The Altai Territory is located on the border of continental Asia, within Western Siberia. The area of the region is 168,000 km2. The administrative center is Barnaul, which was founded in Catherine's times. It borders with Kazakhstan, Novosibirsk, Kemerovo regions, and the Altai Republic. The region has both flat and mountainous areas. The mountains cover areas of steppes and forest-steppes from the south and east. These are the foothills of Altai and the Salair Ridge.
The proximity of the mountains does not save the territory of the region from frequent changes in air masses that come from the Atlantic, the Arctic and Central Asia. This leads to frequent changes in weather conditions, the appearance of dry winds in the summer months and snowstorms in the cold season. Summers are cool and relatively short. Maximum temperatures in July reach +24 °C. Frosts in the cold season can reach -50 °C.
Features of recreation in the Altai Territory
There are attractions in the region, museums, cultural centers, and amusement parks, but that’s not what people come here for most often. First of all, travelers are attracted by picturesque mountain landscapes, the mesmerizing beauty of caves, turbulent streams of mountain rivers and waterfalls. For tourists who prefer active recreation in nature, a number of routes have been developed: • motorcycle tours through the Altai Mountains along the Chuysky Tract; • car and bus excursions; • ethnotours; • hiking trips to the Denisov caves, Kek-Tash, Tavdinsky caves, to the foot of Mount Belukha, waterfalls; • horse rides; • rafting on mountain rivers. Travelers will be shown the bones of fossil animals that are now considered extinct, the Tsar's Mound and other interesting places and things that the Altai people are proud of.

When going fishing, you can choose a recreation center on the shore of a reservoir. As a rule, wherever there are fishing spots in the immediate vicinity of the guest house, you can rent fishing equipment, a boat, and get advice from experienced rangers.
Catching Ob carp
Bent rods and patience to everyone!!!
I looked at the links and came to the conclusion that the carp had indeed proliferated in the Ob. Fishermen too. For the most part, they take the fish completely.
For the most part, they completely take the fish,
unfortunately yes. fish eaters in abundance. the trophy (for 15 kg) is already more difficult to take. but the small carp (2-3 kg) reproduces well and is caught even where it has never been seen.

TrophyThere are carp anglers from those places on the forum. Tell me how she is your Ob
Hi all! As for me, one of the “discoverers” of the Ob for carp fishermen was ONYX. And carp fishermen, of course, continue to catch carp in the Ob and, of course, release them, but amateurs... yes. And so many people catch it. Waterman, Perfumer, and Kornilovich seems to have caught it. I don’t know whether the Altai ones are here or not, but many are also caught, Andrey (Perfumer) will tell you about them.
Best regards, Evgeniy Vlasov.
The Ob is covered with “foggy albion”
Bent rods and patience to everyone!!!
The Ob is a super “reservoir”, you just have to wait for the “right water”
Sergey, more specifically. Is it raining?

TrophySergey, more specifically. Is it raining?
July, August, like on the Volga, after the flood
and rain and heat (mountains), according to my many years of observation, only cause the water to rise. It's better when there are no jumps. Mountains greatly influence the level. In general, Igor Ob is big. What kind of place are you considering? If it’s OVH, then it’s better to go to Novosibirsk residents. if it’s a stone, then Altai is probably better.

TrophyVictor, I watched the video for a couple of minutes, but still don’t understand your message? Who are these, your fellow carpenters or where did you get this conclusion from the first video?
Which means hungry. I understood from your words that there is zero food supply in the Ob
There are carp anglers from those places on the forum. Tell me how she is your Ob
I heard Pasha Techno is a lover of this river. Pavel, write what for what?
Now everyone has rushed to the Ob... but I don’t think we’ll have to wait long for everything to be cleaned up there))
Yes. They lit it up again).

Hell, you can clean it out there, it’s not a merino, they scoop it up with trawls
PUNKS NOT DEAD!!!
On the Volga they also scooped up, scooped up and PPC - now they call a 10-point ace a trophy...
an ace with a 10 is called a trophy... everything goes towards this. 30 years ago, bream cost three rubles…. 5 rarely but slipped through. now it seems that manufacturers have been knocked out by 1-2 kg... The sterlet was like dirt. record for a saucepan - 32kg is unheard of now (or maybe I’m talking to the wrong people)
As for me, one of the “discoverers” of the Ob for carp fishermen was ONYX.
