【芝加哥侨学网报道】2018年伊州春季鳟鱼渔季(Spring Trout Season),4月7日(本周六)开放。这是钓鱼爱好者的福音,也是大地回春之际户外活动的上选,家长们可带着小朋友去享受钓鱼的乐趣,呼吸大自然新鲜空气,享受周末好时光,还能带回新鲜美味。
据伊利诺伊州自然资源部(IDNR)消息,今年春季共在伊州54个自然保护区的湖泊及溪流放养了8万条人工饲养的鳟鱼。伊州鳟鱼放养计划的经费,直接来自居民购买钓鱼证收入,这是政府公众服务收费取之于民,用之于民的典范。

春钓鳟鱼,体验早春户外乐趣
每年鳟鱼季,都是漫长冬季后享受户外乐趣的开始
距芝加哥中国城比较近的鳟鱼放养湖,包括位于O’Hare机场附近的Axehead Lake,Belleau Lake,西南郊的马尾湖(Horsetail Lake)、赛格采石场湖(Sag Quarry East)。芝加哥西郊、北郊放养鳟鱼的湖泊,则包括西郊黑井森林公园的银湖(Sliver Lake),南郊的狼湖(Wolf Lake),北郊的香蕉湖(Banana Lake)、沙湖(Sand Lake)等。。
伊州自然资源部表示,享受大自然以及户外生活的乐趣是伊州居民周末休闲的重要选择之一,我们鼓励家长们带着孩子去体验钓鱼的精彩与刺激。据钓鱼爱好者透露,
每年春秋两季IDNR的放养鳟鱼计划(Stock Trout Program)中,以春季放养的鳟鱼数量最多,鱼的大小以1磅上下的居多。一般而言,钓鳟鱼计划公众开放日之后的一个星期左右,芝加哥附近几个放养鳟鱼的湖泊就基本上被全部钓光。对钓鳟鱼感兴趣的朋友,建议从速行动。
对于钓鱼初学者而言,钓鳟鱼最实用的办法就是用真饵:钩挂活小鱼,带浮标,甩到离岸边5-6尺处即可,然后「稳坐钓鱼台」,静候鳟鱼上钩。鳟鱼眼力贼好,所以忌讳用粗线,无色透明的6磅塑胶线配细竿是上选。

用「鳟鱼泥」(Power Bait)沉底,也是经典的钓法。这种钓法不用浮标,鳟鱼泥搓成小球,将锚钩埋进去捏紧,扔到远处沉底,稍微收紧一点鱼线,静等鳟鱼上钩。鱼线如果突然松弛,或者绷紧,就证明鱼上钩。如下为沉底钓法图解。

优点:非常灵敏,缺点:太复杂
鳟鱼沉底钓法之简约派图解
此法简单,用#12或#14号小锚钩,锚钩以上一尺半左右夹一个铅坠。用鳟鱼泥(powerbait)裹住锚钩,捏紧成球状,确保球状鳟鱼泥在入水后能漂浮不下沉即可。扔出去后沉底,稍微收紧一点线即可。
如果用路亚钓法,小尺寸的旋转亮片、spoon, kastmaster 都是经典选择。颜色以白色、金黄色为上选
人工养殖的鳟鱼,在养殖池会形成贴近水面巡回游动的习惯,放养到自然湖泊后仍然会保持这个习惯,在一天中光线较弱的早晚,这种习性尤其明显。其他光线强的时间段,鳟鱼一般都在深水区域。湖泊有深水坑的边缘地带,湖岸线转弯地带都是深水状态下鳟鱼喜欢聚集的地方。
有关钓鱼技巧的详情,可上《芝加哥侨学网》(www.chineseofchicago.com)“鱼美人”钓鱼论坛上了解更多。
在伊利诺伊公共水域钓鱼,要购买伊州钓鱼执照(IL Fishing License),普通伊州居民为一年15元,老年人则半价。每年3月31日都是钓鱼执照过期日期,需要及时购买新年度的执照。
钓鳟鱼除了要购买伊州钓鱼执照外,还需要额外购买$6.5元的鳟鱼许可(Inland Trout Stamp),有了鳟鱼许可,今年春秋两季都可以合法钓鳟鱼。残障人士、退伍军人,以及16岁以下的儿童青少年免费。购买相关渔证,可直接到IDNR网站(www.ifishillinois.org),或者到本地渔具店。
此外,钓鱼请注意相关法规,就鳟鱼而言,每人每天限五条,超标留鱼会面临罚款。外出钓鱼请注意环境清洁,回收垃圾。 (芝加哥侨学网 )
