Сhaika Creek :
Locals call Chaika, because of the name of an old abandoned camping site nearby, with shabby wooden houses standing since the days of USSR. Separated from the wide and moderately paced waterway by a small island, these narrow waters have a totally different dynamic with much faster current and a notably different fishing experience that comes with.
Nevertheless, the little river armlet is swarming with a large variety of different fish: from Caspian Roach and Common Bream to Zander, Asp and Wels Catfish.
Resting Waters :
Densely covered with lotuses and lily pads, it seems as if this still little lake is an aquatic pit-stop, where the hurrying current of Akhtuba River flows to fall into a tranquil slumber when tired from its incessant movement.
The lake’s calm aquatic depth hides a plentiful array of underwater inhabitants for an angler to hunt on: Blue Bream, Volga Pikeperch, Ide, European Carp, Chub and Northern Pike just to list a few.
Wide as the Russian Soul :
This beautiful fishing spot is situated on one of the vast and most spacious parts of the Akhtuba River. The broad open area surrounding this lovely riverside beach greets the traveler’s eyes with gradually sloping sandy shores overlooking a somewhat abrupt and cliffy opposite bank.
Enjoy this broad open space, as you indulge in catching Asp, Caspian Roach, Tench, Zeige, Silver Bream, Zander and many other fish inhabiting.
All Hail the Pioneers :
Further upstream, in the higher reaches of Akhtuba River, you will discover a lovely steak of a long-forgotten desolate beach that once belonged to an old summer camp for young and daring Soviet pioneers.
Ah, what an ambient place to spend the day out fishing for Zander, Northern Pike, Asp, and Wels Catfish.
Akhtuba's competitions included:
Roach Rider
Welcome to the aquatic splendor of the Russian Ahtuba River! It is here that you will be competing with other anglers in an epic float fishing showdown for the title of the Roach Rider!

Are you up for catching one of the most favorite game fish among hardcore Russian anglers? Then head on over to the wild Ahtuba River and compete with other anglers in catching all form and sizes of Ide to win by scoring the most points for having the biggest total weight of all the Ide in your Keepnet by the end of the competition!

Streaming Beauty. This lovely fishing spot is located right on a small charming stream, where it flows into the Tiber to join the mighty river’s powerful current. Just the perfect spot to enjoy a day of angling, as you fish these shallow waters for Creek Brown Trout, Grayling and European Chub.