Yes, I remember him, a good fisherman... it’s a pity that I gave up... I hope we’ll see him again with good fish...

Reservoirs of the Altai Territory
The main rivers of the region are the Ob, Charysh, Biya, Katun and Alei. The Ob basin occupies almost 70% of the region's area. Due to the diversity of the topography, there are both lowland and mountain rivers in the region, which allows you to diversify the leisure time of the traveler and fisherman. The largest lake in the Altai Territory is Kulundinskoye. It's fresh. There are also salty and bitter-salty lakes. Of interest in terms of organizing fishing are the Kuchukskoye, Gorkoye, Bolshoye Yarovoye and Bolshoye Popolnoye lakes, which are rich in fish and famous for the abundance of picturesque places along their banks.
Carp season
The walk from the hippodrome to the fishing spot is 35 minutes. It happens that after their shift they get out at dawn, and when the weekend comes, they spend the entire day at the pond. The main fish caught are roach, bream and crucian carp. During the day, carpenters lose up to five leashes, and then with a sigh they begin to talk about a hefty carp. They set up the gear for carp, but no fish are caught at all. Every year it's the same. I swore off going to the pit behind the meat processing plant, but the persuasion of friends and encounters with wild carp lure me to the city pond again and again.
"Sucks" - for sale
A ten-meter sand dam separates the pit from the sump with process water. The color of the water in the sump is emerald, unnatural, and the smell is tart, not every nose can stand it. Although the dam is sandy and wide, there is no guarantee that “emerald” water will not seep into the pit. It’s unpleasant to see fishermen at the settling basin and local residents clinging to the banks! One day I asked them: “Guys, what are you doing with the fish? It's inedible." They answered me honestly: “We are selling it.” The mood was ruined for the entire fishing trip. The pit where my comrades fish is a reservoir about two kilometers long and four hundred meters wide. On the side of the dam and the steep ravine, reeds have grown, but there is a lot of clean space convenient for fishing with fishing rods. The depth begins immediately from the shore. The weight of the equipment on a three-meter rod is one and a half meters, on a four-meter rod - two and a half meters, on a six-meter rod - five. In winter, the jig finds soil at 7-9 meters. Even in summer, the water in the pit is cold and only the upper layers warm up, in which the fish spawn.
About bait and complementary foods
Fishing in this area is well known and practiced. From early morning you prepare the place and take the fish to the fishing point. Complementary feeding is the simplest: cake, bran, ground crackers and a glass of raw millet, flavored with honey. There is only one attachment - boiled pearl barley flavored with the same honey. I add clay to only one-sixth of the complementary food when I make a feeding trail. I also add a few handfuls of pearl barley. There is disagreement over whether a feeding lane is necessary. Yes, I need it. When experienced colleagues in the hobby sit next to you and catch less than you with the same bait, you are convinced that the fish approached your floats from the depths. Your own style of fishing, with knowledge of the habits of the fish. I use three rods. Two powerful carp spinning rods equipped with three-gram balsa floats. The wire reels, which serve to store fishing line, are placed on a ratchet. The hook is carp, large, with a single barley attached to its sting. This is a very good option and almost a win-win.
Roach take the bait on such a hook quite rarely, but they still get caught, since the tackle has to be checked occasionally and the bait changed. The fishing line is 0.26−0.28 mm, solid, without leads, which adds strength to the gear. The tackle is designed for carp and stands on flyers. The distance between the floats on spinning rods is about four meters, and between them with a light carbon-fiber fishing rod the same length as the spinning rods, 3.5 m, I use thin equipment to catch roach.
It is interesting to observe the distribution of complementary foods and pearl barley. Bulk complementary food is sent under the roach rig, which creates a feed column, and a small amount of cereal. Only pearl barley is thrown under the floats of spinning rods, constantly, but in moderate quantities. Carp will definitely find pearl barley and will not collect it one by one. It will walk along the ground like a vacuum cleaner, and the hook with the nozzle will end up in its mouth. You can also use canned sweet corn “Bonduelle”, the roach is cut off completely, but then there will be no element of surprise in fishing. Friends often do this, plant corn, but quite often they can’t stand the wait and exchange it for a worm or the same pearl barley.
