ᐉ Inya (Altai Territory) - a place for a fisherman

Fishing on the Inya River in the Altai Territory

In the Altai Territory there are many reservoirs with their regulars, I mean fish - crucian carp, perch, roach, pike, etc. These fish, as a rule, are what fishermen need to “take their soul away”.
But the heart still requires something more, for example, to catch a noble fish - grayling. For which you have to go to the mountains, sometimes for most fishermen such a road to fishing spots is not a short distance and costs a pretty penny. We will talk about one such place; it is located in the Krasnoshchekovsky district of the Altai Territory, near the village of Chineta. And finally, about the reservoir itself, this is a fish river in the literal sense of the word - the Inya . You can see this area in more detail on the map.

The three of us went fishing after work on Friday, September 16, in our dear VAZ “nine” for two days. Our route from Barnaul along which we went to the place of grayling fishing on the Inya River passed through the city of Aleysk - the village. Krasnoshchekovo, village Karlovo, s. Maralikha, then through the pass, a suspension bridge over the Charysh River and before reaching about 4 km to the village. Chineta, we arrived at the Inya River already after dark. Upon arrival, after dinner, we went to bed in our previously deployed tents and sleeping bags. Keep in mind that nights are always colder in mountainous areas. The name of the river is not unique and there are several rivers in Russia in different regions with this name. Our Altai River Inya is a tributary of the Charysh River.

The Inya River of the Altai Territory cut its path through the mountains and now flows among the Altai mountain range. What such rivers are rich in is, of course, grayling and taimen. The thing is that these noble fish love clean and cold water. The current is stormy and fast, the river is not deep and not wide, but few people dare to cross to the other side. The current sweeps you off your feet. To get to the opposite side you need to have a boat with you.

Inya River

The Inya River originates from the southern slopes of the Taradanovsky ridge and winds for almost 533 km through the densely populated forest-steppes of the Belovsky, Leninsk-Kuznetsky and Promyshlenny districts, and goes to the Novosibirsk region. The Inya is a typical lowland river; it has a well-developed valley with many oxbow lakes and floodplain lakes, and flows into the Ob River. In total, 32,109 rivers flow through the territory of Kuzbass with a total length of 245,152 km. All rivers belong to the Ob River basin, which ranks first in Russia in terms of drainage area. Six rivers of Kuzbass flow through the territory of two or more constituent entities of the Russian Federation - Tom, Inya, Kiya, Yaya, Chulym, Chumysh. Four main water basins are formed on the territory of the region: the river. Tom, b. Inya, b. Chulym, b. Chumysh, which are rivers of federal significance. Due to the characteristics of the relief, climate, and geological conditions, the river network is not evenly developed and is divided into rivers of the plain and mountain types. The Tom and Inya rivers are the main surface sources of water supply in the Kemerovo region.

Inya River. The right tributary of the Ob, the Inya River, originating from the southern slope of the Taradanovsky ridge, is a typical lowland river of the Kuznetsk steppe and forest-steppe. Its length is 663 km. It has a well-developed valley with many oxbow lakes, floodplain lakes and meanders. Several rivers flowing from the Salair Ridge flow into the Inya: Bolshoy and Maly Bachata, Ur, Kasma, Izyla, etc. Near the village of Inskoye, not far from the city of Belovo, a dam was built on the Inya River, which made it possible to create a reservoir here - the so-called Belovskoe Sea — and a recreation area on its shore. The reservoir is an excellent water reservoir for breeding valuable fish species. The right bank of the Inya is steeper and higher than the left bank for a considerable distance; terraces are observed along the banks of the river.

In spring, the Inya and its tributaries overflow heavily, reaching a width of 3 km or more. Rounding the Taradanovsky ridge on the western side, Inya makes several meanders and takes a northwestern direction. The northern spurs of the Salair Ridge turn it to the west, and it goes to the Novosibirsk region, where it flows into the Ob River near Novosibirsk. Inya originates from the southern slopes of the Taradanovsky ridge and winds for almost the entire 533 km through the densely populated forest-steppe of parts of the Belovsky, Leninsk-Kuznetsky and Promyshlennovsky districts, and, having gained strength, goes to the Novosibirsk region. There she is received by the mighty Ob. The river wakes up from its winter slumber early, in mid-April, and freezes in early November.

Fishermen love to be on the shores; Inya gave many happy moments of great fishing success. And now perches are robbing its holes, pikes are basking in the coastal sedge, hiding, and burbot are gaining fat in coastal burrows and under stones. It’s not for nothing that the village of Lebedi stands on its shore, which means that these fabulous birds were here too, there were forests, and it’s not for nothing that it’s called Berezovo, Ust-Sosnovo. On its way, Inya collects the waters of many small rivers flowing from the Salair ridge and its foothills: Ur, Kasma, Tarsma, Izyly. Ur is narrow in its banks, but deep. These and many nameless rivers “supply” Inya with fish, and ducks nest in the willow thickets and adjacent swamps.

Grayling fishing on the Ina

Grayling bites on the Ina in summer and autumn until freeze-up. In November, when the ice edge appears along the banks, there are more grayling the river And only in November grayling weighing a kilogram or more is caught It is caught by fly fishing at the top of the water, and with spinning rods (fishing rods) with a Tyrolean stick and with a tackle with flies, which local fishermen for some reason call “ bulda ”. You should not compare this tackle with the tackle of the same name for perch fishing.

