ᐉ Pronya - a place for a fisherman

Peculiarities

The Pronya River has sections where the depth can reach 10 m, but the average is 6-7 m. The water in it is clean and the current is slow, so fishing here is one of the best in the country. It is worth noting that Pronya is a tributary of the Oka River, which is famous for its rich underwater world. Naturally, some species swim across from the main artery. Here you can find a variety of fish, even predatory ones, since the living and breeding conditions here are the most optimal.

Most often, pike perch, bream, ruffe, roach, and carp get caught in fishermen's nets. This is why the Mikhailovsky district is so popular. In addition to those listed, the river is inhabited by crayfish and mussels. It is worth noting that not only local amateurs fish in Prona, but also visitors from the capital, because this river is located only four hours by car from Moscow. You can get to any coast. In principle, throughout the entire channel the fish is perfectly hooked. But, as noted, it is best in the middle and lower reaches. You can fish while on the shore, as well as from a boat. Moreover, in these places the coastline is flat. Steep and high banks are only in the upper part. Basically, there are no forests on them, but reeds and shrubs grow. Both banks of the Pronya River consist of a cluster of hills that smoothly flow into one another. If you stand on one of them, you can enjoy the picturesque landscapes of the expanse from all sides. And in one of the villages located near Prony, fishermen organized their own society, which contains about 60 boats.

Fishing spots

Usually fishing on the Pronya River is carried out near the Ukhor settlements. The road there is unpaved, and if you take your time and go through many steep places and deep pools, you can go fishing and get a good catch (mostly predatory fish). There is also a good place for fishing in the village of Kolentsy, the road to which leads through a field. The fish are excellently caught in the pools of these zones. In the past there was a mill here, and now what remains of it is a dam, under which schools of fish swim. It can be caught using both non-living bait and live bait.

Downstream the Pronya (Mikhailovsky district) there are excellent fishing spots for many kilometers (even in whirlpools). Here you can easily catch predatory fish, less often crucian carp and roach. Catfish and carp also come here from Oka. The depth of these areas is small - mostly about three meters. In these areas there are bases for fishing and hunting, which provide boats and all the necessary equipment.

Pronya River

Pronya River . Pronya is a river in the Ryazan and Tula regions of Russia, a right tributary of the Oka River. The length of the river is 336 km, the basin area is 10.2 thousand km², the average slope is 0.3 m/km, the average water flow at the mouth is about 50 m³/s. The source of Proni is located in the village of Kostino, Ryazan region, near the border with the Tula region, east of Kimovsk and south of Mikhailov. The source lies on the northeastern slopes of the Central Russian Upland, on the watershed with the Don basin. The river valley is narrow, the bed is winding and shallow. The bottom is muddy, rocky and sandy in places. The current speed is low. The banks in the upper reaches are steep, in the middle and lower reaches the Pronya flows along the Oka-Don Plain, the banks here are flatter. There are practically no forests along the banks. On the Prona there are the cities of Mikhailov, Novomichurinsk, and the urban-type settlements of Oktyabrsky and Pronsk. Not far from the river is the city of Korablino.

The Pronya River is one of the best fishing rivers in the Ryazan region. The most interesting sections of this river for fishermen lie in its middle and lower reaches. Not only predators are excellently caught there: pike perch, asp, pike, perch, catfish and burbot, but also roach, rudd, ide, crucian carp, bream, silver bream, gudgeon. In the lower reaches, it is not uncommon to catch the mighty carp. The most pleasant thing for the capital's fishermen is the relative proximity and convenient access to almost all sections of the river, and most importantly, there is little fishing pressure here, which has a positive effect on the bite. You can start fishing from the area near the Ukhor settlements. There is a decent dirt road going there from the village of Luzhki. In this area it is not difficult to find suitable places where you can sit with a fishing rod, cast a donk, or fish with a line from a boat. If you slowly go around numerous riffles and relatively deep pools with a spinning rod, you will be able to catch decent pike and perch. At a long distance you can catch a rather large asp. It responds excellently to silver castmaster.

