Its large dimensions betray the dictator's intentions of making it a high traffic channel. It was deep initially, but the natural process of clogging has reduced its depth in some places except its last portion where there isn't any stream so there weren't many alluvionary deposits. Its position, almost across the Danube and the fact that the entrance from the Sulina branch is nearly clogged, has also reduced its stream.

At the intersection with the Sulina branch in the place where the muddy waters of Danube mingle with clearer waters, sheatfish and zander are caught. Because of the strong stream of the Danube and the channel's position the latter's mouth is always clogged, so periodically digging works are required (one every 2-3 years). The clogging process is so quick that in a period of 10 years an islet has developed and it is continuously growing.

The intersection with the Litcov channel follows. Its waters are clearer and attract predators such as; the rapacious carp, the perch and the zander. Starting from this point, the Crisan-Caraorman channel was digged on the old Litcov channel bed. So, on the left bank where the old weeping willows are, the stream is stronger and has digged deep pits where sheatfish swarm. On the other bank the stream is less strong and there is a gentle slope and rich vegetation that is preffered by carps. .

Between the intersection with the Litcov channel and the Iacub channel, the left bank is a bit higher so it attracts many tourists that find it very good for camping. Beside carp and sheatfish one also catch pike but because the water is muddy, I wouldn't recommend the spoon as bait. I'll rather go for live fish. The bream and the crucian are other species that are caught on a regular basis all along the course.

There you have the best place for catfish; the intersection with the Iacob channel. In this place, a natural pit has formed and it attracts many fishermen during the fishing season. The Iacub channel is quite short, so that makes it very circulated by fish that are looking for food. There are even periods when on this channels one can catch 10 kg carps and very nice zanders too. Iacub is a big lake with many reed islets, and among other things it is famous for the zanders that are caught there.

At about 1.5 km from its end, all the flow is undertaken by 2 channel, so the rest of the Crisan-Caraorman channel lacks stream. In this place, called by the locals (at the transformer) another deep pit has formed where one can fish for sheatfish. In this triple intersection perch and bream are very well caught. One of the three channels leads to the fishery and then to the Puiu lake. The other channel goes around the old pond and gets to Puiulet. On the latter, at about 100 m downstream, there is another pit where sheatfish is caught. On the last portion of the Crisan-Caraorman channel there is an area with still waters where pike can be caught and it goes for the spoon.
