Resolver's Guide to Russia

Greetings virtual anglers! Are you ready to snag all of the species lurking on this map? This guide lists all the locations, times, lures, techniques, hooks, and baits I used to catch everything this map has hidden. I will be updating often, so keep checking back and feel free to leave a comment. Good luck have fun!

Love these guides - small tip for current build (3/15/25); Baluga Sturgeon can clip on Location 2, easy to land for faster levels + EXP.

A bit of an exploit, but its an option.

Thank you so much, Resolver for the excellent guide.

[Aaron Zocowsky]

where common carp and grass carp?

[Gumbo]

5-star European Eel - Robinson Trophy 14G - Spot #2

[Gumbo]

5-star Pink Salmon - Robinson Marteen 65mm - Spot #4

[Gumbo]

I caught a 5-star Wels Catfish and 5-star Amar Pike at spot #3 using the UFA Fishy-G - Straight 26%

[Gumbo]

I caught a Wels Catfish at spot #1 using a Sakura Bainer 105S White Red

[Corns]

For anyone coming to this guide after the newest rods and reels were added, the best spot I've seen so far is spot 3 on the pier using the sakura dynastick 135F in silver/blue. You will catch MASSIVE belugas. I was reeling at 28 speed and fishing at noon on clear. Best of luck
