Summer Fishing for Asp in the Lower Reaches of the Volga

Asp is a trophy fish that many people have heard of only from books or stories others have told them. This river predator hunts other fish using its own tail as a weapon. The asp, which is almost impossible to catch itself, is known for leading fishermen on chases that last for hours. They are notorious for splashing around near the fishing pole, but never actually taking the bait. Fishermen have the best chance of trapping this tricky creature in the spring and autumn. Lucky for those that live in Astrakhan Oblast, there is a spot where people can catch asp even in the summertime. The small village of Revin Khutor is located in the lower reaches of the Volga and is home to only 30 people. It is in this area that those after the river predator seem to have the best luck – even out of season. The secret to nabbing this elusive fish is knowing exactly what creeks to look in for this «silver torpedo».
