Fishing on the Irtysh in the Omsk region

Fishermen in Omsk are lucky, because the Irtysh River is rich in fauna. Fishing here takes place twelve months a year, and the main trophy is considered to be the catch of sturgeon fish.

Fishermen know that fish are finicky, so they prepare several types of bait and bait.

Animal types of bait:

1. Chafer. It is used in May - June to catch ide and asp.
2. Bloodworm. It is advisable to use it in winter, but in summer you can catch something with it. Experienced fishermen collect bloodworms in the mud of reservoirs. It is also fastidious in storage, so preparing bloodworms for future use is a problem. You can use it to catch roach, perch, and bream.
3. Earthworm. The most commonly used type of bait. They are easy to obtain and simple to use. Worms are universal baits that can be used to catch carp fish, catfish and eels.
4. Maggot. It is unpretentious in storage, unlike bloodworms, so fishermen often store maggots for future use. You can catch bream, roach and crucian carp with it.
5. Crayfish . Its meat is excellent for catching catfish and ide. Not the cheapest species, but it is quite effective for catching catfish, chub and ide.
6. River donkey. It is found in every body of water, so catching it is not difficult. You can catch roach and bream using a river donkey.
7. Medvedka. A pest for the garden, but an effective bait for catfish and cyprinids.
8. Dragonfly larva. Experienced fishermen know that the larva is an important element in the food chain of many fish species. Roach and bream are caught with it.

Plant types of bait:

1. Hemp seeds. Fishermen are not very fond of this bait, but it is indispensable for catching roach. It's all about the shape, similar to a dress shell.
2. Semolina chatter. Although it does not hold well on the hook, it attracts fish very well. In the warm season, you can simply prepare mash on a pond. The chatterbox is good for catching roach and crucian carp.
3. Bread. Availability and ease of use make this type of bait the most popular. It is good for catching carp, crucian carp and roach.

There are baits that attract fish regardless of temperature and time of year:

• bream is most often caught using millet porridge, ground corn, and rolled oats;
• roaches are attracted to sunflower cake, milk powder, sugar;
• For baiting crucian carp and crucian carp, it is better to use cake and corn.

From the experience of fishermen it is known that the taste of fish for bait varies depending on the size of the fish. So, when catching small fish, it is better to use milk powder; large ones prefer cereals, potatoes and corn.

Fishing in Omsk on the Irtysh in summer

Fishing in summer is more pleasant, but in order for the catch to be large, you need to know some of the subtleties of the behavior of the river fauna. The summer season opens on June 15 and closes in September.

It is very important to choose a place for fishing:

1. If you intend to catch bream, then you need to look for deep places. Bream can be called a lazy fish and all fishermen know that it gathers in places away from the current. It is necessary to find a place where the river begins to widen slightly. The bream will not be caught right away, so you need to wait. He will not be in a hurry to take the bait. For fishing in summer, maggots are the most effective.
2. Roach is a nomadic fish, so it can be found in most parts of the river, except where there is a fast current. A special indicator of the roach's location is green algae on the bottom of calm parts of the river. To catch roach in the summer you will need a light fishing rod and hemp seeds.
3. Large fish live in the depressions because the water there is cool and has a lot of oxygen. There you will find perch, carp, pike.
4. Wobblers are suitable for catching pike. In places where there is a strong current, they need to be lowered and then pulled towards you slowly. For slow currents, spinners, wobblers and oscillating spoons are suitable.

Fishing on the Irtysh in Semipalatinsk

Fishing in Semipalatinsk is no different, anything special from other cities on this river. Fishing is possible with any tackle, donka, fishing rod, spinning rod - if you are fishing for a predator. Semipalatinsk has a wide variety of fauna, almost all types of freshwater fish are found. In autumn, many anglers come to hunt for predatory species, pike and pike perch. The city hosts tournaments, to which people come from all over Russia to compete for the title of the best spinning player.

Fishing in Omsk on the Irtysh in spring

Spring fishing in March is most effective. Increasing daylight hours affects the behavior of all fish, regardless of what lifestyle they lead.

In this case, it is necessary to know in which fish the activity will increase and in which it will decrease. March is also the time before spawning, so many fish begin to feed heavily.

Features of fishing in spring:

• in early spring the ice remains just as thick, so you shouldn’t hide your winter arsenal;
• at medium depths, perch, pike, pike perch will bite on spoons, jigs and girders;
• It is better to use dull spoons in sunny weather , bright ones - in the evening and at dawn;
• in cloudy weather you can fish throughout the day.