An interesting site lies a little downstream in the area of the village of Kolentsy. You can get there through the village of Aristovo and then along the field road along the river itself. Not far from the village of Kolentsy, on the river, there are remains of a mill platinum. A little above the platinum there are deep pools that are excellent areas for fishing. There is plenty of room for spinning and fly fishing. In places under the platinum and on the return lines there are large perch and pike. These predators respond well to spinners and wobblers with shallow depth. On fast currents small asp and pike perch strike. Chub are caught using flies. During days when predators are not actively biting on artificial baits, fishermen are helped out by fishing with live bait.

Very promising places go downstream for many kilometers. Flat reaches alternate with deep pools. In the pools, predators are caught using spinning rods; large roach and bream bite well on the bottom. Occasionally, crucian carp is also caught. In the lower reaches of the village of Zasechye there is a very promising area for fishing. By the way, not far from Zasechye there is a good fishing and hunting base. In the lower reaches of the Pronya, right up to the confluence of the river with the Oka, the current is moderate, the depth is mainly 2-4 meters, but there are also whirlpools with a depth of 6-7 meters. In the lower reaches of the Prony there is a lot of bream, large pike perch, pike and perch. You often come across large catfish and carp that like to come here from the Oka River. An excellent place for fishing and the area where the Pronya flows into the Oka River, there is not only a lot of various peaceful whitefish here, but also enough asp and pike perch, especially if you have a boat, it’s difficult to be left without fish.

Place to rest

In addition to being in demand among fishermen, the Pronya River is also popular among tourists. After all, this is where there are excellent places to relax. Many residents of the capital and other big cities often want to find a corner to enjoy the splendor of the majestic Russian nature, at least for a few days, sit in silence, listen to birdsong, just breathe in fresh, unpolluted air, and watch the sunrise. It's surprising that such places exist so close to Moscow. During the period from May to October, the banks of Pronya are ideal areas for such a holiday. And, despite the fact that the water in the river is cold due to the springs, vacationers prefer to swim in it, because it is really very clean. When going to a depth of more than one meter, you can see not only the bottom, but also swimming fish.

Also, the Pronya River in the Ryazan region is also interesting for lovers of cultural recreation, since many historical and archeological monuments are located in its valley. For example, on the right side, in Izheslavl, there is a historical monument of the 6th-8th centuries. There are also three nature reserves - Central Chernozemny, Galichya Gora and Belogorye.

Fishing places in the Ryazan region

The Ryazan region is truly a fertile land for fisherman. The choice of places for quiet hunting here is huge: lakes, reservoirs, rivers. With such diversity, it is difficult to remain without a catch.

Fishing will be especially productive if in advance:

explore the bottom topography;
find out the habits of the fish you plan to catch;
habitats and aggregations during the feast;
in winter - a place of hibernation.

Fishing on the Oka in the Ryazan region

We invite all amateurs and professionals to go fishing and relax in excellent fishing spots on the Oka. The confluence of the two rivers creates unique conditions for a large number of rare and traditional fish.

Until the end of the 90s, the recreation center "Major Pronin" was a fishing base for a society of fishermen and hunters; over time, it was purchased and improved; newly built townhouses, cottages, a restaurant, bathhouses and other infrastructure appeared, which turned it from a fishing base into a comfortable one. a recreation center that allows fishermen and hunters to relax with their families.

The recreation center with fishing is located on the picturesque bank of the Pronya River, in a unique place - at the confluence of the Pronya and Oka rivers, one and a half kilometers from the confluence of the Pronya and the Oka. You can fish on Prona and Oka, which can be reached by boats that can be rented at the base. Fishing in the Ryazan region will give you great pleasure and a rich catch.

Fishing on the rivers

There are 890 rivers flowing in the Ryazan region, they are flat. About 40 species of fish live there. The average length is more than three kilometers. The largest rivers: Oka, Pra, Ranova, Moksha, Solotcha, Mecha, Vysha, Tyrnitsa, Pronya, etc.

