Fishing on Akhtuba. Astrakhan fishing bases, recreation.
The territory stretching between the Volga and the branch, about six hundred kilometers long, is called the Volga-Akhtuba floodplain
. If you look at the plan of the floodplain from above, you will see how much this area is cut up by small rivers, backwaters, multiple eriks, lakes, swamp areas and oxbow lakes. And absolutely all of them are abundantly populated with fish and game. It’s true that the Volga-Akhtuba floodplain arouses such sporting interest among most fishermen.
Fishing bases in the Volga delta
Areas of the Volgograd and Astrakhan regions where you will find bases where fishing on Akhtuba will always be with a guaranteed catch:
- Akhtubinsky district (Astrakhan region)
- Kharabalinsky district (Astrakhan region)
- Enotaevsky district (Astrakhan region)
- Narimanovsky district (Astrakhan region)
Fishing on Akhtuba is no less attractive than in the Volga delta. Moreover, during the period when fish go to spawn, fishing in Akhtuba is even preferable. Judge for yourself, all the fish from the area of the peals begin to rise upward during spawning. As a result, fishing and the number of trophies in our area are much higher and luckier! The Volga-Akhtuba floodplain is inhabited by catfish, pike perch, pike, carp, perch, bream, asp, and the “individuals” may turn out to be even larger, because, having gained weight in the lower part of the Volga, the fish begins to rise upstream. Fishing on Akhtuba is especially successful and prolific in terms of catch in April and August. At this time, roach, pike, bream, pike perch, catfish and other types of fish are doing great.
Fishing bases are ready to accept guests throughout the year. Accept and surprise with your price offers, accommodation options and types of recreation. Many bases have comfortable beaches. There are good access roads to the bases.
In addition, this place, amazing in its uniqueness, is part of a special cultural and historical space. Coming to relax on Akhtuba, you can enjoy one ancient city of Sarai-Batu
, which is one of the rarest places in the Astrakhan region and the world.
And if we take into account the unique opportunities for recreation, plus the closer distance to Moscow, St. Petersburg, etc., then it becomes clear why many lovers of active recreation and fishing choose the Akhtubinsk direction. Our website will help you choose the most suitable fishing base based on your preferences, from economy to VIP class.
Reviews
Konstantin This year I visited the “Poplavok” base. I was very pleased with the abundance of fish. Small pike perch and garfish can be caught directly from the pier equipped here. For more substantial trophies you have to go to neighboring pits. The competent work of the rangers made it possible to become the owner of a “fanged” one weighing more than 7 kg.
Alexey and his wife vacationed at the Favorit base from June 15 to July 31. I really liked it. The attitude towards vacationers is beyond praise. If any questions arise, they are resolved promptly and efficiently. Good kitchen. The rooms are clean. We will definitely come here next year.
Sergey This is the fifth time I’ve come to the “U Romanych” base. I would like to specifically mention the reasonable prices and friendly staff. The only drawback is the lack of Wi-Fi.
