The rivers of Tatarstan are rich in fish, 22-23 thousand tons according to estimates Federal agency on fisheries. Over the past 5 years, the number has been stable.

These are mainly bream, silver bream, a little less pike perch, and even less carp. There is a little sterlet, we recently included it in the Red Book for further conservation,” says Ramil Sharafutdinov, head of the Zakamsk zone of the Administration for the Protection and Use of Fauna of the Republic of Tatarstan.

In the summer of 2015, fishermen caught huge catfish. A resident of the village of Kuntechi, Laishevsky district, caught a catfish 2.5 meters long and weighing 65 kilograms. Fishermen from Zelenodolsk returned with a trophy of 2.20 meters and 73 kilograms. The largest catfish was caught by a fisherman from Tashkirmen: the fish pulled 2.5 meters and 95 kilograms. But in general, there are fewer fish, fishermen believe.

The ruffe has practically disappeared, but there have been a lot of hybrid crucian carp. There are fewer predators, more white fish,” says Roman Maslov, fisherman and organizer of the “Total Spinning” fishing tournament, which will be held in Kazan from July 7 to 9.

37 teams from all over Russia have already registered to participate. Each team is given 8 hours to bring their catch. In this case, the winner is determined not only by kilograms, but also by assortment. You need to catch a pike - at least 45 cm, pike perch and zherich - at least 40 cm, bersha - at least 25 cm and perch - at least 20 cm. It is important to bring the fish to the finish line alive, because according to the terms of the competition it must be released after weighing into the pond.

We promote the slogan “catch, release,” we must take care of nature, catch no more than is needed for cooking,” says Roman Maslov.

They don’t go into the forest with their own firewood, but the participants of “Total Spinning” will come with fish to buy fish. They will release juveniles into the Kuibyshev Reservoir to replenish their reserves of living silver.

Advice from an experienced

What to do to get a good catch?

Maxim Krivtsov, fisherman with ten years of experience:

For me, the best bait to catch fish with is a worm. But if you are just starting out, then it is worth trying all existing types. By the way, first you should try fishing without a weight, it will be easier at first. True, you will be more likely to catch small fish, but there will be a lot of them.

Ilya Vorobyov, head of the Torpedo fishing club:

There are no small details in successful fishing. When going to a pond, be prepared for any situation; amateur fishing should, first of all, bring pleasure, so take care of your comfort. The weather can change dramatically: heat, rain, wind - you need to be prepared for anything. Prepare easy access to your gear and fishing accessories. Special fishing suitcases and boxes are best suited for this. Wasting time searching for the right hook, sinker, swivel or untangling leashes is not best idea, especially during active biting. When hunting peaceful fish, remember that the bait and bait must be fresh. In hot weather, take care of the safety of live baits. Keep bloodworms, maggots, and worms in the shade, and ideally in a cool thermal bag. Don't be afraid to experiment with baits, use different combinations of them. On unfamiliar bodies of water, try to strike up a conversation with local fishermen and find out their secrets. It’s even better to study fishing forums before your trip to find the information you need. The most important rule is to have fun, spend time with friends, take care of nature. The number of fish in the cage is just a nice addition, don’t forget about it.

Spring pike fishing with spinning rod

Pike spawning occurs at the beginning of March, when ice is still often found on rivers and other bodies of water. This time The year is considered the most suitable for successful fishing; the fish is hungry and grabs any bait offered to it. The active spring bite does not last long, so it is very important not to miss it. At the same time, the season of exciting spinning fishing opens, which will last until severe frosts appear.

Before you go fishing, you need to prepare your gear and remember the skills of throwing a wobbler or spinner. You just have to miss a little, and the bait ends up on the ice, from where it is then very difficult to unhook it, sometimes it’s even easier to tear off the bait.

The most successful fishing is considered to be with a spinning rod, when the bait is thrown near the edge of the ice and is carried out in the upper layers of the water. The fish emerges from the water, becoming interested in the bait, attacks and tries to quickly hide under the ice. Experienced spinners advise moving the lure at the right angle so that the pike comes out after it and cannot subsequently go into snags or under the ice.

Spawning activity of pike in spring occurs in the morning, between 06.00 and 10.00 hours. This is the best time for fishing. There are good chances of catching a big pike in the evening, from 16.00 until dark.

After a greedy and short bite, the pike goes to spawn. Intensified spawning feeding of pike can continue until the beginning of May, although the main intensity occurs in April.

Catching pike after it spawns in April will be successful in shallow water areas. There she remains for some time after spawning, and only then leaves for more deep places. Therefore, for fishing with a spinning rod, they mainly use wobblers, with a dive of up to 1 m, maximum - up to 1.5 m. You can use turntables or spinners, but in any case, the size of the spoon or wobbler needs to be chosen larger.

