Fishing on the Angara. Krasnoyarsk region, Angara river, fishing: reviews

The Krasnoyarsk Territory is considered unique due to its location simultaneously in three climatic zones. In the area there are reservoirs that are characteristic of the tundra, taiga and even for the steppe. This northern edge with a particularly fascinating winter fishing for true connoisseurs is a real find.

Fishing

The Krasnoyarsk Territory is characterized by a fairly long period of freeze-up on its mountainous, taiga and even tundra rivers. It is here that the cleanest large lakes Taimyr, Khantayka and Dupkun are also located.

One of the most full-flowing Russian rivers, the Yenisei, flows along the territory of the Krasnoyarsk Territory. Its tributaries are a paradise for anglers, as they contain such valuable fish as grayling or sturgeon, taimen or sterlet, pike or trout, etc.

Most of the region's territory has not been affected by industry. That is why hunting and fishing are so popular here. And this is not surprising, because the region is considered one of the cleanest in terms of ecology.

Paid fishing is very popular in the Krasnoyarsk Territory. The specialized bases built on the banks of the Yenisei offer all the conditions for catching a taimen, a representative of the salmon family. Fishermen, who had occasion to catch catch trophy, believe that his fishing with spinning gear is comparable to hunting for a large forest beast.

Angara River

The map of the region shows that it is the only tributary of the Yenisei, which flows from Baikal. It flows through the Irkutsk and Krasnoyarsk regions. Fishing on the Angara is an unforgettable adventure for every lover of "quiet hunting". Almost immediately after the opening of the dam at the Irkutsk hydroelectric power station, many underwater inhabitants left these places. Apparently, they have not been able to adapt to the new conditions in the environment. However, grayling, which is considered a "native" of these places, still remained. Moreover, the number of this fish is increasing every year, which is very encouraging for its fans.

Old-timers say that, having some skill, it is easy to get a very good catch. Apparently, therefore, fishing on the Angara, especially at its sources, is so popular. Many come here to catch first the taimen.

Those who are going to catch here, first of all are interested: what kind of fish is found in the Angara? Surprisingly, the list of underwater inhabitants of the tributaries of this river is quite extensive. Angara fish is quite numerous: it is pike, taimen or grayling, whitefish or lentok, catfish, and also valek and davatchan. The fact that perch, carp, bream, burbot, carp, yaza, ruff, carp, soroga can be caught almost everywhere, and there is no need to speak.

As for the famous Baikal omul, it is rare in the Angara.

Tooling

Experienced anglers choose what to catch. This can be a horse tackle, as well as jigs or fly fishing. A good catch is obtained with the use of spinning or float equipment. It all depends on the season and the bottom relief.

Fishing on the Angara involves the use of almost all existing baits, baits and baits (blesnets, wobblers and poppers, fly, mormyshka, jig, devil, etc.).

Grayling

As for this fish, then in the waters of this river it spawns, and in two receptions. First, there is a small grayling for spawning. It spawns, as a rule, in brooks and small rivers. Usually his course lasts no more than two weeks. Such grayling by local fishermen is called "river", it has a white color and a length of about thirty-five centimeters, and sometimes more. A month and a half after the spawning of this species begins spawning of large specimens, which are called "morsovikami."

Usually in the lower reaches of the Angara and even closer to Irkutsk smaller specimens are caught in comparison with those that are closer to Baikal. Few people know that this is a sedentary fish. It never migrates downstream after spawning, so fishing on the Angara is conducted year-round, especially in the ice-free rivulets near Lake Baikal. Fish goes to the shallows to play not only in June and July, but also in December, becoming the desired prey for fans.

Fishing for lenka

In the second half of the first summer month, this fish appears in shallow water. And then she goes to spawn in the rivers. Fishing on the Angara on lenok, especially on the upper reaches, begins immediately with the end of spring. The females of this fish are larger than males. After spawning, the active biting of lenok usually begins, but then it ceases. The zhor resumes only after a month and a half, although the pre-spawning time is more active, and the fish is larger.

On the taimen

He is called the master of this river. Taimen hibernates on the Angara much lower than lenok. His spawning occurs at the beginning of the first month of summer. He moves to the place of spawning very persistently, without stopping even before the chalk. Sometimes on the shallows fishermen watch peeps from the water passing through the taiga.

In the network and seines, this river giant begins to come across in the spring. However, only the field of spawning can be fished for spinning or fishing. The nearer the autumn, the more the biting becomes more active.

Fishing on the Angara on taimen is best, judging by the reviews, it is carried out on live bait and on various artificial baits. In the summer months, this fish prefers to keep in the holes, but approximately by the end of August - beginning of September it swims into the channels, coming close to the shore.

How to catch the "master of the Angara"

The best time for an active bait taimen, as well as for another desired catch of anglers, lenka, is a morning dawn and time until ten in the morning, and also in the evenings, before sunset. On cloudy days and in a drizzling rain, and also when it's snowing in autumn, the taimen can be caught throughout the daylight, while lenok, judging by the responses, is often caught on the river and at night.

When catching, you need to do the maximum long casts, and slightly above the boat, so that the bait reaches the bottom directly in front of the vessel. After lowering the load, immediately twist the cord.

Features

The most interesting and difficult at the same time, according to experienced hunters, is fishing on the Angara with a shiny. Its feature is to let the bait go to the bottom, then gently twirling the line. To the lure attracted predatory prey by its game, it must turn on the carbine under water pressure. As evidenced by the reviews, the fisherman will need a decent supply of lures.

Usually the first bite of a taimen or lenka is quite weak, but when they take a nozzle, they shake the rod with such force that the cord "rings" like a string. The fish must be brought to the boat. It's quite easy to do this. The responsible moment comes when mining has to be raised. It is necessary to bring the fish to the boat, then to hit the hook under the belly at the very base of the tail, thus paralyzing it.

Fishing in the Angara in winter is conducted in the upper reaches of this river. They almost never freeze. Catching is carried out on an artificial fly like a "bokoplav", for the manufacture of which comes the hook number 4, wrapped in a red or yellow garusom.