How to catch fish in spring:

• pike gather in small schools in the spring, so some fishermen may be lucky from one hole;
• float tackle with a jig can be used at a depth of 3 to 5 meters until the ice breaks up to catch roach, ruffe or silver bream;
• A jig with bloodworms is suitable for pike perch, pike or chub.

Fishing in Omsk on the Irtysh in winter

Fishing in winter is complicated by choosing a place, because deep ice covers the entire surface of the water. Mostly fish live in places where there is a lot of algae.

The ice fishing season opens on the Irtysh, so there are no fewer fishermen in winter. It is worth giving preference to places in backwaters and creeks with shallow currents.

The winter catch on the Irtysh consists of:

• perch;
• pike;
• sterlet;
• ruff;
• bream;
• pike perch.

Remember that winter fishing requires a special set of auxiliary tools: an ice ax, a depth gauge, and special fishing gear.

After choosing a location, you need to start choosing holes. Experienced fishermen know that the holes need to be located at a distance of five meters. Depending on what kind of fish is being caught, the size of the recess also depends.

An important point: it is better to darken the hole with film so that the fish does not get scared when it swims up. A hole is made in the middle of the film for the gear and future caught fish.

Fly fishing

One of the most numerous and easy to catch fish in the Irtysh is perch.

But the most popular among experienced fishermen, rightfully, is fly fishing. This type of fishing can delight you with a catch of fish from the salmon family, trout or chub. The place where representatives of these rare species gather, and therefore the place for fishing, is the confluence of the Irtysh and Ob rivers.

For such fishing you need to be well equipped. You can find out where to start preparing for fly fishing in the beginner's guide to fly fishing.

Casting range is the main thing in this type of fishing. This is achieved due to the weight of the cord itself.

When choosing a 6-7 class rod, there should also be a cord of the same class. It is capable of holding both a 200-gram bream and a 3-kilogram lenok.

As bait, you can use whatever the fish loves most: chafers, butterflies, worms.

Besides casting, one of the decisive moments in fly fishing is reeling. The prey needs to be tired; fuss and haste will not lead to an effective outcome. This can be learned quickly, but...training, training, training.

• Date: 08/03/2015
• Fishing location: Irtysh river, Tauride district, outskirts of the village. Lugovoe.
• Gear: feeder and lap dog.
• Bait: worm, grasshopper.
• Groundbait: cereals, salapinka
• The water level is high, the channels and entrances to the Irtysh are flooded, the current is average, the water is muddy.

I heard that in these places there is a good bite at dawn. Takes bream, perch, roach.

The place was easy to find. The bank is not high, and fishing on the feeder is simply a pleasure.

Beauty around – the soul rejoices. The current is not strong.

I precisely delivered the bait with flavorings, and in the meantime I’m charging the feeder. The first bite is in 15 minutes, dude.

Next is the roach. Then the bite started, have time to snatch it - mostly bream, but there are also zander.

In the evening, one chebak pecked, but as soon as it pecked, the feeder did not have time to sink to the bottom.

Total catch: 6.4 kg

On the Irtysh you can catch:

• pike perch;
• pike;
• vendace;
• perch;
• bream;
• crucian carp;
• roach.

But still, fishermen strive to catch sterlet or sturgeon, then the hours spent on the river will not be in vain. The difficulty is that sterlet fishing is carried out under a license, but it is worth it.

Sturgeon is the wealth of the Irtysh waters. Its numbers are declining, so every fisherman dreams of catching a sturgeon. Like any other fish, this fish is caught with bait.

Since the sturgeon belongs to the category of predatory fish, it is mainly caught with live bait:

• fry Place it on the hook, piercing it lengthwise and crosswise;
• capelin Sturgeon is excellently caught using smoked fish, which need to be tied whole; It is better to choose medium-sized capelin, otherwise the sturgeon will not swallow it;
• pickled herring. It is better to marinate it using oil, garlic and onions; cut it into oblong or square large pieces;
• crawling worm. Several pieces are placed on the hook and pierced across.

And here's what you need to know: Fishing for carp using technoplankton from the bottom

Many fishermen note that sturgeon can also be caught using vegetable bait made from bread, corn, dough, and porridge.

The river is very rich in various species of fish, fishing can be done all year round. On the Irtysh you can find:

• Perch
• Sturgeon
• Carp
• Salmonidae
• Cod
• Pike

The sturgeon lives in Siberian rivers, including the Irtysh. Almost every fisherman dreams of catching it. Most sturgeon are listed in the Red Book due to the value of this fish and its constant extermination; it is prohibited to catch them, but in some places fishing is still allowed - this is a good chance.

