Ice drift on Ob started earlier than usual for two weeks. Water first tore the ice from the shores, made leads. When the water became too much and added the incoming ice from the Siberian rivers Biya and Katun, which, when combined together, give rise to the mighty Ob, happened motion of the ice, and then the whole array of ice carried downstream to the Novosibirsk reservoir. Fish, having big water, began migrating up the river to a second wave of floods came from the Altai mountains and Altai glaciers, go to the meadows to spawn.
Every year all the tributaries of the Ob comes in a large number of small but tasty fish that anglers look forward to. This Siberian Dace. Some Dace reach a length of 30 centimeters. Take in hand such a handsome man, and like a silver in the palm of your hand hold. The robust growth of Dace usually begins on the tenth day after the ice drift in the main river of Western Siberia, but with the fall of the water in the small rivers. At the end of June all of the fish slipping back to the Ob.
Dace manages to catch from the middle of April and in early may he’s joined by roach and small carp, depending on layer thickness from the upper reaches of small rivers, of ponds, which were opened in the dam to pass flood waters. It is not known what powers would be flooding this year, but last year many paid the reservoirs were covered with the Ob water, and the fish are bred in them, went into the river. So, to the delight of anglers Altai, began to get on carp fishing rods, carp, channel catfish and even a trout, which in the Siberian rivers are not inhabited.
It is expected in the current year is an interesting season, but has all anglers are configured to Dace, because the Obi is spring water the color of coffee with milk, and to fish in troubled waters can only be solved by poachers. By the way, this season a lot of assistants to the inspectors of fisheries. Before the start of the month another week, and many of the approaches to the water tested in advance. Law-abiding anglers this step inspectors understand, and the poachers who is not even in the car trunk find network make protocols.
On The Barnaulka
In the provincial centre of Altai reconstruction of the bridges over an urban river Barnaulka, a lot of noise, but anglers on the river a lot. Float and bottom fishing rods catch going up over the roach and Dace. The lure on these deep, reminiscent of a mountain river reservoirs are not needed, even roll it into the clay, he almost immediately will be carried downstream. In principle, the lure is not needed, the fish goes in such numbers that they catch her all the fishermen are on the river.
For some reason we often compare what was before and what is now. Before the mouth of the river was open, and the fish came fearlessly for several kilometers upstream. On a single rod, a piece of a worm, dressed on a small hook, catch ten kilograms of fish in the morning until noon. Would have caught more, but the cages were Packed, and the fish quickly in close quarters asleep. Now Dace comes into the Barnaulka many times less than before. The mouth of the river encased in a concrete embankment built high-rises, and often in the river are dumped with a variety of urban industries located on the banks of the spawning pond.
Last year on the rise on the hill within the city turned over almost level ground the fuel truck, and fifteen tons of diesel fuel went into storm sewers and thence together with the reagents, by the way, they dumped fifteen tons, all gone in suffering the Barnaulka. If before the incident the fish caught, after the accident, it simply did not. There were reports that he saw dead fish at the junction of the river with the Ob, but it went unheeded by the city, the media and the public.
Concerns on this spring did not materialize, the fish went into the river, and the peak of fish have, as usual, at the end of April, when the water warms up a little and the fish will become more active. Now trying after a five-month freezing period to enjoy the first bites.
On the Barnaulka catch Dace on the float rod in the wiring or a ground rod. On a Donk sometimes do not have time to throw in the water nozzle, but the effect of the bite is not so pronounced. But on a float see the bite and make cutting at the moment when the float disappears under the water. Three or four dozen Dace for a few hours in the evening on a city river suggests that the river still alive, and the fish goes upstream for procreation.
In the second wave of flood, when water comes from the mountains, to go river bream and IDE. Reset after each fish goes back to the Ob, but the fishermen are sitting on the plates waterfront in the hope that the fish will appear, and will be able to compete with the pound bream and IDE in the heart of the city, close to public transport. Mostly anglers on the Barnaulka appear early in the morning and in the evening, after work and during the day the river is resting, and on the waterfront to meet tourists citizens and guests of our city.
Back to reconstruction of bridges. Substantial funding has been allocated to create recreational areas, and will be very sad, if you avoid the river side, does not clear its mouth at the junction with the Ob and will not prosper Bank. In the example of the Tomsk city the river Ushaika, which after the creation of the embankment on the river Tom ‘ has become a favorite place for residents and Tomsk fishing enthusiasts.
