general characteristics

In Transbaikalia there are a huge number of large and small rivers where you can very effectively catch a wide variety of fish. However, the region as a whole is characterized by one serious problem - due to underdeveloped infrastructure, not all reservoirs can be easily reached.

One of the most effective vehicles that can solve this problem is a boat with a motor, however, in the summer, when the water level is low in almost all bodies of water, the boat is not able to pass everywhere. On the other hand, there are a sufficient number of deep rivers, any point of which can be reached without problems with this craft.

The most productive time for fishing in Transbaikalia is autumn. At this time of year, fish, preparing for the cold winter, are very willing to go to artificial baits. Therefore, at this time there is a real paradise for anglers using spinning rods.

Fish in Transbaikalia have significant differences in species composition from fish not only in the rivers of Europe, but also in Western Siberia. Species such as taimen, lenok and grayling predominate in local reservoirs. However, one should not think that there are no fish here at all, characteristic of the middle zone; In the reservoirs of Transbaikalia you can find pike, perch, carp and burbot.

Among the characteristic “local” fish, the most interesting prey is taimen. This strong fish is an uncompromising predator, nicknamed the “Amur shark”.

Its weight can reach 70 kg, and its dimensions can reach up to 2 m. Taimen are caught using a spinning rod using various spoons or artificial “mouse” baits, which got their name because of the appearance of this rodent swimming on the surface of the water. Taimen usually hides in ambush behind some large obstacle, from where it attacks its potential victim.

Not all fishermen are able to catch taimen. Taimen has such a powerful grip that in the first moments of fishing it, it is absolutely impossible to reel in the fishing line - the clutch only gives it away. Naturally, fish of this class require extra-heavy class rods.

Another interesting fish of Transbaikalia is lenok. Lenka is much smaller than taimen; The maximum recorded weight of the caught fish is about 8 kg with a length of about 70 cm.

Lenok moves mainly in small flocks, although it hunts in approximately the same way as taimen - attacking alone from an ambush.

Grayling fishing is no less popular in Transbaikalia.

Grayling is a relatively small fish that rarely weighs more than 6 kg, and its length does not exceed 50 cm.

Grayling is also caught mainly with spinning rods, but fishing rods are also often used. In this case, small baits such as flies or streamers are used; the advantage of the latter is that it can be used to fish both fly fishing and using a spinning rod.

In spring, most fish travel along deep rivers to spawn in the upper reaches. This movement is carried out in large schools, while the fish continue to actively and feed a lot, and, naturally, are also excellently caught.

In the summer, when the water level drops significantly and the fish return from spawning grounds to their usual habitats, the bite is significantly worse. However, the short period of summer quickly gives way to autumn and the intensity of the bite returns to the state familiar to fishermen.

But one should not think that fishing in this region freezes in winter. Despite the harsh winters, active fishing is carried out in Transbaikalia and from under the ice. Despite severe frost and a thick layer of ice (sometimes reaching up to 1 m), there is no fish kill in winter, since the flow in the rivers remains constant. It is in winter that a significant share of the catch of pike, burbot, dace, grayling and perch occurs.

Fishing in Transbaikalia, especially in winter, requires a very serious level of training and technical support. For example, for winter fishing, the presence of a motor drill or chainsaw is often mandatory.

Tourists and fishermen come here!

One of the oldest and truly romantic sports - fishing - is practiced by millions of people. This activity gives a person a wonderful and necessary rest, strengthens him, teaches him to love and take care of nature, develops observation, courage and determination - exactly what is always necessary in life.

A lot of literature has been published about fishing, but it mainly describes the rivers and lakes of central Russia. As they say, these books are “not about our tale.” After all, in our harsh Transbaikalia, mountain rivers with cold and clear water predominate, and the fish found in them is different. So in this book I want to give the reader some practical advice on sport fishing in our conditions, primarily for young and novice amateur fishermen.

The area of ​​Transbaikalia is 438.8 thousand square kilometers - a fiftieth of the entire territory of the Soviet Union. Our vast region is a predominantly mountainous country, unusually rich and varied in its beauty. In the reservoirs of the region you will find more than twenty species of fish, among which the most valuable are taimen, lenok and grayling.