Fighting wild carp
The bite is active, and there is never a dull moment. By Siberian standards, the roach is quite large, up to 250 grams, and this is a pleasure to catch.
But... you feel a change in the bite. The bites have almost stopped. Complementary feeding doesn't help. All! Now something will happen. Dense tackle is deposited. I watch the floats on strong tackle. One of the floats dives under the water. It follows a hook “with all my heart” and... a hook? No, not a catch. After a short, bewildered pause, the wild carp turns around and rushes into the depths. Under the pressure of the carp, having dropped fifteen meters of fishing line from the reel, I begin to slow down the reel drum with my finger, which has gained momentum. The carp stops and tries to rest, but I am already starting to pump it out from the depths. A little more, and a bronze fish appears on the surface. Half the job is done. Next comes the distribution of roles. One of the friends camouflages himself on the shore and sits motionless, not looking at the water. He keeps the landing net in the water and will only raise it at my command when the carp is above the net. There is no other way. The shore is clayey, there is a ledge, you will suffer yourself and you will torture the fish. When everything is ready to complete the operation, I begin to bring the fish to the shore, retreating about three meters from the edge of the ledge. Sazan sees me well and, although he is in a stressful situation, behaves calmly, but I should not make any sudden movements. If you swing the rod one more time, the wild carp will rush into the depths again. Slowly, I retreat along the shore and move the carp towards the cage, stopping all its attempts to turn around and grab the fishing line with a saw blade. Here is the fish above the landing net, followed by the command “Lift!” - and the carp falls into the net. All. The fight is over. It took exactly 12 minutes to fish out. Very rarely, a fish, sensing danger, moves away from the landing net, and this is often the fault of the assistant, who is waiting to look at the fish. I weigh the trophy and put it in a cage with roaches. After such a struggle, he will not soon show his violent character. The largest carp I caught in the pit weighed 5.7 kilograms, mostly it goes evenly, from 2.5 to 3 kg. The largest number of carp caught per day is eight, the smallest is two. It’s already like a tradition: one or two carp per trip emerge from the fight as winners.

Fishing in the Altai Territory
You can fish in the region almost all year round. In the warm season, you can fish from the shore or boat. Fortunately, there are quite large bodies of water in the region. In winter, this is, of course, ice fishing. Experienced fishermen say that the best catches are obtained precisely in the cold season, when the fish are hungry and actively swallow any bait. In foothill areas, preference should be given to grayling. Here it is found in large quantities due to the fact that the water of mountain rivers is crystal clear and rich in oxygen. Also an excellent “trophy” would be Siberian taimen, which locals call “red pike”. This fish grows much larger than salmon, but shows less agility when fishing. This allows anglers, even without experience, to always go home with a catch. On the Biya, Katun, and numerous lakes, pike and sterlet, pike perch and ide are often caught on the hook. There are also endemic fish species that are found nowhere else except in Altai.
When going fishing in the Altai Territory, you should take into account the difficulties associated with spending a long time in nature. It is also advisable to inquire about the status of the reservoir of interest and find out whether free fishing is allowed on it. In order to avoid problems and receive optimal quality service, we recommend that you seek help from a fishing and travel company, whose specialists will be able to select the most suitable tour for a group of friends or an individual trip.
Kiprino, Altai, fishing on the “Belaya Glinka”
Getting to know Belaya Glinka
Good day everyone. I decided to describe in as much detail as possible the history of my fishing acquaintance with one very beautiful place, which I could not get to for a long time only because I was not interested in winter fishing, and in the summer it is almost impossible to get there. Among Altai fishermen this place is called “white clay”. I don’t know where this name came from, but it seems that in this place on the Ob River there is a channel with that name, and maybe from something else.
On February 23, 2019, the head of the local village makes a decision to clear the road to Glinka in honor of the All-Russian holiday and sends “heavy equipment” in the form of collective farm tractors to the fields. They, in turn, make one single road, a couple of meters wide. The length of the path is 24 km and along the entire road there are only a few rare pockets for oncoming cars to pass.
