Anyone who has ever gone to a pond with a fishing rod and was able to enjoy the incomparable joy of pulling out the first fish in his life will never forget this bright moment. Anyone who loves spearfishing should know where in a particular region you can hope for a rich catch.
Good nibble
There are plenty of fish in the Volgograd region. On the territory of this region there are many reservoirs: there are about two hundred rivers alone. The largest of them are Volga and Don. Akhtuba is especially catchy - the left tributary of the "most Russian" river. Good results are also brought by
fishing on Khopre. The Volgograd region is literally dotted with rivers. There are many paid bases where guaranteed good fishing takes place.
However, fish biting in the Volgograd region at the confluence of large and small rivers is admired even by experienced professionals. Ten-kilogram zander, carp, reaching a weight of up to twenty kg, catfish, growing to a weight slightly less than a centner - all this is far from rare.
In general, the ichthyofauna of the area is quite diverse. And at the beginning of spring, it is also replenished due to spawning migrations. For example, in April, fishing in the Volgograd region is rich in Caspian herring, which is produced in large quantities and for a variety of gear.
Fishing on the Volga
According to many, the very best fishing in the Volgograd region takes place on it. In summer and autumn, catching catfish, bream, common carp, perch, etc. is the most promising here. In winter and spring, a pike or a bream is good at biting. Such fish as roach are excellently caught all year round.
As for the forecast about what will be the biting of fish in the Volgograd region, especially on this river, then, based on experience based on long-term observations of avid fishermen, it is possible to fairly accurately predict what the probability of a good catch by months is.
Those who send fishing to the Volga need to first correctly determine not only the choice of gear, but also their preferred prey. The classic gum-donka is very popular in these places.
What can be caught
Fishing on the Volga leaves no one indifferent. This fish is caught by trolling or using spinning fishing. Rifts and shallows are a real paradise for fans of fly fishing. Fishing is good in the Volgograd region and in the floodplain of the Volga-Akhtuba. Here you can catch a large asp, but the main object of fishing is a large bream, roach, crucian carp and scavengers.
Fans of predatory prey prey on perch or pike. Moreover, the lower you go down Akhtuba, the more chances to take trophy specimens, the better the bite of the fish. In the Volgograd region in the middle of summer in these places it is very hot, but this does not affect the catch in any way.
Biting fish by season
Depending on the type of catch you want, fans of spearfishing should also choose the time for fishing. For example, roaches can be sent from the beginning of February until the fifteenth of November. Carp bites well from May to October. The peak of pike activity occurs from February to April, and then, after a short break, from August to early December.
Catfish take bait well in the summer, and pike perch in the winter, spring and autumn. In general, fish biting in the Volgograd region, as in many other regions of the country, primarily depends on the temperature regime. And also from the features of a particular reservoir. It depends on how successful fishing will be.
On the Don
The Volgograd region is literally dotted with rivers. However, the Don and Volga, the largest of them, in terms of fishing, not only give great pleasure, but also make it possible to return home with excellent catch.
These rivers are attractive for their wide variety of underwater inhabitants. In a water artery of a region such as Don, there are about ninety different species. Nibble here is good news. If you are lucky, you can catch not only zander, carp, crucian carp, bream, etc., but also burbot, catfish, carp, and even eel in the Don River . The best time for fishing on it is spring and autumn. The ice drift begins with the thaw, which lasts from March until May. In spring and autumn, bulls are a common catch for fishermen heading for the Don, the nibble of which depends on the water level in the river.
In March, the float fishing season begins on the river. This is explained by the fact that the prey that lives in it rushes up - to those places where it lives in the summer. This rise takes place in two stages. Initially, Don is freed from ice: at this time, the water in it is especially clear. This period lasts only two or three days, during which a very active bite is observed, and mainly at medium depths. Then the clarification of water begins: the fish slowly begins to swim out, gathering in schools. Therefore, she takes the bait well at the mouth of the river.
In this case, the fisherman needs to remember that each type of fish has its own preferences. For example, ide often chooses fast water, roach prefers secluded places more.
Winter fishing
In the Volgograd region, ice fishing is no less exciting. Especially a lot of production in such deep rivers as the Volga and the Don. Here, fishermen can walk around everywhere, but it is best to look for places in areas where there is a small current. With well-chosen gear and several dozens of punched holes, even an inexperienced amateur will return home with a decent catch.
Winter fishing in the Volgograd region, especially on the Don river, is distinguished by the fact that there is a bite in any weather. Medium-sized roaches and perch are guaranteed to be caught. Local residents use fish eye as well as worms and bloodworms as bait. Sometimes it’s better to use baits or mormyshki as hooks or baits. This is because in winter the water in the river is much darker, and therefore their hooks are easier to see.
The most important is the choice of places where the bite is the best. These are mainly small backwaters and backwaters. With the onset of severe frosts, for lovers of winter capture of predators on the Volga and Akhtuba floodplain, the long-awaited golden season also opens. Seasoned fishermen catch pike, zander and large perches with zergirls here, and with the help of a variety of mormyshki they catch large linen, for the catch of which float or nod fishing rods are best suited. A good cool fishermen delight Chekhon, bream, silver bream and roach. Very interesting is fishing in the winter in the arches or numerous bays. Here, for a good bite, it is better to use different mormyshki and "little devils".
