Northern fishermen by birth spend their entire life in fishing. From childhood to the last days. All fish traps of the under-ice blocking seine were checked by our arrival. And we arrived in the almost dark. Fresh ice was covering ice free areas of water. Though the caught fish was still moving. Discontent is felt: the catch is too small, and visitors from the town are not very welcome here.
Fortunately, the fishermen had to examine one more blocking seine with fish traps called “ryuzha” down the river. We were allowed to join after the short acquaintance.