Having come fishing just once, I simply fell in love with this place. I have always loved those fishing spots that not everyone can get to, for their cleanliness, silence and, if you can call it that, for their pristine nature...
In total, he made four fishing trips to Glinka. All in a row, every subsequent Saturday, starting March 2. The last one was on March 23, and it was the final one, since the road became almost impassable for my car, but it helped me determine what exactly I should change in the car.
Each of the fishing trips was dedicated to catching Bream , I really love this fish. Many people were looking for pike, perch, and carp there. Someone found it, and someone went home empty-handed. With each subsequent departure, the number of fishermen per square meter was less and less, each time the road weeded out less passable vehicles. On my first fishing trip, I was more involved in searching than fishing, I drilled absolutely all the nearby snags, it’s good that at least the weather allowed me to do this. But my efforts were still rewarded, I found what I was looking for. I found exactly that one snag, under which the bream was sitting hiding. This kind of fishing was new to me, I was sitting practically on the riverbed, the pull was very strong, I found several of the heaviest jigs that were in the stash. But some of them remained piercings on the pike, so we had to improvise. A single “combine” had been collecting dust in the box for a long time; I had never used it before, and now it was its turn. Also, from the existing bells and whistles and a pike fishing rod, a kind of “under-ice feeder” was made. And then the idea came to me to conduct a small comparison of these, at one time identical, but at the same time different equipment.

Baits for carp
Carp fishing enthusiasts willingly share their observations, and this is what they noticed.
In the spring, wild carp take better bait on a dung worm, while in the summer crucian carp are actively interested in this bait, which reduces all the efforts of the fisherman to nothing. Therefore, during the warm period, there is nothing left to do but replace the worm with other baits. Usually this is thick pea porridge with the addition of semolina or potatoes cooked al dente (until half cooked). Good results can be achieved with such baits as flavored dough, boilies prepared on its basis and corn (boiled or store-bought pickled); catching carp on sunflower cake also gives good results. In the spring, many fishermen prefer to fish with the tender meat of pearl barley, which the carp eats with great satisfaction.
Helpful advice! The first thing to do after hooking a carp is to raise the rod up at an angle of 60 degrees, rest the handle on any hard object and try to hold it in this position for several minutes.
There can be no talk of instant playing. You definitely won’t be able to take on a formidable enemy by force; the right tactics are needed here. It consists in exhausting him, forcing him to stop and only then getting him out of the water. The main thing is not to panic, keep your nerves in check, do everything carefully and without unnecessary haste.
| General summary: | The conclusions are as follows. The carp hits the paralon and perceives it as a fry - a food competitor and simply tries to kill it. |

Fishing carp from the shore to pearl barley (Ob method)
Catching carp has always been associated with southern Russian rivers, partly with water bodies in the middle zone, Central Asia and the Far East, but not in Siberia - carp simply were not found there.
But in recent decades the situation has changed, and a striking example is the spread of carp in the Ob basin. Carp are not among the indigenous fish species of the Ob; they were acclimatized there relatively recently (much later than in the reservoirs of Central Asia and Kazakhstan). But among the Ob fishermen, their own squad of carp hunters has managed to form, hunting for golden river giants, and in ways that differ from European ones. For example, carp in the Ob basin ignore boilies offered to them as bait - numerous experiments by local fishermen have not led to success.
The following features of fishing for carp refer to the upper reaches of the Ob (Altai) and are borrowed from the article by I. Chevychelova “Ob carp” (“Rybolov” No. 5/2000).
Barnaul fishermen mount their float gear on the basis of a powerful four-meter spinning rod with a spinning reel with 3 ball bearings. The equipment consists of a Berkley braided line with a diameter of 0.2 mm, a medium-sized balsa float, a sliding sinker and a stopper shot, 12–15 cm below which a hook is tied directly to the main line (a leash is not used). Fished from stands, as with ordinary fishing rods; An indispensable accessory for fishing is a large landing net with a deep net.
