Reservoirs for fishing in Belogorye
Fishermen visit ponds, lakes and rivers. Each of the reservoirs has its own characteristics. Some of the most popular ones are:
- The Seversky Donets and Oskol rivers.
- Korochanskoye Reservoir.
- Ponds Znamenka, Stepanovka, Shigarovsky.
Seversky Donets River
This is the most visited river for most local and visiting fishermen. It is of particular interest in the area located closer to the Ukrainian lands: here it becomes somewhat wider, and its flow is not so fast. This river contains a sufficient amount of fish such as:
- Bream.
- Crucian carp.
- Pike.
- Roach.
- Zander.
- Ide.
- Perch.
- Som.
On the Seversky Donets River, fish are caught using a variety of gear, such as ordinary float rods, bottom rods and spinning rods. You can catch catfish with bottom tackle, especially in the evening hours, and with a regular float fishing rod you can catch crucian carp and bream. The feeder is mainly fished downstream of the river, since there are quite a lot of fish in this area, although the bottom here is characterized as hard, with a fast current. In this part of the river, the fish suffer from a lack of food supply, so they are hungrier and there are no problems with frequent bites.
If you fish from a boat, then there is a chance of catching large fish. Particularly attractive are areas with rapid currents where predatory fish hunt.
The Seversky Donets is characterized by the presence of heavily snowed areas, as it flows next to forest plantations. Therefore, there are many really catchy places on this river. Local fishermen use spinning rods and artificial baits of various models to catch predatory fish species.
In addition to large species of fish, this river also contains smaller species, such as roach, rudd and bleak, which are caught using ordinary float rods.
Oskol River
This river flows through the entire Belgorod region and is characterized as a quiet river with a calm flow.
It is better to fish here from a boat, looking for deeper areas where there is not much silt. On this river, spinning rods, bottom fishing rods and ordinary float gear are also considered the most popular.
The following species of fish are found in the Oskol River:
- Pike.
- Chub.
- Bream.
- Carp.
- Gudgeon.
- Som.
- Perch.
To catch predatory fish, you will have to arm yourself with spinning rods and artificial baits, such as spoons, wobblers and edible rubber. Pike, of which there are a huge number here, respond well to ordinary, oscillating spoons.
The most catchy time is spring, when fish after wintering prepare for spawning. During this period, fish move in schools and bite on common baits such as worms, bloodworms or maggots.
Fishing ponds in the Belgorod region
There are a sufficient number of fishing ponds in this area, both free and paid. Nowadays, paid ponds are much more popular among fishermen, since it is much more difficult to catch fish in ordinary reservoirs.
Paid fishing has some advantages. For example:

- Close location to populated areas.
- More chances for a successful catch.
- Help from reservoir staff.
- Possibility of renting gear and other fishing equipment.
- Comfortable conditions for fishing.
- Possibility to fish for several days in comfort.

The following free ponds are very popular among anglers:
- Zhukovka.
- Popov.
- Top.
- Vladimirovka.
- Oskolets.
Korochanskoye Reservoir
There are several reservoirs in this region, but Korochanskoye is considered the most famous. Firstly, this is one of the largest reservoirs in area, and secondly, it is the most densely populated with fish. Here the bite depends little on the time of year, so you can always count on a significant catch.
Here it is:
- Bream.
- Carp.
- Carp.
- Zander.
- Silver carp.
Fishing can be productive when fishing both from the shore and from a boat. Fish is caught here using well-known gear, such as a feeder, spinning rod and a classic fishing rod. You can attach a worm, bloodworm, maggot, etc. to the hook.
Fishing in these places is very exciting due to the presence of different species of fish. In addition, the region has a sufficient number of both free and paid reservoirs, so there is plenty to choose from.

Fishing on the lakes
There are few lakes in the region, compared to other regions, and most of them are extremely small.
Characteristics of lakes in the Belgorod region:
The most famous among fishermen are:
Lake Dolgoye is shallow and very narrow, but due to its high oxygen content, it promises a rich catch regardless of the time of year.
Good fishing from spring to autumn:
The advantage of fishing on this reservoir is the ability to fish equally successfully from the shore and from a boat. The gear can be any, but a spinning rod or a feeder is better; it is more advisable to take bloodworms or earthworms as bait.
In winter, the reservoir freezes quite quickly; people can fish from the ice only with winter fishing rods. More often pike bite on live bait.
Lakes in the valleys of Tikhaya Sosny and Oskol. In this area there are small lakes in which you can often catch:
In spring, summer and autumn, you should fish from the shore using a float rod; maggots and worms are ideal as bait.
In winter, pike mostly bite, and they are caught from the ice. Experienced fishermen use jigs and active live bait.
Important advice: on small lakes it is wiser to make several holes, in which case the probability of catching fish is greater.
