Autumn Fishing for Perch on the Lower Volga

At 15,000 square kilometres and with more than 500 channels and streams, the largest river delta in Europe is that of the Volga in Astrakhan Oblast. The area is home to more than 56 species of fish including carp, perch and sturgeon. RTG TV host Igor Maximenko decided to take a mid-autumn trip to these fruitful waters, where he discovered that perch is only one of the many gifts the Volga has to offer.