As you know, fish migrate in search of food, that is, they move from one end of the reservoir to the other, so the amateur fisherman first of all needs to become familiar with the features of the reservoir, systematically observe the movement of fish in order to find catchable places. It is also necessary to know that fish in rivers do not live along the entire channel, but in certain places, that during migrations they do not move in a solid wall and not evenly, but as if along special water paths. Therefore, the rise and fall of the fish directly depends on the nature of the channel, the depth and speed of the river flow. For example, the upper part of the reach, as a rule, is deep, there are favorable conditions for large fish to live here, the middle part of the reach has a calmer current, and smaller fish usually accumulate near the shores: chebak, minnow and sorog. Such funny cases often happen: two fishermen sit next to each other with exactly the same gear, but one of them often hooks and brings fish ashore, while the second’s floats are dead, one caught more than a dozen good fish, and the second sat on the shore in vain for several hours. These cases once again confirm that a good catch comes from those who know how to select a bait, attach it correctly to the hook and know where to throw it. For such a skill, you need to sit through more than one dawn with a fishing rod or walk dozens of kilometers along the shore with a spinning rod.

Fishes of Transbaikalia

It is well known that the organism and the environment in which it lives are inextricably linked, mutually influencing each other on Apyfa. Of course, this also applies to fish. It must be borne in mind that with strong winds and low temperatures after rains, the oxygen content in the water increases and at the same time the well-being of the fish and its bite improves.

The fish sees well - in clear water at 10-12 meters. An angler dressed in colorful clothing and standing on the shore or fishing in a wade will be visible to fish at a distance of approximately 7-9 meters.

The fish reacts to sound signals. For example, a catfish rises to the surface after hearing the sound of a wooden mallet hitting an empty barrel. In winter, perch follows the sound made by an ice pick when hollowing out a hole.

But not all sounds attract fish. If the bottom is rocky or large-pebble and the spoon hits the stones, then don’t expect a predator’s grip. And if the bottom is sandy, then as soon as you touch it not only with the spoon, but also with the anchor, you will feel the impact of the bite.

Once I was fishing with a spinning rod on Ingoda. It was a nice spring day. It was drizzling - a good time to hunt lenok. I’ve already caught five lenkas, and on the next cast I feel a dull blow and - a four-kilogram taimen sits at the anchor. I put him on a kukan and lower him into the water near the shore. He, feeling the bondage, begins to beat. Then I threw the lure for more than an hour - all to no avail. But as soon as I took the taimen out of the water with the kukan onto the shore, into the shady side of the bird cherry bush, literally a few minutes later the lenok’s grip resumed - I caught nine more pieces. This fact confirms that the fish heard the taimen tossing and turning on the kukan.

In Transbaikalia, most fish spawn in May-June, with some deviations depending on the weather. Only burbot spawns at the end of December - beginning of January: the so-called sub-ice spawning. In some fish species, during the pre-spawning period, their appetite increases; they seem to stock up on food for the duration of spawning. After spawning, the zhor resumes with the same force. Pike, carp, and lenok get sick after spawning, and their hunger returns after 7-12 days. And, for example, grayling and perch do not have a break in their feeding. Some fishermen believe that winds do not affect fish nutrition. We cannot agree with this. If the banks are covered with bushes and trees hanging over the water, then the wind blows various insects from them. Falling into the water, they become food for fish; there will always be a good meal near such shores. On lakes, where strong winds create a surf that washes a lot of different nutrients from the bottom and washes them to the shore, large fish always accumulate.

When the water rises, it washes away the banks, trees and bushes - resulting in landslides and screes. Everything that is in the ground and on the trees ends up in the water - insects and worms, pupae and rodents, especially mice. This is a tasty food for taimen, pike and lenok. When, say, it rains in the upper reaches of the Ingoda, muddy water rolls down the riverbed. There was no precipitation in the middle and lower reaches, where clean rivers flow into the Ingoda - Kruchina, Nikishikha and Olengui. Therefore, during this period there is clean water at the mouths of tributary rivers. And at the border of muddy and fresh water a lot of fish accumulate, they bite well.

During a decline in water, the nutrition of the fish noticeably deteriorates. And only when a normal level is established, the fish begin to gather again in places rich in food. During thunderstorms and heavy rains, the bite temporarily stops, but as soon as the rain stops and the bright sun peeks out from behind the clouds, the hunger intensifies. In inclement weather, when the sun is completely covered by clouds and it drizzles from time to time, the water temperature becomes uniform and the bite improves noticeably.