Our fishing began at dawn on Saturday morning. The weather was great and blessed us with sunshine for two days. There was no fly fishing gear in our arsenals. We fished with spinning rods with Tyrolean sticks and white and yellow flies, with periodic changes to spinning rods with a loaded “buldo”, on which the same flies .

Tackle for fishing grayling on the Inya River

A little about gear. Spinning rods for grayling fishing should be ultra light or light. The main fishing line on spinning rods is ∅ 0.16 mm braid, on leashes with flies the usual (Japanese) fishing line is ∅ 0.22 mm, inexpensive flies in different colors. When there are flies of different colors on the bulldozer, it is easier to understand what color flies are preferable to grayling.

It happens that in the course of one day, first he takes one bait, then another. Or, on the contrary, he actively grabs the same flies. For us, the best working baits for grayling were white and yellow flies. Within an hour after dawn, at least a dozen fish were flopping around in the cages.

Balda for grayling on the Inya River

The “balda” float is made of dense foam or wood.
At the very bottom of the float, a weight equal to half the weight of the float is attached to add weight. For a float, the load is very important, otherwise there will be no proper line tension and sensitivity to the grayling bite. A hole is drilled in the central part of the float with a slope for the passage of the fishing line. The fishing line is passed through the float into an inclined hole and tied to a ring. The ring is a screw with a ring. The number of leashes with flies varies from 2 to 4 pieces and depends on the length of the spinning rod; the longer it is, the more leashes you can install. A short spinning rod is not convenient for casting tackle with more than 2 leads.

The length of the leashes is 10 - 15 cm. They are placed at intervals of 20 - 50 cm from the float. Triple swivels are used to attach leashes to the main fishing line. But there is another way. Two beads for stopping (2) are attached to the main line of the “bald” (1). A small button with two holes (3) is placed in the middle; the main fishing line is passed through one of them, and the other is used to attach the leash (4). The leashes are equipped with flies or real insects. This gear is exactly what you need for catching grayling on fast rivers, which includes the Inya .

You need to throw the tackle upstream. Periodically twitch the line and constantly monitor the float. The distance of descent downstream is 100-150 m. After that, the tackle is pulled towards you and thrown back again.

How does the grayling bite on the “balda” happen?

When a grayling bites on a “balda,” it feels like it occurs with a sharp blow and a pull. With a good bite, it is not uncommon to be caught on each leash at the same time.

Tackle for grayling with a Tyrolean stick on the Inya River

The tackle with a Tyrolean stick is simple; you can make it on your knees in 10 minutes with all the components. The diagram shows what the tackle consists of, as well as all the necessary dimensions and distances.

Tackle with a Tyrolean stick, unlike the “balda”, catches in the lower layers of the river, and the Tyrolean stick itself rolls along the rocky bottom without snags.

What gear is used to catch grayling?

The rod should be light or ultra-light, fishing line 0.22 mm thick, multi-colored inexpensive flies.

To understand which color of bait the fish prefers, several of them are attached to the beam. Grayling is capricious in its choice.

Over a short period of time, he can repeatedly change his preferences regarding baits or choose the same ones.

Since the Inya is a fast river, the leashes are equipped with real insects. This is the most optimal gear option for this type of current.

Fishermen often use a tackle called a Tyrolean stick. It is very easy to make.

If a boom, a foam or wooden float with an attached load, has proven itself well in the upper layers of water, then the Tyrolean stick is lowered almost to the bottom.

These two devices showed themselves well when fishing for grayling. According to some fishermen, in 2 days of quiet hunting they caught up to 25 kilograms of this type of fish on the Ina.

The Inya River is a relatively small tributary of the Ob.

It flows in two Russian regions: Novosibirsk and Kemerovo. Few people know or have heard about it, with the exception of fishermen, since it is one of the small number of reservoirs where you can catch a lot of fish without much difficulty.

Fishing in the Altai Territory

Getting to this region is quite easy; trains even run to Barnaul from Moscow. There is an interesting train from Abakan, it has a cheap general compartment carriage, low fares, and all passengers can travel lying down at night. You can fish in the Altai Territory on rivers, lakes and reservoirs.

Fishing on Sorochi Log

Near the village of Sorochiy Log there is a reservoir of the same name. In the village itself you can visit the spring and the monastery monastery. Fishing on the reservoir will be interesting for both fans of spinning fishing and those who use carp tackle or a float rod.

The reservoir is also home to local fish species, the so-called “natives” - roach, bream, ruffe, perch, as well as introduced silver carp and pike perch. A visit to the reservoir costs 200 rubles for a fisherman, and a wife and child are allowed in for free. You need to pay 200 rubles for entry by car and 300-500 for entry by minibus. The drive to Barnaul is 45 kilometers.

Not every angler will like Sorochy Log. The fact is that the fish there are capricious; for fishing it is advisable to have experience and theoretical knowledge. But there is a reason to try new equipment and fishing tactics. Some fishermen write in their reviews of fishing in May in the morning that “the roach bites like a machine gun.”

The depth of the reservoir is 8 meters. Fishing competitions are held on its banks for employees of various enterprises in the region.

In the spring, fishermen noticed ticks in this area.

It is allowed to use boats with an electric motor. On the banks of the reservoir there are benches, tables, toilets and trash cans.
