Sports Fishing for Chub
The Kuban River flows through three of Russia’s administrative regions, originating in the Republic of Karachaevo-Cherkessia. The river itself is almost 900 kilometers long and home to more than 100 species of fish, including chub, a rather small member of the carp family often confused in the water with nase.
