• Roach;
• Ide;
• Perch;
• Zander;
• Pike;
• vendace;

When the ice melts from the channels, fishermen postpone until next winter and begin to actively catch pike, the average size of which is up to 5 kilograms. She prefers to stay in streams, ditches and river channels at a depth of 1.5 meters. Fishing is good in channels whose width is in the range of 10–20 meters.

Lake Lacha

By mid-April, only small bee-eaters begin to be caught on spinning rods. Therefore, spinning rods fade into the background, as active fishing for linen begins in Arkhangelsk, the king of which is bream. Local experienced fishermen help track the movement of schools of bream, otherwise the bite will be inconsistent. Fishing for bream in the Arkhangelsk region continues until the beginning of the May days.

From May, crucian carp begin to catch on the hook. If fishing is carried out throughout the day, you can catch up to 4 fish, the weight of which is about two kilograms. When fishing for crucian carp, other types of fish related to leucorrhoea may also be hooked. Sometimes you come across small squirrels, but isn’t it better to release them?

Ide is also often caught by fishermen who come to Lache. If in summer it consistently bites on small spinners and wobblers, then in winter it responds well to jigs with a worm and small vertical spoons. The most promising places for catching it are considered to be the mouths of numerous tributaries.

Fishing in Arkhangelsk in winter

Winter fishing in the region belonging to the Northern Territory can be carried out in Arkhangelsk itself. Fishing within the city on the Northern Dvina is the most affordable option. But here the population of representatives of the ichthyofauna is declining every year. This is the merit of the enterprises that dump dirty waste into the Northern Dvina. While the ichthyofauna has not completely disappeared, you can catch perch and ruffe here, and if you are a professional fisherman, you will certainly catch whitefish and pike.

Winter fishing is successfully carried out in the forest lakes of the Arkhangelsk region: Izhmozero and Smerdye. In the first case, you will need a local guide. In the second case, it will not be needed, since Smerdye is located next to the M8 highway. There are no cold winds here, and the catch can consist of bream, bream, ruff, perch and roach.

Fishing on the White Sea

The third option for winter fishing is the White Sea. But this option is only for lovers of harsh romance: the wind is harsh, the cold is strong, like the local fish. What else do you need for breathtaking fishing? Perhaps nothing, this in itself is a real adventure that requires overcoming many difficulties. But in order to fish here, you must get to the fishing site in off-road vehicles and take with you the necessary equipment, then smelt and navaga will certainly catch on your hooks!

Summer fishing in the lakes of the Arkhangelsk region

Fishing in Arkhangelsk does not stop either in summer or winter. In the summer, anglers stop at the lake channels to catch a good pike, which bites well after the ice melts. Common specimens are pike weighing from 3 to 5 kilograms. At this time, pike remain at depth in narrow channels, in channels and ditches, streams, from where they are caught with a spinning rod. In mid-spring, pike fishing stops, but the active period of bream begins.

Pike is a common catch

High activity of bream is observed from mid-April to early May: only two weeks. The best bait during this period is a worm, and fishing is carried out by retrieving. In Arkhangelsk, in the spring they do not feed the fish, but only mark the places of their daily migration. In the spring in the Arkhangelsk region, the water is so muddy that there is no point in camouflaging: the bream will not notice you anyway.

Crucian carp and bream on the feeder

From mid-May, the active bite of crucian carp begins, which prefer to stay in a school. But the bite can be spontaneous, but local fishermen note that the May holidays always foreshadow a rich catch. The best way to catch crucian carp is with a feeder, but without a feeder. Worms are used as bait on hooks. At the end of May, both bream and crucian carp are caught using this tackle. Because of this, many people come to the lakes and channels, so you need to take care of places for fishing in the Arkhangelsk region in advance.
