What kind of fish are there?

The waters of the Rybinsk Reservoir are home to many species of fish. “Rybinka” has always been famous among fishermen for the presence of huge perches in its waters. Some caught specimens exceeded the steelyard handle well over 2 kg. Many fishermen specially came here from remote areas to have the opportunity to catch a real “humpback fish”.

In addition to trophy perch, this reservoir contains:

pike;
zander;
perch;
asp;
blue;
vendace;
bream;
ide;
sterlet;
catfish;

On a note! The huge number of fishermen has affected the size of the fish that live here. For the last few years, there has been a ban on fishing in the reservoir during spawning. Perhaps this measure will restore the former richness of this reservoir.

Fishing at Rybinka

Most fishermen come to Rybinka in winter and summer, since fishing here is most successful at these times of the year. Fishermen can freely fish with any gear permitted by the rules and in specially established areas.

In recent years, the perch at Rybinka has been greatly reduced, but the angler near Moscow will be happy with this size.

In summer

Despite the fact that we are talking about a very large reservoir, in the summer the water here warms up to 26 degrees, but the fish do not stop biting even in such conditions. Summer fishing involves going out to the reservoir early in the morning. If an angler has a watercraft, he can try his luck in hunting a predator. In summer, large perch and pike are caught on vast plateaus with a depth of 2–4 m. To catch them, you can use various types of spinning baits:

rotating and oscillating spoons;
silicone baits of various designs;
wobblers;
spinnerbaits;
jerkbaits.

Regulars of Rybinka have such points marked in their navigator, so for them the search for fish is greatly simplified. Anglers who come here should remember fishing etiquette and not stand too close to the boats of spinning fishermen.

In the summer, pike perch is often caught along the riverbeds of the rivers flowing into the Rybinsk Reservoir. Good places for catching it are in the mouth areas of the Mologa and Sebla rivers. Also, pike perch bites in reaches with a depth of 5–8 m. Strong winds often blow on the reservoir, which raise high waves, so the fisherman’s watercraft must be highly reliable and have all the necessary equipment. Most anglers catch pike perch using a method called trolling.

Blue bream, bream and roach can always be caught here from the shore using feeder gear. The traditional bait for this reservoir is a dung worm. Fishing for white fish is especially successful in August.

Fishing reports on Rybinka for 2021

Ice fishing reports

December 15

I fished specifically for bersha. I caught it with lures and baited with sprat. The ice is thick, the wind is unpleasant and gusts. The temperature is freezing, but I don’t know how much.

There were four of us in Rybinka, in one car. We reached the ice around 8:00. We also gathered in the sea, about 2...2.5 km from the coast. The road is tolerable. In some places we had to walk through water on ice, but the rest was dry.

As usual, little by little, based on the success of future fishing, we began the process directly. The Rybinsk bershis were probably waiting for us. The bites started immediately from the first drilled hole. True, they did not indulge us in size - a maximum of 150 g. As if something exceptional, we came across individuals of 300 g.

They pecked at the game, pecked at the standing fishing rod. They caught it. So far it was visible. The fishing turned out to be just great. As a result, I caught five kilograms on my own! This is how the local bersh pleased us.

the 13th of November

Hello everyone from all of us! Today is finally the opening of the season (for us) on hard water. Arrived in Mikhalevo. It’s not far from the place to go to the ice, and we didn’t plan to linger.

We reached the place by mid-afternoon. Another 20 minutes to prepare. We moved only 20...30 meters from the shore. They drilled, lowered the fishing rods, and the process began.

Depth up to one and a half meters. Just optimal for fast fishing. Just what you need. To check in and go home.

At first we were even upset - nothing. But after about half an hour, the sorog began to go on a rampage, only they had time to pull it out of the water. The fish are good, 200...300 g each, Rybinsk, branded. There were seven pieces per person. With that, we went home to fry some fish.

October (7th…8th)

Fished near Larionovo. Stopped at the base of a famous Big Fish called. Spinning behind the island on the left. Mainly with a diverter. The temperature was warm, about ten degrees. Wind, isn't it? strong but tolerant. Just a good wave.

I went specifically to Rybinka for perch and pike. Due to the weather (mainly due to the waves), the toothy fish were caught more as bycatch. Because of the waves, we couldn’t get to the snag where I was thinking of catching a pike.

The fishing spot was chosen according to the wind, which blew out to sea from the shore. They hid from him behind the nearest island. At a distance of 1.5...2 km approximately from the base. We found an edge there with a drop of up to 15 m. At the top it was 2 m. We fished there for the second day.

The perch was going just fine. It made my soul happy for two days. I also took a couple of pikes there. But I released one - it turned out to be too small. I took it for kg.

End of August

I had a great time at Rybinka. I stopped and fished near the Opposite. True, the blooming water did not please me. But it was warm (+18°C), and there was not a strong wind.

The first day, however, we did not go to sea due to a big wave. But then everything calmed down and encouraged fishing.

The road to Rybinka turned out to be rather difficult. We rode well in a Jeep; it would have been difficult to drive a more modest car. Over the last period there has been a lot of rain, and in some places it has become quite muddy.

In general, I fished with a spinning rod. But I love the fishing rod and float rod. That’s why I gave her one of the days. I won’t say it’s great, but I caught an average fish.

I'm happy with the fishing. A great rest for the soul!

July 23…24

I went to Rybinka with my family. While my friends were swimming at the base, sunbathing, I was fishing. Mostly jigging from a boat. More with a tap. Mainly for perch. I didn’t choose a specific place. I stayed where I liked. The result is almost 10 kg in total. Among only one pike, weighing 3 kg.

By the way, this was my first time trying a tyrant on perch. I bought it at a fish store. I put small twisters and beads of different colors on the hooks. The perch liked it. They grabbed two or three at a time. I liked it too.

May 8…9

I decided to celebrate Victory Day by going to Rybinka. And successful! I took catfish for thirty. Near Protivya.

There is a lot of water, I haven’t remembered this level for three years now. A little warm for me, the breeze is up to two meters. Fine.

I caught it with a quok, in a plumb line. The bait is only worms. We fished right opposite the base, right behind Diomede.

When I grabbed it, I thought it was a fifty kg log. I didn't expect to get it out. But everything worked out. This is my second catfish on Rybinka. I also got the first one from this place. That year. He tightened it less.

Uzhenie in the city of Rybinsk

Within the city of Rybinsk you can fish well from the embankment. With the arrival of May, exciting blue and roach fishing begins here. These fish can be caught from the embankment using Bolognese or match gear. You can catch some good bream on the feeder.

There are a lot of pine forests and endless sandy beaches on the Rybinsk Reservoir, where you can relax as a “savage”.

When the water warms up a little, perch and small pike perch will begin to be caught in the area of the embankment. These predators prefer to peck on small jig baits. In summer, pike perch can be caught at night using a wobbler. Throughout the summer, white fish continue to be caught well.

In autumn, fishing from the embankment becomes uncomfortable due to frequent winds that raise the water. However, if it is a fine day, anglers can catch predatory fish well using a spinning rod.

In winter, near the embankment you can also see fishermen catching small perch and roach. But still, in winter it is better to go to areas more distant from the city, where larger fish live.

Fishing bases

Fishing bases on the Rybinsk Reservoir have everything necessary to provide the fisherman with a decent rest. Some recreation centers are distinguished by a higher level of comfort and offer a lot of additional ones, while others are intended for more modest fishermen who prefer solitude with nature to comfort.

restaurant;
pool;
