catching carp fish and predators. The larva holds well on the hook and remains mobile in the water for a long time.
Landing net Landing net (landing net) is a fishing device for extracting large fish from the water. It consists of a structure with a long handle (from 1 to 5 meters) and a ring (triangle) with a diameter of 0.5 cm to 1.0 m, with a bag-like, fine-mesh mesh stretched over it. How to use a landing net - lower it into the water, bring the caught fish into it and remove it from the water.
Floodplain A floodplain is a flooded part of the coastal zone of a reservoir during floods and floods. Floodplains can be river or lake, usually formed in the spring or after long and heavy rains.
Float A float is the most important element of equipment; it signals when a fish is biting. Floats are made of lightweight, water-repellent materials (foam, bird feather, balsa wood, plastic, etc.). When equipping a fishing rod, the float is attached to the fishing line. There are many types of floats for catching different types of fish. Bleak floats are the lightest, do not exceed 0.5-1.0 g. Prilunik Prilunik is a tray cut out with an ice pick and going obliquely into a hole. It is specially cut down by winter roads to pull large fish onto the ice.
Riccia
Riccia floating is an aquatic plant of standing reservoirs. It floats near the surface of the coastal zone, has no leaves or roots, and is a plant “tangle” of green flyer stems intertwined. It grows quickly, serves as a spawning ground for some species of fish and a refuge for hatched fry.
Fishing slingshot The fishing slingshot is a classic slingshot for target shooting and is designed for throwing bait to a fishing spot over long distances. Among the design features it is distinguished by soft, elastic rubber and a “glass” for placing a bait ball. You can buy a slingshot at any fishing store or make it yourself.
Fishing hook A fishing hook is an indispensable element of fishing tackle, which is a metal, usually made of hardened wire, L-shaped hook with a barb, onto which the fish directly clings after hooking. Hooks come in various types and sizes.
Fishing line One of the main elements of equipment. In the explanatory dictionary, fishing line is a long, strong thread, one end of which is tied to a fishing rod, and a fishing hook is tied to the other. Modern fishing line is a monofilament or braided line made of high-strength materials. The main characteristic is tensile strength; the stronger it is, the greater the weight of the caught fish. Classification by material, thickness and strength.
Fishing cage The cage is designed to keep caught fish alive in the water. Cages are made from stainless wire woven into a mesh, or from nylon and other durable artificial threads. They differ in single-section and multi-section, as well as in size, length, and purpose. The fish in the cage are in the reservoir and remain alive for a long time.
trap for catching predatory fish from under the ice. It is located above the hole and is equipped with a signaling flag, which, in the event of an attack by a predator, straightens and is visible to the fisherman from afar. A live bait is attached to the stake hook. They mainly catch pike perch and burbot.
Oxbow Oxbow is a section of an old river bed that has turned into a body of standing water. Rivers are known to “wind” and rarely flow straight. Sometimes, during high water, between the bends (at the base of the “loop”) the current washes out the channel and water begins to flow along it, forming a new channel. The entrance and exit to the old channel are gradually covered with sand and silt. This is how old women appear. They are oblong and elongated in shape. Or in the form of a lake, when the area (floodplain) between the old and new channels is flooded. Such lakes are called floodplain lakes.
Twister A silicone artificial bait with a generally ribbed body and a curved “tail” in the shape of a question mark. Used for catching predators: perch, pike, pike perch, etc. on an offset hook or jig head. When retrieving, the tail of the twister vibrates and “plays,” provoking a bite.
Bleak Bleak , bleak, verkhovodka, shakleya, selyava, mulyashka, sintya, etc. - a small, nimble, silver fish of the carp family, inhabiting almost all rivers of the central zone.
Fishing cracker
Firecracker, cotton, grabber, umbrella, spider - fishing tackle designed for catching fish from under the ice. The basic principle of fishing is a lift, a folding “spider”. The clapper, when folded, is lowered into the hole and when it hits the bottom, it opens; then, when raised, the cross-shaped guides collapse and, together with the fish that has fallen into the bag from the fishing line, rises through the hole to the surface.
Worm Worm is an animal bait, the most common and popular among fishermen. For fishing, they usually use dung, earthworms, and earthworms (crawlers). An attractive and long-lived bait for catching most fish in our reservoirs. Worms are obtained from the ground, soil, manure, rotten leaves, collected under stones, stumps, stored in jars with soil and holes for air.
Extractor A special tool for removing a hook from the mouth of a predatory or white fish if it has “swallowed” the hook. The extractor allows you to remove the hook without damaging the fish.
Tip Tip (foreign term) - the tip of the form, the thin tip.
