Fishing in Astrakhan in spring

Spring fishing in the Astrakhan region begins with the opening of the Volga from ice and the passage of ice, usually this happens in early March. At this time, a large number of fishermen appear on the banks of rivers and channels: they miss fishing in open water.

In the spring they catch with all existing types of fishing gear: float rod, feeder, donka, girders, elastic bands, and spinning rods.

In March, immediately after the ice melts, the pre-spawning feast begins for the pike, which at this time grabs any living creature that comes across its path. Pike leave for spawning gradually, first small pikes and medium-sized pikes, then the largest ones.

In the spring, pike perch and bershi leave their wintering pits, come almost close to the coastline and begin to chase schools of peaceful fish.

The perch returns to a full life after winter inactivity and begins to chase the fry, arranging cauldrons on the surface of the water.

In the spring, hungry catfish wake up, emerge from their pools, holes and snags, begin to move around the reservoir and actively feed after a long winter.

In spring, fishing for predators using jig spinning and trolling is common. Catching predators with jigs continues throughout March and April, until the water level rises from the discharge of flood waters at the Volzhskaya hydroelectric station, which occurs in late April - early May.

Many fishermen come to the Astrakhan region in the spring to catch peaceful fish, which begin to be actively caught as soon as the water temperature reaches 8-9 degrees. At this time, roach, bream, silver bream, crucian carp, roach, and carp bite well.

In the spring, many anglers come to Astrakhan for fishing specifically to catch roach. Vobla is a real symbol of the Astrakhan region and its heritage.

Spring roach fishing begins in April and continues until mid-May. The peak of the spring run of the roach is the month of April; at this time the roach can be caught almost by hand. The peak of the flood in Astrakhan usually occurs in the last days of April.

After the start of the discharge of flood waters from the Volzhskaya hydroelectric station, fishing for white fish moves from the Volga to eriki, channels and lakes. Fishing is carried out until the start of the spawning ban, that is, until May 16.

From March to mid-April it is still quite cool in the Astrakhan region and you need to have warm clothes with you. From mid-April it becomes much warmer, and in early May you can already sunbathe while fishing from the shore.

Fishing in Astrakhan in summer

At the beginning of summer, the water level returns to its normal level after the flood. Both predatory and peaceful fish are beginning to be caught well.

All summer in the Astrakhan region, bream, silver carp, rudd, tench, and carp are well caught using feeder, float and bottom tackle. Tench, silver carp, carp and bream look for food in the bottom layers of the reservoir overgrown with grass. Roach and rudd stay in schools near underwater vegetation.

The most difficult month for fishing is June. In June, the midge becomes active and prevents you from taking a step. Prices at many fishing bases are reduced by 2-3 times in June. Especially with your family in June, it is better not to go fishing in Astrakhan. The abundance of midges does not negatively affect the bite; rather, on the contrary, it is in June that trophy specimens are often caught, since there are few anglers on the rivers, there is less noise and the fish become less cautious. Midges are smaller in the Volga delta regions and significantly larger in the more northern regions of the region. Midges are especially abundant in the early morning and evening twilight.

Real summer fishing begins in Astrakhan on June 20. In June, large catfish begin to be caught. Catfish are most often caught from a boat using a kwok, using a frog, pieces of fish and rotten meat as bait. The rule for catfish is: the hotter it is, the better the catfish are caught. From June and all summer long carp are caught well.

By July, the midge leaves and there is an opportunity for both fishing and a comfortable holiday with the family, the water warms up to 25-28 degrees, the lotus blooms beautifully. In July, due to the heat, fish activity decreases slightly.

August brings the first cool weather, the fish become more active, bites become more frequent and confident, and catches increase. In August, pike and pike perch begin to be caught well on spinning rods. Asp are caught from a long distance using a spoon.

If you are going on vacation and not fishing

-JUNE - DEFINITELY NOT During this period of time, midges fly out, hordes of which will definitely not allow you to rest normally.

-JULY - for amateurs it is also not suitable for everyone, the midge is replaced by hellish heat and windless weather, the sand gets so hot that it is impossible to step on, so if you are a fan of terrible heat or want to sit out your entire vacation under the air conditioner, then we are waiting

-AUGUST is a more favorable month for relaxation. A slight breeze appears, which lowers the air temperature, and the water is perfectly warmed up. But there is one drawback - at this time of year there are a lot of tourists, so if you want privacy and tranquility, then no.

-SEPTEMBER - YES September is the most favorable month for a holiday, especially with small children. The heat subsides, but it is enough for sunbathing and swimming. In the evenings there are also significantly fewer mosquitoes, as well as tourists. The time of peace and solitude is coming, where you can fully enjoy the beauty of Astrakhan.

OCTOBER IS NOT FOR YOU Creative individuals who love solitude and the beauty of nature should definitely come in October. During the day the weather is fine, pleasant warmth reigns, although in the evening it gives way to cold weather and even frosts. But the coolness is brightened up by autumn beauty, which is simply impossible to describe in words.

Fishing in Astrakhan in autumn

Autumn is the best time for fishing in the Lower Volga. In autumn, all underwater inhabitants prepare for the winter cold and actively feed. The best time for fishing in Astrakhan comes with the arrival of the first cold snap in late September - early October. Peaceful fish gather in large schools, actively move through reservoirs in search of food, lingering in those areas of the reservoir where there is a lot of food. Following schools of peaceful fish, predators also move.

Caspian carp swim from the Caspian Sea to the Volga in large quantities, studying the river bottom, looking for shells and roots of underwater plants. Voracious silver carp actively feed on the surface. Schools of roach move closer to the shore and feed in shallow coastal waters.

