Approximately a 2-hour journey from the Susamyr River is the Kekemeren River. The Kekemeren River is formed by the confluence of the Susamyr and Western Karakol rivers, flowing 200 km through the gorges of the Inner Tien Shan and emptying into the Naryn River.
The most preferred time for fishing in the Kekemeren is the spring months during the rise in water levels, which leads to the intense development of aquatic insect larvae. The mayfly larva, at the end of its aquatic development phase, is the main food source for all fish species inhabiting the river and the best bait during this time. Trout actively bites on spinning lures and minnows. In the fall, trout also bites well on minnows and lures, while marinka bites on grasshoppers.
As a rule, trout in the river tends to be solitary, but in some cases, usually in the evening, they gather in pools and backwaters, which is noticeable by splashes on the water's surface. Gathering in backwaters in the evening is also characteristic of marinka. There have been cases of gatherings in backwaters of only marinka or only trout. The number of fish in a backwater or pool is determined by their sizes and the location of these spots in relation to the main channel. The position of the backwater on the inner or outer part of the river bend plays a role. With significant water clarity, in early spring and fall months, the most active bites are noted in the morning and evening hours when it is not too bright. For the angler, it is very important to have good control over the tackle in this case, allowing for the greatest catch during the short time of sunrise or sunset. During the spring-summer flood period, when the water in the river is not completely clear or muddy, the bite generally does not stop all day.
