Fishing in the North: main trophies and fishing spots

Residents of northern reservoirs

The northern part of the country is rich in water resources, many rivers flow here, and there are many natural lakes. In addition, fisheries are constructing artificial reservoirs for growing and fishing different types of fish.

There are a sufficient number of freshwater fish species in natural reservoirs; most often you can catch them completely free of charge. People go north mainly for predators, but peaceful species of decent size are also caught here.

Grayling

The cool waters of northern reservoirs have become a permanent place of residence for grayling, which is abundant in the local water area. They fish it with fly fishing and spinning gear. Fishing is also carried out in winter; ice fishing in the north for grayling can be more successful than in open water.

Fishing is done with artificial baits; fish respond well to:

small flies that look like caddisfly larvae;
small rotating spoons;
small oscillating spoons.

It is best to choose mountain rivers with a rocky bottom and clear water to catch grayling. There are especially many grayling in the reservoirs of the Arkhangelsk region, in the north of Karelia and in Yakutia.

Pike

Fishing in northern Siberia will become a place for catching very large specimens of this predator; the region’s reservoirs are capable of raising pike weighing up to 12 kg. It is fished throughout the year; fishing in open water is carried out with girders off the coast, as well as with spinning rods. You can lure pike by casting or trolling with the following types of bait:

large wobblers, the depth of which is determined depending on the time of year and the reservoir chosen for fishing;
copper-colored and large-sized vibrators, silver and gold ones will not work as efficiently;
large spinners, you should use spinners starting from No. 5 and larger;
soft silicone versions with a jig will also perform well; the weight and color are selected individually.

Poppers, spinner baits and garlands of wobblers will work well when trolling.

Perch

Locals rarely go fishing for perch; for them it is not a trophy. On the contrary, visiting fishermen get great pleasure from catching hefty perches. They are caught with spinning rods, using spinners or silicone baits with a jig or moving rig.

When catching perch in the northern regions, it is not necessary to use silicone from the edible series; the minke whale responds well to the most primitive options.

Burbot

You should go to the reservoirs for it at the end of winter, beginning of spring. It is during this period that the cod brother begins to feed especially actively and becomes less cautious. Fishing is done using bottom gear; the bait used is:

small-sized baitfish from a given reservoir;
lumpy purchased fish;
crustaceans.

Chicken liver would be a good option; local avid fishermen use this bait to catch the largest burbots.

Som

The region also fishes for bottom predators, and the most suitable time would be autumn. Spinning rods with high dough, as well as bottom gear, are used for catching. On a spinning blank, catfish are excellent for catching with dark-colored silicone baits, they will respond to a large spinner, and sometimes they will not disdain a wobbler.

Bottom gear is made from thick versions of the base and leader, hooks are selected large and of good quality, and the best options for bait are:

dead fish;
liver;
bunch of worms

The best time to go for catfish is at night.

Taimen

The most famous representative of the fish of the northern rivers is taimen; it is prohibited to catch it, as it is listed in the Red Book. All caught specimens are immediately sent back to the reservoir, only photos are taken as a souvenir.

crucian carp

Few locals make a living here by catching crucian carp, but for visiting crucian carp hunters this place is simply paradise. Crucian carp can be caught both on a float and on a feeder, and larger specimens will prefer bait and feeder tackle. Bait can be very diverse:

bloodworm;
worm;
maggot;
corn;
pearl barley;
dough;
mini boilies.

It is necessary to feed only using bottom gear, and even then not always; in the hottest time of the year, namely in July, no trick will help. The rest of the time, crucian carp will be caught just fine.

Carp

Carp fishing is thriving, fishing is interesting, and the results will definitely please you. You can catch a decent option using a feeder rod, using the following baits:

corn;
worm;
peas;
boilies;
mini boilies;
maggot;
dough;
artificial types of cereals.

The equipment should be made of high quality; a trophy carp can give a worthy rebuff to a fisherman.

