Yeloguy


The Yeloguy is a river in Krasnoyarsk Krai, Russia. It is one of the main tributaries of the Yenisey.
The Yeloguy is long, and the area of its basin is. The lower reaches of the river are navigable downstream from Kellog. The Yeloguy was one of the places where Ket singer Alexander Kotusov found inspiration for his songs.

Course

The Yeloguy has its source in the West Siberian Plain. It forms at the confluence of two short rivers, the Levy Yeloguy and the Pravy Yeloguy, both roughly long. It flows roughly northeastwards across the flatland and in its lower course it meanders in the mostly flat and swampy taiga. About before the mouth, the Crooked Yeloguy splits to the right and flows roughly parallel to the main river.
The Yeloguy joins the left bank of the Yenisey forming a many-branched delta near Verkhne Imbatskoye village, located on the facing bank of the Yenisey.
The confluence is located roughly halfway between the mouths of the rivers Sym and Turukhan. The river freezes in October and stays frozen until mid-May.
Its main tributaries are the Kellog, Bolshaya Sigovaya and the Tyna.

Protected area

A taiga zone of the lower course of the river, including its confluence with the Tyna, was established as the Yeloguy Nature Reserve on 10 March 1987. The protected area is under the Central Siberia Nature Reserve.
