Reservoir Volgograd: fishing

There are so many fish in the reservoir that it can be safely called a fish depository. The Volgograd Reservoir itself occupies an area of more than 3,000 square kilometers, but many more small rivers flow into it, in which fish also abound. Therefore for fans of quiet hunting these places are a real paradise.

Any kind of fishing

Volgograd hydroelectric power plant cut off the reservoir from the Caspian Sea, so sturgeon does not enter here, there is no sterlet. But the remaining species of fish are enough to ensure good catches to the most demanding fishermen. There is, for example, pike perch.

The Volgograd reservoir has a favorable pastime. You can fish right from the shore, you can from the boat. The fish keeps everywhere: and away from the shore, and close to it. So novice fishermen do not need to strive to move away on the boat as far as possible from the shore. This is not a guarantee of abundant catch of large fish. You just need to know where, at what time, what fish and what bait is caught.

The Volgograd reservoir stretched for 540 km. The left bank is flat, the right bank is steep. The bottom is sandy. It is very convenient to catch spinning. Well caught pike perch, catfish and bersh (or, as local fishermen say, bersh). Bersh is a species of pike perch. He does not have fangs, and he can only hunt for a small fish. Large specimens weighing up to 2 kg are kept at a depth far from the coast. Small fish come close to the shore and chase small fish. It is well caught in the morning and in the evening. During the day, the bersh usually behaves passively.

How to catch a catfish?

The catfish is well caught on the kvok. Kvok is a beater that, when struck on water, makes a gurgling sound. Hit on the water you need 3-4 times. Som willingly leaves his shelter and goes to the kvok. Why he does this is not exactly known, but the main thing is that he went out and started hunting. Then he needs a flap or a bait hook. As bait, you can use rotten meat, bait or frog. Red and earthworms can also be used, but a lot of them have to be planted on the hook. Beginning anglers usually complain that catfish often break spinners and go away. Catch can only catfish weighing not more than 8-9 kg. That's really really not clear what to do - rejoice or grieve. Experienced anglers do not have such problems. Volgograd reservoir them pleases with excellent catch of predatory fish.

Fishing with spinning

Strangely enough, but sometimes bream appears on the spinning. This fish is not predatory, but large specimens can grab a small fry. Usually this happens in places where there is intense current. It is characteristic that the bream does not swallow a fish, but grinds it with its teeth. It is well established that only healthy and strong specimens attack small fish. So a spinning bait who caught a bream can enjoy doubly: he caught a bream on the bait, and this fish is absolutely healthy and does not suffer from anything. Such examples boast of the Volgograd Reservoir. Fishing will bring pleasure to both amateur and professional.

Fishing from the shore is good because it is always possible to warm up, walk along the edge of the water in search of a place where the fish bite more actively. A roach, a rudd, a perch and a bum are well caught from the shore. Roach and ruddings are excellent for picking wool or a red worm. However, the bait needs to be changed periodically, to clarify what exactly at this time the fish bite better. It happens that: just pecked the worm, and suddenly not one bite. Replacing the bait gives good results. Be sure to visit the Volgograd Reservoir, if you want to bring home the catch.

How to attract the attention of bream?

The perch readily takes on the worm, it is greedy enough. The scavengers take the bait usually slowly, they should be cut carefully so as not to break off the lips. Guster looks like a scoundrel, but experienced anglers easily distinguish between them. Gustera looks skinny and bony compared with a scraper. For cooking soup to use it is undesirable because of the taste qualities, but in the dried form it is a real treat. Sometimes large breams approach the shore. So that they fit constantly and in packs, they need to be fed. Places where the lure is constantly scattered, usually give good catches.

Chub, yaz and carp are also found in the reservoir, but not in all places. Most often they live on the left bank, where there are many islands and quiet creeks. Catching them is more a matter of chance than the result of purposeful fishing.

Fisheries

In addition to the water area of the reservoir, rivers and streams provide excellent conditions for fishing. On the banks of the reservoir and these rivers there is a large number of fishing bases. At these bases all conditions for an active recreation on the water, associated with fishing, are created. You can come to the bases by groups and whole families. Fishermen are given the opportunity to rent oars and motor boats and fishing gear. Karpovskoe reservoir of the Volgograd region is noted for its abundance of fish and picturesque terrain.

There are places where the staff of the bases feed fish, thus providing rich catches. The depths of the Volgograd reservoir are different, therefore, various devices for fishing can be used. Service at the fishing bases involves evisceration of fish, its processing, freezing and even the preparation of ready-made fish dishes. For those who prefer to do everything themselves, to cook an ear with a smoke at the stake, there are special places for breeding bonfires. Firewood for fire is also prepared in advance in the required quantities. Fire safety is provided completely. Children are provided with playgrounds and bathing places. Lotsiya Volgograd reservoir is known to everyone who is responsible for organizing paid fishing. Without a catch, you will not stay, you will also swim on a yacht.

Fishing in the winter

Fans of winter fishing will also not be left without a catch. Be sure to visit the winter storage reservoir in the Volgograd region. Ice, especially on rivers, is from December to March. This is the safest time to get out on the ice. This is especially true for small rivers, where ice stands firmly. In December, all kinds of fish are caught actively on a spoon-bait, mormyshka and bloodworm. You can pick up other bait. In January and February, the fish is less active, and it is necessary to patiently choose the speed of the spoon, mormyshki and hook with bait. With the advent of the first thawed water, the fish is awakened by the appetite, and it begins to greedily grab the bait. The fish begins the spring zhor. The catches increase sharply, but the danger of falling under the ice increases. You do not need to risk, you just need to follow the rules of behavior on the ice.

Fisheries are ready to receive fishermen in the winter. They provide ice-fishing enthusiasts with everything they need. Organize fishing in safe places. All winter and especially during the melting of ice, the workers of the bases carry out constant monitoring of the ice conditions, thus ensuring the safety of the fishermen.

Volgograd reservoir with all the rivers flowing into it is rich in fish and remains an attractive place for fishing both in summer and in winter.