Bream

Fishing for bream will bring a lot of pleasure, the main thing is to collect stronger gear and use the right bait. In the reservoirs of the northern region you can catch trophy specimens; bream weighing 3 kg is often caught. They fish it with a feeder and a bottom, using worms, maggots, and bloodworms as bait; the humpback will also respond to corn and peas.

Fishing on the Northern Dvina

A large waterway with a fast current and picturesque banks is the Northern Dvina. It is enough to sail a few hundred meters by boat to get acquainted with wonderful fishing spots near rifts, islands, and shoals. Depths are not constant. Fishermen should remember one thing: an ice crust covers the river already in November and persists until May.

The tributaries of the Northern Dvina are also famous for their fishing spots. Thus, Sukhona, Vaga, Pinega, Vychegdy and Yuga are ready to give the fisherman such types of fish as:

crucian carp and bream,
burbot and silver bream,
minnow and ide,
bleak and ruff,
pike and perch.

By the way, lampreys, salmon and even salmon are especially exotic in the waters of the Northern Dvina. And in the lower reaches there are even smelt and river flounder.

Any gear for fishing on the Northern Dvina is suitable. However, as elsewhere, float and bottom ones remain the most popular. The latter are especially in demand among fishermen who want to catch exceptionally respectable bream or crucian carp.

You can fish in the river and trolling. The pike here rarely surprises local fishermen with its size, but it forces guests to take pictures with almost every specimen caught.

As for bream, its active season begins in the second week of April. But this peak ends at the beginning of May, so anyone who wants to catch a “shovel” must make an effort. Bream is caught at this time using a regular worm. It's disappointing that the water is still murky, but this works to the advantage of the angler who doesn't need to camouflage.

May crucian fishing is a long-awaited time for local fishermen. After all, the fish are now kept in large schools, which means you can reel in a solid catch. They catch May crucian carp on a feeder, and put an ordinary worm on the hook. The feeder is not used. Since large bream can also covet such a bait, the angler should be vigilant in anticipation of a bite.

Winter fishing

Winter fishing in the north is characterized by catching large specimens of different species of fish. Pike and burbot are taken on girders; live bait is used as bait. Bottom tackle also works great; you can attract the attention of bream and crucian carp in the north with bloodworms and worms.

During freeze-up, the following is actively used:

large jig;
vertical spoon;
They also fish with a garland of jigs.

Donkeys are equipped with high-quality hooks, and in this region they do not use thin fishing lines, so as not to miss the trophy.

Fishing in the north is always excellent; you can come here on vacation just for fishing, or you can go with the whole family and see the beauty of these places, practically untouched by civilization.

Kola Peninsula

In this region, due to its accessibility, fishing is the main type of tourism: recreation centers have been built on reservoirs where boats and equipment are rented. There are passages for the use of personal transport, without disturbing the ecology of the areas, and there is a lot of fish. There are 2 types of quiet hunting: freshwater on rivers, lakes, and sea. The object of the first is salmon, the fishing season for which begins in May when it enters the upper reaches of streams to spawn. Features of fishing in non-salty waters:

The best places for fishing are areas with riffles and strong currents, rapids.
Morning and evening are traditionally the most favorable for biting. Cloudy weather promotes good hunting.
Fishing gear - spinning rod and spoon: salmon is a predator and hunts for small fish. The bait should not be too bright; the color of copper and brass is more attractive than a silvery sheen. The tee is attached to the bait with a separate rig.
In places where fish pass, a bite occurs already on the first cast. The absence of an event indicates the need to search for other directions away from the shore - the salmon are holding at depth.

Tackle must be strong - strong fish resist powerfully and for a long time. When hooking, the trophy is pulled to shallow water, picked up with a hook or by the gills.

ATTENTION! due to the refusal of the group there are free places for 12 people, from 08/29/2021 to 09/06/2021

Fishing in the North is the dream of every experienced and novice fisherman. In protected areas of the Ural region you can catch pike, perch, grayling, and burbot of unprecedented sizes and in significant quantities. youtu.be/NvZ4aLIocFI
