These are the Vishera, Chusovaya, Berezovaya and, of course, the Northern Sosva, geographically belonging to the circumpolar Urals. It is for this reason that its banks are still practically untouched by man. Here the beauty of the taiga, mixed with deciduous massifs, is framed by crystal lakes and rivers with the purest and very cold water. It is in the river Sosva in large quantities of splashing fish.

Here are excellent catch sig and muxun, tugun and other representatives of the underwater world. There is also a lot of grayling, burbot or ide in this Ural river. But, of course, the most important treasure of this water artery is a toothy pike. Due to the amazingly clean nature and significant distance from the destructive for nature of civilization, in Northern Sosva fish, weighing about five kilograms, judging by the reviews, is not considered trophy. Local residents of Mansi say that fishing for pike in summer can end up with a specimen three times heavier.
Some believe that there is nowhere else in the worldthere are such stocks of whitefish as in the water of the Northern Sosva. Here are also found pyzhyan, cheese, etc. But the most delicious of all kinds of underwater inhabitants is the Sosva herring. It has a size similar to sprat, but, unlike the latter, it is very oily and has practically no bones.

Currently, almost every Russian has the opportunity to go here on a tour. For this purpose comfortable modern fishing bases have been built here. Of course, there are not so many of them on the Northern Sosva, as, for example, on the Volga, but those that exist are practically no different from those in the central regions of our country. These are such fishing bases as "Bedkash", "Igrim", "Northern Lights", "Visiting Lebher", "Far," "Deaf", etc.
They are stopped by inveterate fishermen comingfrom all over Russia. Their main goal is to capture a "trophy" beauty - a toothy pike. And I must say that it is possible to very many. Instances with a weight of twelve to fifteen kilograms in the Northern Sosva are encountered quite often. Without such trophy catches, rarely is an expedition left here.
Almost all the bases operating on the river,organize tours, which includes a whole package of services. Among them, accommodation in comfortable conditions, escort to the areas of probable biting, fishing with a fishing rod, provision of all necessary equipment and equipment, the presence on the boat of an experienced captain, who knows the terrain well.

Fishing routes are calculated in this way,to be able with the maximum economy of effort and time to get to the most interesting areas for fishing. Duration of tours can be any: it varies according to a preliminary agreement. Thus, an angler can choose a new water route every day to catch a new, more "cool" place, while not leaving far from the floating base. Today the so-called "megaschuk" tours are very popular. Their duration is seven or ten days.
Conditions
Those who at least once participated in fishing on the riverSosva, will return here at the first opportunity. Fishing bases are small ships, designed for several people. For example, up to eight fishermen can be accommodated in the floating base of Natalena. On the ship there is also a kitchen, a dining room, two cabins in which there are TVs and DVDs, bathrooms, a bath, and also a large deck, convenient for walks.
Almost all floating fishing bases haveboard freezers in which you can store food and caught trophies. The cost of tours is three hundred and forty thousand rubles for a group of eight people. If you wish, you can also order a transfer.
The "Igrim" base is very popular with fishermen.On it there is a bath, a smokehouse, a brazier. The cost includes not only accommodation in comfortable cabins, but also the possibility of using boats, a half-tank of fuel per day, meals, life jackets, echo sounder and other equipment.
Such tours are calculated for seven or ten days. In this period also includes the road to the right place. As a rule, it lasts one day. It depends on what level of water in Sosva at the moment.
Water routes
From the right bank of the Sosva River, a truly amazing view stretches for kilometers. Previously, there was a settlement, which today only resembles pits.
The most popular waterway begins inSaranpaul. It runs along the rivers Lyapin, Shchekurya, Yatria, Tayakhlanya, Sosva Marina, Labytnangi Station. The length of the route is four hundred and sixty kilometers. Its duration is twenty days.
The route passes, mainly along the left tributariesSosva, within the foothills of the eastern slope of the Urals and the hilly-steep strip. These wild places are literally replete with taimen, grayling, pike, there are many berries.
By itself, this water route is relativelyuncomplicated: on the way there are no intractable thresholds although in the upper reaches of Yatria there are rubble, and before the Volia from Tayakhlany kayaks have to be dragged through the taiga thickets and a windbreak. Here, tourists will need stamina and good orientation.
On the left bank there is a cave, the entrance to whichis flooded when the water level in Sosva rises. Therefore it is convenient to go in winter on the ice. In the cave there are many large grottoes, beautiful calcareous outgrowths.
One of the most picturesque places for thisthe route is Pereym - a thin rocky isthmus between Vagran and Sosva. Below is the Arrow Stone - a picturesque rock consisting of three limestone cliffs, where the Mansi converged to compete in archery.
Pike fishing
In the summer, in addition to the famous Sosva herring,The most desirable catch for anglers is the crocodile. That is how the locals call pike. On Sosva there is a high density of this fish, because it is here where its breeding ground is located. In addition, there are a lot of endemic pikes in Northern Sosva. In the autumn, huge herds of this predatory fish move here and rush for their favorite food - sig. Therefore, as evidenced by reviews, in this season in the river the concentration of pike reaches an unprecedented amount.
If catching this fish on the next, largerObi assumes trophy specimens weighing from ten to fifteen kilograms, then on North Sosva this counting starts from twenty kilograms.
Tackle
From the beginning of June, large pike begins to eat off atbream and crucian. At this time, it can be mainly found in shallow water or in old women, where there is warm water. If the water level in Sosva has not yet slept, then the large pike goes into the flooded coastal willows. At this time, the most catchable are the baits of surface and near-surface species. In the first two months of summer, pike is distinguished by surprising greed and aggressiveness, so fishermen boldly use gliders, propbates and mega-poppers.
By burning this fish with the most popular gearis spinning. Firstly, this method of fishing gives fishing interest and sharpness, and secondly, the chance to pull out trophy specimens increases. However, no less common and fishing for fishing, which is considered no less successful.
Baits
As a rule, when using spinning to itcorresponding nozzles are also selected - a wobbler, rubber fish, twisters. Many, of course, practiced fishing for live bait. With the help of a spinning rod in Sosva, it is convenient to catch a pike in seaweed thickets, where it often hides, stalking the prey.
For large fish it is better to use clockworkspiral carbines, as well as monofilament with dough from thirty to fifty kilograms. The most optimal on Sosva are the spinning spoons weighing from 35 to 45 grams, as well as jig heads of similar weight and rubber colored wobblers with a length of ten to twenty centimeters.
Best season
Spring is considered the best time for fishing.It is after spawning, when the predator zhor begins, and the most successful fishing for pike in this river takes place. At this time, the prey can be caught absolutely on any bait. And after the zhora, already in the late spring, especially catchy cloudy warm days, when fishing with a bait brings excellent results.
Известно, что летом клев щуки нерегулярный, however, it is quite possible to catch her. The North Sosva of this plan is surprising, since even in June there is a high and stable catch, although less abundant compared to autumn.
With the arrival of July, fishermen are moving from tributaries toroot river as the water level begins to subside. The fish, which is the main food for pike, begins to wander from the tributaries and old ladies, preparing for winter. And just at this time the pike takes a position in the pits, which are located near the exits of its food supply.
At this time there are so many predators that theycreate a kind of "carousel": some, after eating, go to the depth, while others take their place. Thus, this process turns into continuous.
Judging by the reviews, fishing excitement often disappears on Sosva during this summer period, because there are so many predators in such places that every cast is a catch.
