Lower Tunguska is a majestic tributary of the Yenisei that flows through the harsh and beautiful lands of Siberia. The water attracts anglers with valuable species ranging from delicate grayling to mighty East Siberian sturgeon. Current cafe orders and timers are shown below.
Lower Tunguska: Siberian treasures and the realm of taimen
Advice for beginners: affordable spinning
On your first visit, you do not need ultra-expensive tackle. The familiar Belaya setup with the Linear blank and Meteor reel handles local fish surprisingly well.
Tactic (Farm):
Use spinners or, with enough skill, topwaters. Your main targets are brown trout, pink salmon, lenok, and all grayling species. Be careful with thin leaders, because pike can bite them off easily.
Alternative:
If spinning gets tiring, fish with pole rods right from the pier. Small species still provide stable silver.
Important tip:
Buy artificial mice here. This lure is unique to Tunguska and becomes extremely useful later on Yama River.
For experienced anglers: taimen and rare char
For veteran players, Tunguska is about rare stars and trophies for Honorary Angler.
