Currently, there are not many rivers left where you can enjoy excellent fishing and catch large trophies. The rapid activity of man has greatly affected the state of water bodies. The species composition of fish has noticeably decreased, and its size is not so often pleasing to fishermen. But there were still places where you can enjoy outdoor activities with a fishing rod. A vivid example of this is fishing on Volkhov.
Description of the Volkhov River
The Volkhov River is located in the northwestern part of Russia. Its source is
Lake Ilmen. The main tributaries are Pchevzha, Oskuya. Having made a path length of 224 kilometers, the waters
of the Volkhov River flow into the famous
Lake Ladoga. This relatively small river can be called unique. Its waters can change the direction of flow. How can this be? The thing is that the difference in altitude between the source and the mouth of the river is not too large, and with drops the water turns back. This is how the Volkhov changes its direction. On the banks of this river are the cities of Novgorod, Novaya Ladoga, Kirishi. Shipping is very developed here. The width of the river in the Novgorod region is approximately 220 meters. Of course, fishing on Volkhov deserves special attention. The river has long been famous for its fishing routes. By the way, fish can be successfully caught here almost everywhere. The hook includes pike, asp, pike perch, burbot, catfish, perch, bream, bream, whitefish, bluefish, czech fish, bleak and ruff. So no one will be left without a catch.
Fishing on the Volkhov from shore to bottom tackle
On the bottom tackle in the waters of Volkhov, bream, sabrefish, ide, guster and, of course, catfish are successfully caught. The best places for fishing are at the mouth of Kava, Pchevzhi and Oskuya. As a bait use a bunch of worms. Do not forget about complementary foods. Most effective in these places from the shore to catch on a feeder. A lot of bream and scammers come across. But fishing on the Volkhov is famous not for these species at all. Fishing lovers come here for catfish. The average size of fish caught is 10-15 kg. Larger catfish can be caught at night on stretches and deep holes on the pulka and “quack”. But everything here depends on experience and luck.
Spinning on the Volkhov River
Spinning fishing is of greatest interest to fishermen. By the way, the presence of a large number of predators in these places is really impressive. Fishing on the Volkhov River is famous for its catches of pike, pike perch, asp and perch. Well, if catfish is too hot for lure, then we can assume that the time was not wasted. You can catch on baits both from the shore and from the boat. Very effective fishing on the track. During the day you can catch medium-sized catfish and pikes weighing up to 15 kg. And on seine even eel is found. In many places, along the entire length of the river, on the stretches, there is a large number of zander. He willingly goes both to wobblers and silicone baits. This predator enters the water of the river from Lake Ilmen, in which pike and asp are also found. But fishing is better nevertheless on Volkhov itself and its tributaries. The asp can be found at the mouths of Oskuy, Kava, Kolpinka, Keresti and Pchvzh. Catch him on
spinning baits and vibro-tails. The asp also reacts to medium wobblers. In general, it can be argued that throughout the river you can find a large number of very catchy places. So without, though not very large, but still a trophy, no one will be left.
