Winter fishing is a real joy for those who wish to test themselves in difficult winter conditions and who, at the same time, have not lost their taste for adventure. The winter fishing tour will bring you into close proximity with wild nature, belying the warm comforts of home, but the competition with wise fish and the challenging environment can bring deep satisfaction and, ultimately, great rewards.
The travel across frozen winter landscapes, the opportunities for photography, the comfort of a wood-burning stove at base, a lovely dinner after a few hours spent on the ice and the magnificent view of a river or lake in the snowy woods – all this can turn winter ice-hole fishing into a hobby for life.
There are lots of options for those, who choose winter fishing as part of their tour to Russia. There are different locations but all of them are in the Northern parts of the country.