Salmon fish - taimen, lenok, grayling - prefer clear and cold water with a small amount of nutritious salts. Such reservoirs usually have a rocky or pebble bottom, with poorly developed vegetation. The fish here reach their largest sizes. On Ingoda, amateur fisherman from Ulet Petr Kuzmin caught lenok weighing 7.5 kilograms, and taimen weighing 20-25 kilograms is not uncommon in Ingoda. In Onon, such large taimen were caught by Chita residents Andrei Kaveshnikov, Vadim Selyutin, Valentin Grishin.

The age of a fish can be determined by knowing that every year an age ring forms on the circumference of the scales. Basically, fish grow in summer; in winter, its growth seems to stop. For example, lenok grows by one hundred grams annually, taimen by a whole kilogram, pike by 500-600 grams.

Fishing on the lakes of Transbaikalia

3

Separately, we should talk about the lakes of Transbaikalia. Their number is huge and describing even the main ones can take a lot of time, so the lakes will be presented in geographical groups.

Steppe lakes

Located in the south of the region. First of all, it should be noted that the largest are Barun-Torey and Zun-Torey, with an area of ​​600 and 260 square meters. km respectively. Despite the fact that their area significantly depends on the amount of precipitation, they contain a large number of different fish: pike, spiked fish, taimen, perch, goby, burbot, etc.

Lake Kenon

An interesting body of water, convenient primarily because it is located on the outskirts of the city of Chita (which is home to a third of the residents of the Trans-Baikal Territory), which greatly simplifies the ability to get to it. Naturally, such a reservoir is very popular.

The area of ​​Kenon is almost 1500 hectares, the nature of the bottom is sand and pebble. One of the interesting inhabitants of Kenon is the golden crucian carp - a large (up to 3 kg) fish whose taste is practically no different from river carp. In addition to this, the lake contains:

• perch;
• chebak;
• catfish;
• pike;
• White amur.

Northern lakes

As the name suggests, they are located in the north of the region. Most of them are located in the remote taiga, and getting to them is not easy. The most famous are Arey, Tanga and Nikolaevskoye. On the shore of the first, located a few kilometers from the village of Salia, there is even some semblance of a tourist town, since its water is considered healing.

In all three lakes there are golden crucian carp, pike, and chebak.

Beklemishevskie lakes

This group of lakes also has another name: Ivano-Arakhleiskaya. They are located near the Yablonovy Ridge, located approximately 80 km from Chita. There are quite a lot of lakes here:

• Ivan;
• Tasey;
• Arakhlei;
• Shaksha;
• Big and Small Undugun;
• Irgen;
• Kirandinka.

On the Beklemishevsky lakes there are:

• perch;
• pike;
• crucian carp;
• bulus;
• chebak;
• Baikal ide;
• Amur catfish;
• carp;
• chir;
• peled;
• and many others.

There is a good road to the lakes and the number of fishermen coming here is increasing every year.

Gazimur Lakes

These reservoirs are located in the Nerchinsky Range. These include the following lakes:

• Kudikanskoe;
• Ubienskoye;
• Round;
• Herbaceous;
• Kadymskoe;
• and etc.

The lakes have shores abundantly covered with forest vegetation. Despite this, the approaches to the lakes are good. Mostly large crucian carp are caught on the Gazimur lakes.

Reservoirs of the Trans-Baikal Territory

The largest rivers in the region are Gazimur, Kalar, Ingoda, Shilka and Nercha. Their length is more than 500 km. The Amur begins here. Most of the region's rivers are relatively small, but during floods and after freezing, many of them can be of interest to amateur fishermen. The uniqueness of the lakes of the Trans-Baikal Territory is that they form interconnected systems. Vivid examples of such systems are the Ivano-Arakhlei system of lakes, as well as the Torey lakes. The largest lake of the first water system is Arakhlei. The second system includes lakes Zun-Torey and Barun-Torey, which flood widely during rainfall and spring melting of ice, and by the end of summer they can dry up completely. If you don’t want to travel far from Chita, then you can visit the Karpov Lakes. They are relatively small, the banks are not well-maintained, but are ideal for outdoor recreation and fishing. You can also pay attention to Lake Kenon.

Fishing in the Trans-Baikal Territory | Popular Fishing Spots

Fishing is good on Lake Nichatka. Here you can catch Salmon fish, as well as Burbot, Davatchan, Shipovka, Goby, and Perch. But Lenok, Ide and Grayling are considered the most common in the region.