Fishing, like any fishing for carp using float gear, takes place in places without a current: in the bays and channels of the Ob, in the pools of its small tributaries (not far from the mouth), in floodplain reservoirs - both natural and in pits formed as a result extraction of gravel and sand in the river bed.
Barley porridge serves as both bait and bait. This is how the author of the article describes its preparation:
“We make a feeding path from the middle of the reservoir, and feed more abundantly right under the floats. Roach, crucian carp, and bream gather in the feeding area, so we don’t sit idle waiting for the big fish to come—the cat gets the small ones.
The bait we fish with is ordinary boiled pearl barley with the addition of honey and sugar. All carp have a sweet tooth and simply cannot refuse such a dish. I prepare the nozzle like this: for 1 cup of raw pearl barley, pour 6 cups of water into the pan. I wash the cereal thoroughly and put it in a pan of boiling water. I let it boil again and reduce the heat to low.
Before the end of cooking, I add a teaspoon of honey and two tablespoons of sugar. When the cereal absorbs water, I remove the nozzle from the stove, wrap the pan in a towel and let it stand for an hour. The bait is not digested and turns out as if glazed, in a sweet shell. Pearl barley prepared in this way has also proven itself well when catching crucian carp, roach and other fish. Flavors greatly enhance the attractiveness of the bait.”
Unfortunately, the author of the article did not say anything more directly about fishing (but she did tell what, according to her husband’s observations, she has a beautiful fishing stance when fishing for carp - a woman is always a woman, even when fishing). We can only guess about some unmentioned details: Barnaul fishermen obviously use small hooks, no larger than No. 6 according to the domestic numbering - it is difficult to attach pearl barley to a hefty hook, and roach is unlikely to fall on it as bycatch.
Why doesn't the carp bite?
Carp is a rather cunning and cautious fish, so there are cases when the bait, bait, and tackle are chosen almost perfectly, but there is no bite.
A complete absence or very weak bite is usually explained by the following reasons:
- The leash is too long. This gives the carp the opportunity to examine the bait from all sides, and sometimes even try it, without it being strung on the hook.
- A short leash that alarms the fish. In the case of a short leash length, the carp simply will not swim close to the bait, much less try it.
- The place chosen for bait and fishing is not liked by the fish. In addition to the presence or absence of food, there are other criteria for choosing a place for feeding and resting.
- Too much food alarms the fish , and it tries to avoid it.
- Tangling of equipment by a fisherman while casting or by the carp himself when studying the bait.
- Mismatch between hook and bait sizes.
- A small number of individuals in the area where the gear is placed.
- Extraneous sounds and noises during fishing , scaring away very cautious fish.
- Replacing the usual bait with a new one , which the carp perceives as dangerous.
- Too inconspicuous bait , having a rather mediocre color and smell.
Fishing
Fishing for wild carp is a separate issue. Carp is the strongest fish found in fresh water, so there is no need to force the process. When the prey is hooked, try not to let the line slack, constantly keep the fish in tension, carefully reeling out the line, pulling the opponent to the shore, but do not let him go into the depths.
The carp must be brought to the surface, having tired it, the fishing rod must be lifted smoothly, without making sudden jerks. Afterwards the fish is brought into the landing net.
Choosing bait/bait and groundbait - what smells does carp like in spring?
In the spring, in order to stir up relatively passive fish, a large number of animal and plant baits and a variety of baits are used.
Corn
To catch carp in the spring, you can use corn in cans, which is sold in any supermarket. But in this case, there is a high chance that small things will fit onto the bait spot.
Steamed corn is also used to catch carp. The cooking recipe is as follows:
- the grains are soaked for a day in water;
- then you need to boil the corn in the same liquid for about 15 minutes;
- Then the container is removed from the stove, covered with a lid and steamed for about 2 hours.
The prepared bait is placed on a hair rig or 2-3 grains are put on a hook.
Hair snap is allied with corn
Polka dots
Peas are good to use when catching carp in the spring on a donk from the shore. Fishing is especially successful with the help of the Turkish type of this pea - chickpea. Its grains are larger than ordinary peas, and this is much better suited for targeted fishing for trophy carp. This bait simply cuts off small things.
The cooking recipe is as follows:
- The grains are poured into an enamel container.
- Soak in water for one night.