About fishing on the Oka

The Pronya River is a very interesting and promising fishing spot. This is due to a number of reasons. This includes the many turns of the river before it flows into the Oka, and a large number of rivulets and springs flowing into the river, and the bottom topography and the presence of holes with a drop from 5 m to 10 m, and as you know, these are favorite places for fish. And if you take a boat to the confluence of the Prony and Oka, you will find yourself on the so-called spit, which is a “mecca” of fishing for both predatory fish and bream. Having reached the Oka, you will find yourself in its vast expanses; in these places it is wide and navigable; according to echthyologists, the river is home to 44 species of fish.

The most common are: pike fishing, pike perch fishing, bersh fishing, perch fishing, asp fishing, catfish fishing, burbot fishing, bream and bream fishing, carp fishing, roach fishing, crucian carp and other types of white fish. On the Prona and Oka there are also quite rare species of fish - tench, grass carp and silver carp, their population is very significant, since catching them using traditional methods is unlikely, which means there is no pressure. Therefore, anglers who know the secrets of catching them have a great opportunity to catch trophy specimens of these fish.

Catching predatory fish occurs in traditional ways - jig, retractable leash, jerking, trolling, plumb line, trolling, circles, girders, quok for catfish.

Catching white fish - float rod, feeder, donk, etc.

Autumn fishing is traditionally considered the most promising and guests of our fishing base prove this by willingly sharing fishing photos and fishing videos. In the fall, you can fish on Prona from boats, the shore, or comfortably sitting on the recreation center’s own pier, or take a boat to the Oka.

Fishing on the Oka in winter at our base will also give you great pleasure. The recreation center "Major Pronin" is located just 50 meters from the river bank, and this is the most comfortable option. Come to our base for a few days of winter fishing on the Oka River , and be at the hole early in the morning. There is no need to waste time on the road, and a hot breakfast, lunch and dinner at the base in conditions when the temperature drops below -10 C will give you additional strength and warm you up, and you will be able to devote more time to your favorite winter fishing.

Fishing in the spring, we are saddened by the spring ban on certain types of fishing . The spawning ban on the territory of Russia, and in particular in the Ryazan region in the spring-summer period, is valid from April 1 to June 10: “with all fishing gear, with the exception of fishing from the shore with one float or bottom fishing rod with a total number of hooks of no more than 2 pieces on the gear fishing from one citizen.” However, guests of the base are allowed to use rowing and motor boats and spinning fishing on Prona. Old-timers who have known spring fishing on the Oka for many years claim that fishing for bream, roach, ide, and silver bream is the most productive in spring fishing. Immediately after the ice disappears and until the beginning of May, you need to look for fish in the area of the islands within the mouths of the rivers flowing into the Pronya, where at this time there is the most food.

Summer fishing on the Oka and the expanses of Prony, the variety of fish species and types of catching them , beautiful sunny weather make fishing at this time probably the most favorite among fishermen . As you know, large bream and carp are caught well at this time. And although summer fishing for predatory fish is traditionally considered less catchy compared to autumn fishing, the trophies of our clients prove the opposite; the trophies they catch are amazing. During summer fishing on the Oka , large pike perch bite, catfish actively feed, asp go out into the riffles, and pike go out into shallow water early in the morning.

Spearfishing can bring many surprises to fans of this type of fishing. On Prona and Oka there are many places with slow currents, shallow water, and shallow holes where you can dive in search of large pike perch, catfish, pike, carp, and bream. In early spring and late autumn, spearfishing on Prona is more promising. In the second half of May, large fish return to the Oka after spawning. This is a great moment for spearfishing enthusiasts. Good places for underwater fishing on the Oka in summer can be areas with a smooth current, a shell-sand or pebble bottom, 2-3 meters deep, or near holes, 20 meters away from the shore.

Fishing on the lakes

There are approximately 175 large and small lakes in the region. Six large ones, with an area of 5 square meters. km., the rest less than 0.1 sq. km. There are especially many lakes in the northern part, where the Pra River originates. In all lakes the water is clean and transparent, you can even see fish swimming up to the bait.

White Lake is especially visited. Its area is 23.5 hectares, the greatest depth is 34.2 m. It borders with the Klepikovsky district and the possessions of the Shatura district (Moscow region).
