Bolbinski Cliff

Finally I was able to visit the Amur River near the village of Zimmermanovka. Here is the Bolbinsky cliff - one of the best places on the river for catching a skygazer. The current of the river breaks off the cliff, forming a huge backcurrent with a great depth.

Bolbinski cliff – the Amur is here several tens of meters deep

The first catch was a small catfish – it is often feeding near the bank

Fish in the net

Our tent in the bay

Trophy skygazer is caught from the boat at the depth of 12 meters

Shallow Dali Lake is covered by the flowers of the yellow Floating Snowflake

Below the Bolbinski cliff the water is rotating in huge whirlpools

Good size skygazer

Skygazer is especially tasty on a grill

A very common fish - Amur barbel

These fishermen have traveled to the Amur from China and Malaysia
