At present there are not many rivers left, where you can enjoy excellent fishing and catch large trophies. The violent activity of man greatly affected the state of water bodies. Reduced species composition of fish, and its size is not so often pleased fishermen. But there are still places where you can enjoy active rest with a fishing rod. A vivid example is fishing on the Volkhov.
Description of the Volkhov River
The Volkhov River is located in the north-western part of Russia. Its source is Lake Ilmen. The main tributaries are Pchezha, Oskuya. Having traveled a length of 224 kilometers, the waters of the Volkhov River flow into the famous Ladoga Lake. This relatively small river can be called unique. Its waters can change the direction of the current. How can this be? The thing is that the difference in altitude between the source and the mouth of the river is not too great, and when water drops, the water turns around. So Volkhov changes the direction of his current. On the bank of this river are the cities of Novgorod, Novaya Ladoga, Kirishi. Navigation is very developed here. The width of the river in the area of Novgorod is about 220 meters. Of course, fishing on the Volkhov deserves special attention. The river has long been famous for its fishing routes. By the way, fish can be successfully caught almost everywhere. On the hook come pike, asp, pike perch, burbot, catfish, perch, gulber, bream, whitefish, bluefish, cheshon, bleak and ruff. So no one will be left without a catch.
Fishing on the Volkhov from the shore to the bottom tackle
The bait in the waters of the Volkhov is successfully caught by bream, Chekhon, Yazya, duster and, of course, catfish. The best places for fishing are in the mouth of Kava, Pchevzha and Oskuya. A bunch of worms is used as bait. Do not forget about the lure. It is most effective to catch fish from the shore at the feeder. There are a lot of bream and scum. But fishing on the Volkhov is not famous for these species. Lovers of fishing go here for soms. The average size of fish caught is 10-15 kg. A larger catfish can be caught at night on the reaches and deep pits by a bullet and a "quake". But everything here depends on experience and luck.
Fishing for spinning on the Volkhov River
The greatest interest among fishermen is catching on spinning. By the way, the presence of a large number of predators in these places is really impressive. Fishing on the Volkhov is famous for its catches of pike, zander, asp and perch. Well, if the spoon catches fire, then we can assume that the time is spent knowingly. You can catch on baits both from the shore and from the boat. It is very effective to fish on the path. During the day, small catfish and pike weighing up to 15 kg can be caught. And on the spillways there is even an eel. In many places, along the whole length of the river, on the reaches, in a large number there is a pike perch. He willingly goes for both wobblers and silicone baits. This predator comes into the waters of the river from Lake Ilmen, in which pike and asp are also found. But it's better to fish at Volkhov itself and its tributaries. You can find the zherecha in the estuaries of Oskuy, Kava, Kolpinki, Keresti and Pchevzha. Catch it on spinning spoon-bait and vibrotail. Reacts asp and the average wobblers. In general, it can be argued that throughout the river you can find a large number of very catchy places. So without, albeit not very large, but still a trophy, there will be no one left.
