Features of fishing in Mordovia
The location of the region explains the relief features of the bottom near rivers and lakes. In the water bodies of Mordovia, there are practically no sharp drops, deep holes, and rifts. Rivers and lakes are characterized by gently sloping banks and the same bottom, mostly sandstones. Many water bodies are characterized by cloudy water immediately after precipitation, which makes it difficult to fish. Over time, the turbidity will settle and the inhabitants of the fish will become significantly more active.
Shallow depths and relatively clear water are characteristic of rivers and lakes, which, according to experienced anglers, is the main reason for the absence of trophy catfish in the region.
Fishing is carried out both in natural reservoirs and in artificial ones. Many lakes and ponds have been leased for many years, this business is booming. Many bases offer paid fishing services, and even from neighboring regions come here to enjoy themselves.

- peaceful fish are caught on tackle with feeders; as a bait, a worm, maggot, and bloodworm will show themselves perfectly.
Vegetable options are also used, but they will work worse.
