April marks the transition from cold winter to warmer spring and attracts many species of fish from their winter hiding places. April is an exciting time for anglers as fish activity increases and different species begin to move and feed. Here we take a look at some of the most popular fish species that often await anglers in April:
Pike (Esox)
The Pike is one of the most sought after fish species for anglers in April. These predatory fish are hungry after winter and actively looking for prey. They prefer shallow, warm waters and can often be found near structure such as underwater obstacles or riparian vegetation. Anglers like to use lures such as wobblers, jerkbaits or spinners to catch pike in April.
Trout (Salmo trutta)
The Trout is another popular fish species that anglers often target in April. Many species of trout begin spawning in spring, which makes them particularly active. Trout are often found in flowing water such as streams and rivers, where they search for food and suitable spawning grounds. Anglers often use bait such as flies, worms or spinners to attract trout in April.
Zander (Sander lucioperca)
The Pike-Perch, also known as walleye bass, is a popular predatory fish that is often caught in April. This species of fish prefers cooler temperatures and is therefore active in spring. Walleye can be found in rivers, lakes and canals where they search for prey such as fish and crabs. Anglers like to use lures such as shads, twisters or jigs to catch walleye in April.
Carp (Cyprinus carpio)
The carp is a robust species of fish that is also commonly caught in April. These coarse fish are common in many bodies of water and can often be found in shallow areas near the shore. In spring, carp are looking for food and can respond to a variety of baits such as boilies, corn or maggots. Patience and perseverance are often required when carp fishing in April.
Perch (Perca fluviatilis)
The Perch, also known as perch, is another popular fish species for anglers in April. These predatory fish are found in many bodies of water and can often be found in shallow, rocky areas where they search for prey. Bass are known to bite on various baits such as worms, spinners, jigs and crankbaits, making them a popular target for anglers.
April offers a plethora of opportunities for anglers to catch different species of fish and enjoy the beauty of nature. No matter what type of fish you choose, remember to follow local fishing regulations and treat the fish with respect. Fishing is not just a sport, but also an opportunity to experience and appreciate nature.
