About Alazani River
The Alazani River meanders through the fertile Kakheti region. It is a slower, meandering river compared to the mountain streams, making it a prime habitat for catfish and various coarse fish.
Fishing Tips
- Night fishing with heavy bottom rigs is the preferred method for large catfish.
- Slower, deeper bends in the river hold the most fish.
- Use strong gear as the river holds some surprisingly large specimens.
Access
Many access points require navigating dirt tracks through agricultural land. A sturdy vehicle is recommended. The banks can be muddy and overgrown, so finding a good clearing is key.