After spawning, the previously active pike becomes sluggish; the spinning rod is carried out evenly, not quickly. The fish can hang on the hook like a log without any resistance. It is advisable to take a landing net, because very large fish can be caught on the hook.

It is important to remember that pike gather in groups for spawning, usually a couple of females and up to a dozen males. And after spawning they continue to stay close to each other. Therefore, having caught one fish, you need to try your luck in this place again - the chance of catching one or more pikes is very high.

This metropolis is a subject of the Russian Federation and is located in its European part, at the junction of two great rivers, the Volga and Kama. The city of Kazan, which is the capital of the republic, is located approximately 800 kilometers from the capital of Russia. The borders of Tatarstan are Kirov, Ulyanovsk, Samara and Orenburg region, as well as Bashkortostan, Mari El, Udmurtia, Chuvashia.

The water resources of the republic include the most large rivers Volga, Kama (tributaries: Belaya river and Vyatka river). Tatarstan also has over eight thousand ponds and small lakes. All the wealth of the republic’s waterways contributes to the development and popularity of fishing. Beautiful landscapes and fishing spots of rivers and lakes are always happy to deliver a lot of positive emotions to fishermen, without leaving them without a well-deserved catch.

Choosing a place for fishing in Tatarstan is very important for an effective catch.

The Volga River, especially its right bank, is favored by fishermen in summer time year, since pike during this period can be caught in very large sizes, reaching 11 kilograms. On the right bank of the river, this can be fishing on the shore, as well as from a boat, you can catch bream and carp. Predatory fish species (pike perch, catfish, perch) also delight the fisherman’s soul. The right bank of the Volga also makes it possible to catch sabrefish, roach and other river fish.

On the Volga there is the Blue Bay, distinguished by its magnificent beauty and big amount various types of fish. You can drive from the center of Kazan within an hour. You can catch silver beauties using any of the methods that are used for river fish. Carp, perch, crucian carp, bream and pike live here in sufficient quantities.

The Kama River, its right bank is considered best place for fishing. But to count on a good catch, you need to stock up on a boat. A large number of fishermen use the float type of fishing, since there are many fairly smooth banks on the Kama River. In the summer, maggots and worms are used, and at the end of summer, vegetable bait is used. And then it is better to use bottom tackle. At this time, there are a lot of fish in the reservoir, a large number accumulate in the shallow Kama areas. But not only the shore can be the best place for fishing: there are a lot of small places in small lakes and creeks. Local fish do not like depth, and it scares them.

But what’s curious is that all Kama fish bite on a variety of bait, so you need to take a lot of different baits with you when fishing, and a variety of baits also contribute to effective fishing. If you use lupine (a bean-like plant) as bait and add it to the bait, then the fishing will be very good, since a lot of fish will approach your fishing spot. Once you try it, you will use this lupine quite often.

True, this bait takes a very long time to prepare: the lupine beans first need to be soaked for several hours and then boiled for more than half an hour. After cooling, the water is drained and then dried on a dish. There is a lot of hassle, but the time spent will pay off with interest. You can try a shell smeared in clay as bait - it also gives good bite results. Of the porridges prepared at home, pearl barley is the most suitable. You just need to try to make it both not too liquid (it will slide) and not too thick.

In autumn, when the water has cooled a little, fish bites become more intense. The fact is that “native” fish are inherently cold-loving. These fish include bream, which are caught using rings and feeders. Those who hunt mainly for predatory fish species, with the help of schools of bream, find the habitats of chub and pike perch. As a rule, they are caught with a spinning rod, but bottom tackle, if the fisherman is experienced.

Of all the baits, Kama fish prefer to bite on the twister and ripper. It is these baits that can bypass dense aquatic vegetation and do not get entangled in it. Another fish reservoir in Tatarstan is Lake. Kaban, which is located in close proximity to Kazan. During spring floods, this reservoir is filled with spring waters from the Volga River. The Bulak channel, which comes out of Kaban, “helps” with this. Thus, young fish of various species grow in this lake. The middle boar is rich in silver carp, which is currently a rarity in the republic. The straits and channels will delight anglers with large herds of carp and many crucian carp; Sometimes pike perch swim in.

Tatarstan, perhaps more than other regions of Russia, is designed for relaxing holiday fishing, where you forget the everyday worries and problems associated with the crisis in the country. The time spent in this republic is remembered not only by successful and large catches, but by the opportunity to learn the history and culture of this metropolis.
