Reservoirs of the Far Eastern District

Two rivers flow through the territory of the Far Eastern Federal District, which are among the largest in the world. This is Lena and Cupid. The bulk of the region's smaller rivers belong to the basins of these two main rivers. Depending on the terrain, there are both mountain and lowland rivers in the Okrug. Thanks to this, travelers can choose suitable bodies of water for leisurely boat trips, as well as kayaking and canoeing of any difficulty level. The Far Eastern Federal District has the longest sea coastline in the Russian Federation. At the same time, the Pacific section (Japanese, Okhotsk, Beringovo seas) accounts for 3.5 thousand km, and the northern seas (East Siberian, Laptev and Chukotka seas) 5.5 thousand km.

Fishing in the Far Eastern Federal District

In the north of the Far Eastern Federal District, the main objects of commercial fishing and recreational fishing are salmon and salmon-like fish. These include sedentary species (grayling, lenok, whitefish), semi-anadromous and anadromous species (chinook salmon, coho salmon, chum salmon). In search of trophy fish, fishermen go on sea fishing, which is the most productive in the Sea of ​​Okhotsk basin, on the rivers of the mainland and island territories of the Okrug. In Vladivostok and Magadan, it is possible to rent a boat for boat trips and fishing. In a number of places you can catch squid. Fishing on the Amur is interesting because more than 160 species of fish live in the river, including more than two dozen species that are not found anywhere else in Russia. The most popular of them are the topgazer and yellowcheek. Despite the difficult weather conditions, winter fishing is also developed in the Okrug, which is carried out on the ice of rivers and lakes, as well as on frozen sea bays. Smelt, pike, and taimen are excellent for catching in winter. Organizing fishing requires knowledge of local peculiarities. To go fishing calmly and comfortably, the organization of the trip can be entrusted to a fishing and tourism company, which will select the most suitable body of water depending on the wishes of the customer, organize a transfer from the airport to the base, as well as transfer the client on site by car, boat, helicopter, pleasure boat or fishing boat sea ​​vessel, will select interesting excursions and entertainment.

Fishing for pelengas in the Far East

> Where to fish > Fishing in Russia and around the world > Fishing for pelengas in the Far East

The homeland of the pelengas is in the Far East, where this fish can reach 3 kg, a weight and a length of 70 cm. In the 60s of the last century, the pelengas was resettled in the Azov, Black, and Caspian seas, where the pelengas not only took root, but even overtook its Far Eastern brother in size. The weight of this fish often exceeds even 8-10 kg.

This fish belongs to the family of mullet fish, the class of ray-finned fish and the species of pelengas. Mainly caught using bottom and float gear, it is a popular object for underwater hunting. Valued for its high gastronomic qualities, pelengas meat is best consumed fried, baked or stewed.

In China, the pelengas are called xu-yu, and in Japan, maenads. In the Far East, most of the pelengas live in the Peter the Great Gulf, as well as in the Ussuri and Amur bays. The pelengas are distributed to the north, right up to the Amur estuary; the lifespan of this fish is about 10 years.

Pelengas, a semiconducting fish that leads a schooling lifestyle, has acclimatized especially well in the warm waters of the Black and Azov Seas, where it grows almost twice as fast as in its historical homeland.

To winter, the pelengas migrate to rivers in the fall, where they spend the entire winter in wintering pits. With the arrival of spring, it rolls back into the sea. The main diet of the pelengas consists of detritus and small benthic invertebrates.

The spawning period of the pelengas is May-June; it prefers to lay eggs in coastal areas. Pelengas is an unpretentious fish and tolerates both low water temperatures in winter and high temperatures in summer. In addition, this fish is very resistant to both salt water and fresh water. Sometimes pelengas are even grown in ponds.

Catching pelengas

, as a rule, on piers and embankments, this fish approaches them in search of food. The most catchy fishing for pelengas is at the end of summer and at the beginning of the autumn season. Underwater hunting for pelengas is also good; it is better to shoot this fish while lying in ambush in a shelter on the border of sand and stones at depths of 4-6 meters.

Pelengas has a spindle-shaped elongated body with a wide, strongly thickened head and two short dorsal fins. The eyes of the pelengas are orange, the rear edge of each scale has a dark spot.

Unlike other types of mullet, the back of the pelengas has a darker color, usually dark gray with a thick black tint. The belly and sides have a pronounced silver tint. The golden spot on the upper part of the gill cover, characteristic of most mullet species, is missing.

The taste preferences of pelengas in Primorye differ from the taste preferences of this fish in the Azov or Black Sea. However, it counts. That in any latitudes where this fish is common, its favorite delicacy is “nereis” - a sea worm.

How to catch pelengas

Fishing for pelengas in the Far East

, just like in the Azov and Black Seas, this is fishing from the shore. This is due to the fact that fish usually approach the coastal shallows in schools and feed there.

Having a boat, such fishing does not require a boat and this greatly simplifies the fishing process, however, to fish for pelengas you need to be well prepared.

As a rule, pelengas are caught with powerful long-range rods ranging from 3.5 m to 5 m in length. They are ideal for long-distance casting. The test weight of such a rod is usually from 100 to 200 grams. Pelengas is a shy and very cautious fish and will not let a fisherman get too close. This means that the farther the tackle is thrown, the greater the chances of the bearing being biting.

The rod is equipped with a powerful large reel size 5000-7000 with a low gear ratio. There must be at least 300 meters of fishing line on the reel spool. As a rule, this is a monofilament line with a cross-section of 0.30-0.45 mm. In addition, taking into account long-distance power casts, there is a need to use a shock leader made of fishing line with a cross-section of 0.5-0.6 mm. The length of the shock leader should be at least 3 rod lengths. If fishing is not done by hand, then the tackle is installed on a special stand; it holds the rod at an angle of 700 or 800.

At the end of the equipment, which is approximately 1.5 m long, a weight weighing 80-160 grams is mounted. On the other side of the equipment, a carabiner is attached, where the shock leader is mounted. Next, 2 leashes with a diameter of 0.3-0.35 mm are mounted on the fishing line, the length of the leashes is about 15 cm. As for hooks, pelengas are mainly caught on hooks No. 6-9, which have a long shank, on which cones or cylinders of polystyrene foam This way ensures good buoyancy of the bait in the water column. Typically, the foam pieces are colored green or red.

The color of such foam may be different in different places. Catching pelengas in the Far East

, usually carried out using green foam, many fishermen on the Azov Sea mainly use red. But in the Black Sea, local fishermen recommend painting the foam green or brown. But not in red. The Nereis (sea worm) has proven itself to be the best bait for catching pelengas. Such frequency worms are found in estuaries or silted areas of the sea. It is not easy to get such bait and fishermen prefer to keep such places a secret. However, you can purchase Nereis on the market without any problems.

To catch pelengas, it is best to select areas of the sea that are rarely visited by people, where there are sandbanks near the shore. Ideally, this fish should be caught where there are small bays and capes. These are exactly the places that shoals of pelengas like to visit.

When the bearing comes close to the shore. The fish often jumps out of the water or sticks its snout to the surface. At such moments, the sea water near the shore seems to be boiling from the fish accumulated there. It is in such places that you should cast bait. It is best to catch pelengas in the early morning. But pelengas can feed both during the day and in the evening.

The best time for catching pelengas begins in May and lasts until late autumn.