- Installed on the stove.
- Let it boil.
- Then put in a steam bath and cook for another 40 minutes.
Attention: you need to make sure that the skin on the grains does not crack.
Cake
This is the most popular vegetable bait for carp. When catching this fish, as a rule, you choose pieces measuring 5x10 cm, which are sawn off from a freshly squeezed circle.
These parts are tied to a lead plate, then hooks are attached to the crown on four sides. The bait gradually dissolves in the water, and the carp sucks it in simultaneously with the hooks.
Makushatnik
The top can not be used in sport fishing.
Potato
The cooking recipe is as follows:
- Large potatoes need to be peeled.
- Cook until half cooked (about 30 minutes).
- Then cut into small pieces (about 1 cm cube).
Advice! Experienced carp anglers treat the prepared bait with attractants and store it in bags in the refrigerator before fishing.
Mastyrka
This bait is prepared from ground peas and semolina. The peas are boiled for 2 hours, then the cereal is added and cooked until the mixture thickens, while the composition must be constantly stirred, otherwise lumps will form.
Recommendation: For catching wild carp using mastyrka, it can be used as bait balls.

Animal bait
For spring fishing for wild carp, it is imperative to prepare animal baits. To do this, you can choose any bait that is included in the regular “day menu” of this fish. The issue is that when used, they can attract a predator, which will scare the fish away from the proposed bait. However, if fishing takes place in a place where there are no large pikes or perches, then fishing can be quite effective.
In the spring, wild carp bite excellently on a dung worm, mounted on a hook in a bunch of 3-4 pieces, a cockchafer and dried shellfish meat. At the same time, the fish responds well to maggots, dragonfly larvae and other insects. However, these baits can attract a lot of “small things” and you don’t have to wait for a real trophy – a large carp.
The selected bait, which is already put on the hook, should be dipped into a liquid attractant. It's called deep. This smell attracts wild carp much more strongly.
The smell that will bring carp together is a dip for early spring:
Fishing for carp on the river
Catching a large carp is a reason for pride for the rest of your life. Fishing for carp on the river in summer is very productive. A bite from this powerful fish makes your heart beat faster, and fishing can be compared to a wrestling match. Anyone who experiences this will remember these moments forever.
Sazan is indeed a very strong opponent. To defeat him, you need to have nerves of steel and strong hands. It doesn't just resist, like its cultivated relative the carp. The force with which he pulls the tackle can confuse even experienced fishermen, let alone beginners. Usually, a person who hooks a carp for the first time is seized with real panic.
Erik or lake, estuary or pond
I have already written about catching carp up to two to three kilograms using a blind rig with a float. The basis of such fishing is the correct bait technique and the appropriate supply of equipment. But for some reason my comrades, who are passionate about feeder fishing, cannot boast of the presence of carp in their immodest catches on the same reservoir. Why immodest? Yes, because crucian carp, or, as we call it here, “dushman” (aka “spirit” or “croaker”), they catch it like a machine gun.
Make sure to fill the feeder with fragrant food - and just have time to hook it. But the carp doesn’t bite! Although there is a lot of it in the reservoir. We catch him on the first ice with “Devils”, he breaks the leads on a blind rig, his presence is recorded by an underwater camera!
When the carp bites
As soon as the water warms up to +17°C and above, the carp swims out from its wintering grounds and goes in search of food. Spawning begins at the end of May - beginning of June, so the fish stock up on nutrients for this period. It is after the spring warming that an intense pre-spawning feast occurs, so at this time the bites will be quite active, and you can get a good catch.
But after spawning, the fish is in no hurry to look for food, so you need to use bait to awaken its appetite and push it towards the baited hook. In summer, at very high temperatures, carp do not bite very well. But in September you can catch the maximum amount of fish, because the water is still quite warm, but not as hot as in summer.
Important! Rainy weather negatively affects the intensity of the bite, and before a thunderstorm it is strongest.
Towards the end of autumn, the intensity of bites decreases again, as the fish prepares for winter and tries to stay close to deep holes. As for the time of day, in the summer the most successful times for catching carp are early morning and late evening, but in the fall, before the water cools down, the fish can bite at any time.