It is worth visiting for lovers of natural healing Lake Arey, which is located between the Yablonev and Malkhansky ridges. The reservoir contains a high content of all kinds of useful elements. Local mud is recognized as healing.

The main thing that is found in local reservoirs:

Rotan firebrand;

Snakehead;

Yellowcheek;

Squeaky killer whale;

Auha;

Kaluga.

Excellent Fishing Awaits Big Catch Lovers on the Menza River. Found here:

Grayling;

Taimen;

Catfish;

Professionals advise stopping at the mouths of inflowing rivers and streams. The use of large motor boats is not recommended due to the huge number of rapids and rifts.

Tourists can also visit a local historical landmark – the site of an ancient man.

The Shilka River is almost a record holder for the diversity and volume of fish. Killer whales, beluga, and chum salmon visit it from the Amur.

Fans of Spinning will get hefty sturgeon.

Gear selection

Transbaikalian waters are home to up to 140 species of fish, which can easily make up the catch of a successful fisherman. Here you can find burbot, bream, dace, chebak, catfish, whitefish, silver carp, and carp.

In the cold, long spring, the fish sink to the bottom of reservoirs and do not notice the bait. When the ice completely melts, the water warms up, and the fish begin to actively feed. During this period, fishing is the most productive.

The choice of gear depends on many factors:

• fishing object;
• depth of the reservoir;
• features of the coastline;
• current speed;
• seasonal conditions.

The most versatile gear is spinning rods; they are suitable for many types of fishing. When selecting them, you should take into account large fish; such a catch is not uncommon in the waters of Transbaikalia.

Rotating and oscillating spoons can serve as bait. Fly fishing and ordinary fishing rods are also used as gear. Let's take a closer look at catching the most common fish species in this region.

Taimen

Fish is considered the hallmark of Transbaikalia, it is so popular. Taimen is best caught in the fall using large spinners and spinning rods. At dusk and in rainy weather, the predator goes hunting, at which time its activity increases. When fishing within the city of Chita, it is enough to use a rod with a length of 1.5-2 m. For wilder bodies of water in the region, it is better to take a spinning rod with a size of at least 2.8 m.

Successful catching of taimen is carried out using a “mouse”. The bait, like a living rodent, swims across the river, attracting the predator with its movement. It takes a lot of effort to catch a large taimen - having swallowed the hook, the fish desperately resists.

Grayling

The best season for grayling fishing is spring. The fish loves fast currents and is well caught in the waters of moving rivers. It is smaller than lenok and taimen, and bites well on a spinning rod, fly fishing rod and float rod. Flies, streamers, and live bait are used as bait. Grayling is easy to catch from a boat, but shore fishing for this fish is also amazing.

Perch, pike

To catch predators of these species, you will need a strong fishing rod with thick fishing line (0.35 mm), a powerful float and a leash with a maximum length of 50 cm.

To fish for pike, you should stock up on small fish, as predators are caught using live bait.

Roach

It is better to catch roach using several tackles at once, using a fishing rod with a side nod and a pair of floats. They should be light but reliable, with a line thickness of no more than 0.18 mm. You should not choose a jig that is too heavy or too light; here you need a middle ground. You need to lower it into the water column smoothly, as deep as possible, then gradually raise it, attracting fish with leisurely movements.

Review of fishing spots

Transbaikalia is rich in fishing spots - rivers, lakes, clean streams, which are home to a huge amount of fish. Amateur and sport fishing does not stop throughout the year.

Rivers

On the territory of Transbaikalia there are concentrated many rivers of different sizes (about 45 thousand). They all quickly carry their cold waters. But even in a turbulent current, you can always find calm areas in which the water actually freezes.

Quiet backwaters are the best refuge for many species of fish.

Amur

The length of the Amur River is 2824 km, the basin occupies 1,855,000 sq. km. It is one of the ten longest rivers in the world. At the mouth its width reaches 15 km. The waters of the Amur are home to 140 species of different fish. The most popular inhabitants include silver carp, snakehead, topgazer, whitefish, and yellowcheek. The river is home to beluga, sturgeon, grass carp, chum salmon, and even creaking killer whales.

Shilka

Shilka is formed by the connection of the Ingoda and Onon rivers. This is the region’s most saturated river with fish; you can even catch sturgeon with a spinning rod. Chum salmon, beluga and a lot of other valuable fish enter Shilka from the waters of the Amur.