It is best to use aromatic bait; the sturgeon searches for prey mainly by smell.

Baits of animal origin:

• Pickled herring - use unrefined oil, garlic, and onion when making.
• Smoked capelin - sturgeon exhibits an excellent bite when smoked.
• Crawl - Place worms on a ball-shaped hook.

Suitable vegetable baits include corn, cereal, bread or dough.

Catching sterlet

After purchasing a license, you will have access to catching sterlet. Pay attention to the license rules. You can use:

• Zakidushki (bottom gear) is the main method for catching this species.
• Muzzles are a trap tackle with veins of 40 mm and above.
• Bottom nets.

The fishing location is not constant; many factors influence the change in fish habitats (time of year, water level in the river). Several times a day, the sterlet may change its feeding location. Try to pay attention to branches, holes in rivers, and sand.

Use as bait:

• Worms (earthworms, dung worms), crawling worms - do not stick them with a “stocking”. Make punctures in several places.
• Chopped fish, offal - the sterlet has a large mouth and can feed on fairly large baits.

The sterlet is a schooling fish; once you catch one, wait for the next bite.

Winter sterlet fishing

With the onset of winter, fish descend into wintering pits; in December you can actively catch sterlet around and inside them. The Irtysh goes north, and the further north you hunt, the larger the specimen you will catch.

• Date: 06/21/2017
• Place: Omsk city, Irtysh river
• Weather conditions: Cloudy, light wind
• Tackle: Spinning
• Lure: Wobbler, jig bait

“Hello, today I went with my friend Oleg to throw a jig. At 18:00 we were already on the water and making our first casts.

The first bite was immediate, the result was half a kilo of pike perch. Next, my friend’s pike began to bite, was successfully caught and weighed - 1.5 kg.

The bite passed, we rode the boat for about an hour and looked for the precious fish. Suddenly, Oleg got a bite from a large trophy, a pike perch weighing a little over 4 kilograms.

We had a great time and are glad that in the Omsk region there is such a lively attraction full of trophies - the Irtysh"

In the Omsk region, fishing is rapidly developing and the popularization of such rare species in the wild as: salmon, trout, sturgeon. The Irtysh River is a paradise for sports anglers, professionals come from all over Russia to compete in the art of fishing, thus attracting even more beginners in a wonderful fishing environment.

Fishing camps for recreation have been built along the entire length of the river bank, which makes it possible to come with the whole family, and you don’t even need to take gear with you, guests will be equipped with everything they need, beginners have the opportunity to go fishing with a fishing guide.

The river has a slow current, a deep and wide channel; in order to catch rare species such as salmon, muksun and tench, you need to obtain special permission, otherwise you will have to pay an administrative fine.

You can use various means of feeding, winter bait and bite activators. In winter, you need to use the thinnest and most sensitive gear possible; of course, you need to experiment and test.

When the winter fishing season opens, don’t go to other anglers; it’s better to try to find some creeks that are small in width, but quite deep for large specimens. The main thing is to constantly experiment with baits, groundbait and tackle, then everything will definitely work out.

Come to the Irtysh in winter and look for fishing happiness.

During winter, when there is thick ice on the river, it is rare to catch a good bite, more than an exception to the rule. This is because large fish lack oxygen and their activity decreases to the limit.

Active fish in winter in Tobolsk are pike and burbot. When the ice is thick, it is best to focus on very thin tackle and take in quantity; small fish bite perfectly even in times of deep winter.

In Tobolsk there are many lakes where pike are excellently caught in winter, the lake is called “pike”, all because the pike simply has nothing to eat, and if the bite on the Irtysh is weak with thick ice, then there is always the option to move.

Who seeks will always find. It doesn’t matter what time the fishing is going on, the main thing is to experiment and then luck will definitely smile.

Donka fishing is especially popular among fishermen on the main tributary of the Ob. It has its own nuances, and therefore without much effort and knowledge it will be difficult for you to master it.

In these places, fish are better caught on a bottom up to 60 meters. Sinkers should be 150 grams.

The donka must be equipped with 3 leashes, and the thickness of the fishing line must be at least 0.5 mm. The best place to cast a donkey is in an area with uneven terrain.

Fly fishing is no less popular. This type of fishing is very exciting and can captivate almost everyone, but at the same time it is quite difficult, since you need to throw the tackle with light bait over and over again. The bait when fly fishing should not differ from the usual diet of the fish: it can be insects or baits that imitate them.

