Spring fishing in the lower reaches of the Volga

Spring is the season when the waters of the Volga River are at their highest. Is this a good time to visit the region to fish? RTG host Stanislav Salnikov heads off to the great river in May and finds that even when the waters are high you can get a good catch. The fishing for Volga predators – pike perch and Volga zander - from a boat, and even perch from the shore is a hit. The main thing is to use the right tackle.

Tour of Rostov-on-Don

The historic city of Rostov was built on both banks of the powerful Don River. Because of its location, the city’s name was later modified to Rostov-on-Don - in honor of the river that is at least 23 million years old according to scientists. Over the years archeologists have uncovered treasures including mammoth remains, Amazonian gold and armour once belonging to soldiers of the famous Tamerlane on the banks of this primary water artery. RTG host Denis Golovko discovered for himself that current-day Rostov, with its unique architecture and monuments, is just as interesting as its impressive history.