The diversity of aquatic inhabitants is facilitated by suitable conditions created for them by bays, shallows, and sand spits. The shilka in different parts of its channel can carry fast and cold waters or have warm, warmed-up shallow areas with standing water. Therefore, the river contains species of fish with different habits; almost all representatives of the ichthyomir living in the waters of Transbaikalia are present here.

Fishing on the river is allowed everywhere, with the exception of the area near Ust-Karsk.

Onon

The length of the mountain-steppe river is 550 km. In the spring, when the waters overflow, it occupies the entire lowland, where many river inhabitants come. During this period, it is not difficult to catch a large catfish or carp. Dozens of Transbaikalia rivers flow into Onon, feeding it with their waters. The coastline is unclear, dotted with channels and bays, which become convenient habitats for various representatives of aquatic fauna. The river is home to sturgeon, grayling, carp, taimen, pike, and sometimes beluga comes from Shilka.

Argun

The length of the river is 907 km. The Argun, with its ornate channel and opaque fast waters, forms islands, shoals, and river bays. The river is considered the most fishy in the entire region.

All aquatic inhabitants of Transbaikalia are found here.

Khilok

The river stretches for 850 km along the southern borders of the region. It is inhabited by whitefish, silver carp, carp, goby, ide, and perch.

Lakes

The lakes of Transbaikalia constitute a multi-structured group of interconnected water bodies. This allows fish to migrate from one habitat to another. The places are beautiful, virtually untouched, but many bodies of water are very difficult to get to. We offer an overview of the most popular lakes in Transbaikalia.

Arakhlei

The largest lake in the Ivano-Arakhlei Lakes system, its width is 14 km. Fishing here takes place throughout the year. From the bottom of the reservoir, many cold springs feed, so the water in it is clear and cool.

In these waters you can catch large pike, Amur carp, perch, crucian carp, and chebak.

Shaksha

The lake is located in the Chita region near the village of Shakshi and is the second largest reservoir of the Ivano-Arakhlei lake group. In the last century, Shaksha was considered the most fishy place in the region; today the number of fish has decreased significantly. But the presence of boats on the surface of the water has not decreased. The lake is home to carp, catfish, bream, broadmouth, omul, and peled. Ice fishing is well organized in winter. Fishing with seines, hooks and nets is prohibited.

Nichatka

The name translates as “fish lake” and fully justifies itself. Nichatka cannot boast of being large in size, but it is one of the deepest and cleanest bodies of water. No one has ever returned from these places without a catch. The lake is inhabited by goby, pike, taimen, whitefish, davatchan, spikefish, grayling, as well as various types of salmon fish.

Kenon

The lake is located in the Ingoda River basin, located on the outskirts of the large city of Chita. Due to its availability, it is very popular among fishermen. The area of ​​the reservoir occupies 1500 hectares, its depth is 5-6 m with holes up to 12 m. Springs gush from the bottom of the lake, saturating the water with oxygen. A large amount of food contributes to the presence of many species of aquatic inhabitants with large body masses here. The lake is home to grass carp, perch, and chebak.

Fishing is allowed without using nets.

Forbidden fish

The fishing rules in the Trans-Baikal Territory prohibit fishing for the following species (with the exception of catching Baikal omul from the ice cover of Lake Baikal using a drill fishing rod) fish:

• sturgeon species of fish;
• nelma;
• tench;
• taimen in the Angara River, Lake Baikal basin;
• Lenka in the Angara River, Lake Baikal basin;
• Baikal seal, including Kumutkan puppies;
• tugun in the Angara River;
• arctic char;
• Baikal omul in Lake Baikal and the rivers flowing into it (including their tributaries).

It is prohibited to catch Baikal omul, grayling, lenok, taimen, whitefish, pike during the prohibited periods

Daily fish catch rates in the Trans-Baikal Territory

The daily rate of production (catch) of aquatic biological resources (except for the case where such aquatic biological resources are subject to a permanent or temporary ban on production (catch) during recreational fishing) for each citizen during recreational fishing is indicated in the table:
Permitted amount of fish caught per day

Important. If the total daily norm is exceeded, the extraction (catch) of aquatic biological resources is stopped.

In case of violation of the Fishing Rules in accordance with Part 2 of Art. 8. 37 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation provides for administrative liability in the form of imposing an administrative fine on citizens in the amount of 2,000 to 5,000 rubles with or without confiscation of the vessel and other equipment for extracting (catching) aquatic biological resources. Responsibility for fish poaching is established by the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (Article 256 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation).
