Im May at the Amur River

Together with my friend we were fishing in the area of the Sarapulskoe village 100 km down from Khabarovsk.

The water level in the river is low; numerous lakes and channels of the wide valley are almost dry or dry

The hummocks after the fall grass-fire

I was trying to catch Prussian carp with a nymph, but only the banded catfishes were biting

The predators were not too active; we were not able to catch any big specimens

In our catches there were skygazer…

Mongolian redfin

Amur catfish

Yellowcheek is a rather rare fish

Two times we were very much surprised. A Prussian carp was caught with a jig and silicon lure.

Ussuri catfish is rarely caught with a spinning tackle