At this time of year, pike grab everything that moves, pike perch set up ambushes behind any shelter found, schools of perch create powerful cauldrons, and the wary asp responds well to bait.

Fishing in the fall can be done with all types of fishing gear. Peaceful fish are caught using a float rod, feeder, donk, or elastic band. Predatory fish are caught using girders and spinning rods. Beginner fishermen, thanks to the active autumn bite, can master fishing methods that interest them, study the habits of different types of fish, and gain valuable fishing experience. Fishing for white fish is carried out until the water temperature reaches 9-10 degrees, which coincides with the second - third ten days of October. The second half of November and the beginning of December is the time of deep autumn, the water temperature drops to 1-7 degrees, white fish practically stops being caught, but at this time pike perch and pike continue to be caught using heavy jigs.

Fishing in Astrakhan in winter

In the Lower Volga there is no such thing as wilderness; fish can be caught here all year round. Until the freeze-up in Astrakhan, they fish with summer gear, and with the establishment of stable ice cover, anglers switch to fishing with winter gear: girders, hooks, balancers, winter spoons and jigs. Ice in Astrakhan begins at the end of December and lasts until December.

In winter, roach, silver bream, rudd, bream and bluefish are caught in Astrakhan. Among the predatory fish caught are pike and pike perch. Pike-perch stands in deep holes and is caught with winter pike-perch spoons and balancers. Pike moves into shallow channels and eriks and is caught using spoons, balancers, and girders. Almost all winter it is good to catch burbot.

Poldanilovka, Green Ponds, Akhtuba River; the villages of Dalta and Ekatirinovka on the Volga

These villages are located near the regional center of Kharabali, so getting here is not difficult. They are famous for their huge catfish (there are specimens that weigh more than 100 kilograms). In summer, bream and carp bite wonderfully here. In August, buffalo fishing is excellent (this fish from America has taken root perfectly in the waters of the Akhtuba and Volga rivers). Windy days are more effective; on calm days the fish are inactive (before getting ready to fish, carefully study the weather forecast). If you want to catch catfish, find the Pea Hole (it's located a little above Green Ponds). This is where the most significant catfish are found (80-100 kilograms). If you fish on the Volga, choose deep-sea tackle. In Akhtuba, huge pike perch are caught at a depth of 3-4 meters.

If you want to catch a significant catfish, be prepared for a grueling hunt. Occasionally it takes several hours to catch up with a fish, so be prepared to sweat for the sake of the giant.

Rest? Fishing? Astrakhan? When to go? Here the “fishy” months are June and August.

Pike

Pike is another predatory fish that is often hooked by anglers. Pike weighing from 4 to 7 kg are often caught. Pike weighing 10 kg have also been caught. Pike can be caught all year round. You can catch it in numerous eriks and channels.

Carp

Fishing in the Astrakhan region is not limited to catching predatory fish; many anglers prefer to catch peaceful fish.

The largest of the peaceful fish is the carp. To catch carp, the angler needs to know its habits, habitats, and taste preferences.

White fish

In areas where there is no strong current, all kinds of peaceful fish accumulate in large quantities: rudd, bream, roach, ram, silver bream, sabrefish. Fishermen catch it in large quantities with a variety of gear: float rods, feeders, plugs, donks and many other methods.

Crossroads of cultures

Literally opposite the “Rybzavod”, on the other bank of the Old Volga, where the Sun “falls” in the evenings, there is a fairly large archaeological zone known as the Samosdel settlement. According to a number of leading scientists who have been excavating here for decades, it was in this place that the legendary capital of the Khazar Kaganate, the city of Itil, was once located.

But for historical monuments it is better to go to Astrakhan. The local Kremlin, the southernmost in Russia, has recently been put in order. In some places, restoration work is still ongoing, but you can already leisurely stroll along it, admiring the majestic cathedral, mighty walls and ancient towers that remember Ivan the Terrible, Peter the Great, and Stenka Razin.

From dawn to rumble: what to do in Astrakhan and its environs

Not far from the Kremlin there are trading farmsteads of the 19th century - Persian and Armenian. In fact, large caravanserais for visiting merchants have today been converted into apartment buildings, but the original architectural appearance has been completely preserved. The current inhabitants know that they live in unique architectural monuments, and are sympathetic to the numerous tourists who, with their mouths open and constantly clicking cameras, constantly crowd at their doors.

In the city center, many buildings in the Art Nouveau style have been preserved and just a little bit of pseudo-Gothic and constructivism (for example, the famous House of Bottles, which still impresses today with its amazing interior space filled with air and light). Elegant, stylish and very atmospheric houses, unfortunately, for the most part are in deplorable condition, despite the fact that people live in them.

What else you need to do in Astrakhan:

— Meet with a competent guide at the “nulevka” — that’s what the locals call the zero kilometer sign in the once-cult quarter for all informals — and go with him through the passage yards and secret paths through the back streets of the former White City to see Astrakhan from the inside. She's worth it.

From dawn to rumble: what to do in Astrakhan and its environs

— See the Tsoi Wall, which has existed here since 1993 and has never been “renovated.”

— Hang out on Fioletova Street, which the townspeople lovingly call Astrakhan’s Rubinstein Street. In general, it is well deserved.

— Buy the most fragrant smoked catfish and a bunch of the legendary Astrakhan roach for a nostalgic house party next weekend and, depending on your mood and capabilities, a small jar of black caviar for some special occasion that will certainly come.
