A large number of warm sunny days a year, the beauty of nature and a variety of fishing spots attract not only tourists to Astrakhan, but also fishing enthusiasts who want to catch pike perch, catfish, asp or roach.
How to choose a seat
Experienced fishermen, who have repeatedly surprised the fish in the Astrakhan region, recommend paying attention to the Volga, namely to the left branch of this river. Fish is also good on Akhtuba. It is here that predatory fish species such as pike live. It is especially good to get out to Akhtuba in the spring months, when the pike go to spawn. At this time, many females of predatory fish rush to the floodplain.
If we talk about fishing on the lower Volga, then the largest catches here happen with the onset of floods, in April.
Throughout the water area of the Buzan River, perch and pike are well caught on spinning throughout the year. Those who prefer to fish from the shore can catch bream, roach and rudd.
The Volga canals in the Beluga, Kirovsky and Nikitinsky banks, as well as the Kizan River, where, in addition to fishing, you can hunt for crayfish, are also considered one of the most fishing places. Fishing lovers also come to the Astrakhan region in the winter months.
Shambaysky Island (Erik Mitinka) is an ideal fishing spot for those who dream of catching a large catfish. However, there are a lot of underwater snags in these places, so you need to fish, taking precautions.
When planning a trip to the Astrakhan region, you can opt for one of the recreation centers, which abound in these places, and book a house in advance, since in the fishing season due to the influx of tourists it will be problematic to do this.
What you need to take with you
Those who plan to go to one of the recreation centers do not have to worry about the presence of a boat and a life jacket, since they can always be rented, but those who decide to go fishing "savage" need to prudently stock up on everything they need.
It is best to make a list of the essentials before you travel. Following the list, it is worth bringing a navigator, a tent, a heating device for cooking (in case there are problems with building a fire), as well as the food itself. Naturally, outdoor recreation involves meeting a variety of insects, so you should stock up on repellents. In addition, it is necessary to make a list of fishing gear and baits. To store fish, you need to stock up on special containers or containers with tight-fitting lids. Professionals recommend burying them in the ground in order to provide the extraction with the optimal possible temperature regime.