Due to the large width of the Irtysh, fishing from the shore with a fishing rod is not always convenient, so in such cases you should have a boat with you. It is most convenient to catch bream and pike perch from a boat - these representatives of river fauna prefer depth to surface waters.

Fishing is done with a spinning rod, and silicone baits and wobblers are used as bait; For perch, take a worm, fry and small baits. But at the same time, do not forget about bait, it is divided into two types:

1. Artificial: Porridge; Dough, etc.
2. Natural: Legumes; Grains; Wheat, etc.

The preferred time for fishing is dawn, dusk or night.

The demand for winter fishing on the Irtysh is not inferior to the demand for summer fishing. In the cold season, you can catch bream, sorog, and chebak on the river. The surface where the Irtysh River freezes, due to its geographical location, is uneven: ice cover forms in the northern regions, and disappears closer to the southern regions.

Most often you can see in a fisherman’s cage:

• bream;
• crucian carp;
• soma;
• carp;
• roach.

Among predatory fish, the following are considered frequent guests:

What kind of fish is found in the Irtysh?

On the Irtysh you can catch:

• pike perch;
• pike;
• vendace;
• perch;
• bream;
• crucian carp;
• roach.

But still, fishermen strive to catch sterlet or sturgeon, then the hours spent on the river will not be in vain. The difficulty is that sterlet fishing is carried out under a license, but it is worth it.

Sturgeon

Sturgeon is the wealth of the Irtysh waters. Its numbers are declining, so every fisherman dreams of catching a sturgeon. Like any other fish, this fish is caught with bait.

Since the sturgeon belongs to the category of predatory fish, it is mainly caught with live bait:

• fry Place it on the hook, piercing it lengthwise and crosswise;
• capelin Sturgeon is excellently caught using smoked fish, which need to be tied whole; It is better to choose medium-sized capelin, otherwise the sturgeon will not swallow it;
• pickled herring. It is better to marinate it using oil, garlic and onions; cut it into oblong or square large pieces;
• crawling worm. Several pieces are placed on the hook and pierced across.

Many fishermen note that sturgeon can also be caught using vegetable bait made from bread, corn, dough, and porridge.

Spinning fishing

The main objects of fishing with spinning rods are pike and perch. The current on the river is not strong, so heavy bait is not popular here. The river is wide and fishing from a boat with a spinning rod will bring both pleasure and catch. The most popular fish for spinning fishing is pike perch. In general weight terms, the catch is quite good, but there are practically no trophy specimens.

The perch bite is good from the shore. Bait – small fish or worm. You can catch larger representatives of this species with fish.

Quite often, local fishermen, if there is no bite, switch to a perch rod and fish with live bait. Well, the golden perch loves small fish, it can’t do anything about its appetite. Tackle: 3-4 meter rod with an inertia-free reel and bait. A 10-15 g rig will ensure long casting.

For catching perch, it is recommended to use a diverting leash. When fishing for pike, pay attention to the rating of the best pike lures.

The video clearly shows the angler's technique when catching pike. The technique is called twitching - twitching the wobbler and reeling it in.

The Irtysh is also famous for its abundance of white fish. They catch it with a spinning rod both from the shore and from a boat. In the sun-warmed water you can wait for a catch of silver bream, and in northern waters they take burbot and lenka for spinning.

Catching sterlet

The sterlet either stands in the holes at the very bottom or sticks to the stream. You rarely see this fish in shallow water, and if it swims up, it’s in the morning. Fishermen know that it is better to catch this fish with a worm or fry.

Features of catching sterlet:

• the best place for fishing in this case is the exit from the hole, because you can fish both the hole and the shallows;
• It is better to fish at night;
• the tackle must be selected thin;
• It is better to choose hooks of size seven or five;
• the main thing is to withstand the first moments of the bite, because the fish gets tired quickly and does not resist.

Winter sterlet fishing

In winter, sterlet must be caught using nodding and float gear. Experienced anglers can fish with a jig with bloodworms, but beginners should not use jigs. The animation of the bait should be at the very bottom and smooth, because sterlet is a deep-sea fish. For gear, small hooks are selected, no larger than size five or six, and the cord for the hooks is no larger than 0.2.

Usually in winter, sterlet is caught using dung worms, bloodworms or plant bait. Be sure to use bait.

Quick tips for fishermen:

1. Much depends on the successful choice of location.
2. It's better not to make noise, because some fish can be scared.
3. In summer, on hot days, the most successful fishing occurs at night and at dawn.
4. Select bait for a specific type of fish.

And don’t forget that fishing for sturgeon and sterlet is under special control.
