Roach in spring
The roach, already leading an active lifestyle throughout the year, becomes active at the very beginning of March, when the ice begins to melt. With food, of course, during this period things are not very good, but when the first streams flow, they will bring enough food in their waters. These are earthworms, larvae, insect corpses and grass seeds.
The roach's need for protein at this time is very high. Being exhausted over the winter, and preparing for spawning, which will begin at the end of May, she is glad for any opportunity to profit from food of animal origin.
Based on this need, fishermen build fishing tactics during this period. In accordance with it, both bait and groundbait for roaches in the spring should contain protein. By the way, this postulate applies to most fish.

You can do it differently.

# # Setting up the manager and its capabilities
The installed application launches by default when the operating system starts. Also, the default setting provides for placing the manager icon in the system tray, from where it can be called up to make settings and view work history. In principle, the program’s interface is simple and is designed for a user with basic computer skills:
The browser manager monitors changes to the home page (some programs are very fond of doing this), search engine settings, attempts to replace the web browser shortcut with the launching icon of another program (for example, a malicious agent that opens its own application under the guise of the user’s browser and displays some advertising materials or pages from porn sites). Changes to the hosts IP address resolution file are also monitored. Thus, redirection to illegal resources masquerading as “correct” sites is blocked.
