Neman

The third one in Top 10 Longest Rivers in Belarus that Toplist would like to introduce to you is Neman. The Nemunas, also known as the Nioman, Neman, or Memel, is a river in Europe that originates in central Belarus and flows through Lithuania before forming the northern border of Kaliningrad Oblast, Russia's western exclave, which specifically follows its southern channel. It drains into the Curonian Lagoon, which is only tenuously connected to the Baltic Sea. It has a length of 937 kilometers (582 miles) and is considered a major Eastern European river. It flows generally west to Grodno, about 12 kilometers (7.5 miles) from the Polish border, then north to Kaunas and west again to the sea.

Perch, pike, zander, roach, tench, bream, rudd, ruffe, and bleak have all been caught. Stone loach, three-spined stickleback, minnows, trout, sculpins, gudgeon, dace, and chub have been caught in its tributaries.

Atlantic salmon migrated upstream to spawn, but dams on the river, the majority of which were built in the twentieth century, depleted them. There are no fish ladders on the Kaunas dam. The spawning season occurred in the fall. According to ethnographic studies conducted prior to the dams, night fishing with torches and harpoons was a common technique.
