Ob great

The ducts present there tangled maze, in addition to all the changing from year to year and within one year depending on water levels. In this interweaving of the duct is sometimes a long time wandering not only fishing boats and motorboats, but experienced anglers on light boats. Obi Islands stretch for tens of kilometers. Here grow willow and sedges. In other years, pouring, Ob floods even the big island, and, departing, leaves on the ground thin layer of silt, which, like putty, does not pass to the seed light, air, and the grass does not germinate. High water flooding on the islands and the mouths of rivers flowing into the Ob, low meadows, forming a vast shallow lake - litters. In sors fatten the fish. With a recession of water in the first dry groove connecting the litters with the main ducts Obi, and shoals of fish, mostly young, are trapped. Rescue them from death in otshnurovaniyh sors, strip vodospusknyh ditches is charged with the duty of all collective farms to conclude contracts for the exploitation of fishing areas. In the overgrown grass sors nesting ducks. By autumn they gather in the ducts. But the main wealth Obi - fish. Here it dozens of species from different families: sturgeon, salmon, carp. Most numerous in number of species and have the greatest commercial value salmon, whitefish, inconnu, pyzhyan, Sokurov. Themselves have the same Ob fishermen in honor expiring fat "little soly" cheese. Is Obi, especially in the Ural tributaries - the North Sosva, Son, Voikar - and another great fish - tugun, or, in local, Sos'va herring. Connoisseurs and experts say that nowhere in the world there is no herring-like Sos'va. The intensity of fishing on the Ob River is very uneven, it depends on the progress of fish. Is the most popular spring lift it to the headwaters of the Ob River and tributaries - the thrust. During the thrust Ob extremely lively - on the ducts scurry boats isotherm. In the quiet backwaters anchored barges are a fish on ice - pontoon. A local fishing practices, "the sands", blacken the fishing boats. Obi can be found on several types of boats. Smallest - Khanty kaldanka. It is done without a single nail - the three curved in a special board, stitched together pine roots. Slit smeared with pitch. Kaldanka very nimble (much less stable, than the tourist canoe), but easy and best-selling. Fishermen Khanty govern it with artistic ease, wielding only one oar with swept blade. At kaldankah they cross wide stretches of a wave when it is not at risk of leaving even such vessels as boats. Next in size boat - gorodovushka intended for several people and transportation of small cargo. The blades of the oars gorodovushki very distinctive - they have the shape of axes or completely rectangular. Then - budarka, the main fishing boat, which caught afloat, ie, a network of tied at the ends of the float and adrift near the bottom. Now, most fishermen trades on budarkah with the motor. Finally Nevodnik - a large boat to transport goods that reach several tons. Swim across the expanses of the Ob and various motor boats, wooden dori, taps with single-cylinder engine, shaking like vibrators, big boats TBS (TBS - Tonev bot steel), and unique old boats, which can not be attributed to any category. On the banks of Obi lived the bulk of the district, which, despite such a large area, has only a few thousand. The main towns - Men, Gorki, Azov, Pitlyar, Shuryshkary. Besides them, the indigenous banks and on some islands are scattered a few dozen small fishing villages. The names of their exotic sounding ending is usually the word "Gort", which means "village": Shizhimgort, Karvozhgort, Anji, Gort, the district center - Men, a large village on the left bank of the Malaya Ob ', the main shipping channels. It is worth it on the mountain, and his name is derived from the Khanty words "men" - "pit". Its founders had in mind, perhaps, a deep stretch of river front - fishing hole / Men - pretty Rural housing: it is a powerhouse club, lots of shops, a large hospital. Despite the fact that it is worth it in the permafrost zone, is here and vegetable farm, including a large greenhouse, where tomatoes are grown. In the men of moor all passenger steamers and start all roads leading to remote locations area.
