Fishing on lakes and reservoirs

Lake Seliger

has long been famous for its unique environment and local fish wealth. For this reason, fishing in the Tver region on Lake Seliger is a unique gift for every fisherman. Seliger is home to 40 species of fish, but the main objects of mass fishing are pike perch, pike, perch, bream, roach and silver bream. In addition, there is a large amount of gudgeon, ruffe, smelt, and some burbot, crucian carp and tench are caught as catches. The luckiest ones manage to catch and show off carp, chub, dace, asp, or even whitefish and even grayling. But such fish are very rare, just like eel, lamprey, and peled. Trout are grown artificially in cages on the lake. Catfish are found in some small lakes.

When fishing in the Tver region on Lake Seliger, the main catch is bream. As a rule, it lives in shallows where there is a lot of vegetation and the water is somewhat warmer. Bream spawns mainly in the Vesetsky Reach, Lake Seremo, and in the lower sections of the Selizharsky Reach.

At the end of spawning, large specimens are sent to the center of the lake, where they preferably stay at a depth of 9-12 meters, and in the bays and coastal areas at a depth of up to 3 m. Those areas where bream spawn and where young animals are predominantly concentrated are declared protected areas and conservation reserves. The most productive fishing for bream in the Tver region on Lake Seliger is carried out on the Kravotynsky, Volkhovshinsky and Ostashinsky reaches. Bream is caught well on the Selizharsky and Sosnovitsky reaches.

On Lake Vselug

While fishing in the Tver region, every fisherman will have vivid impressions and not only from one successful catch, but also from the wonderful nature for which this lake is famous. On the right side of the lake, which is higher than the left and overgrown with untouched forests, pike and large perch are excellently caught, but most importantly, the fish there are excellently caught directly from the shore, and there are quite a lot of bays and steep yars.

Almost all species that are represented in the region live in Lake Vselug.
The waters of the lake are inhabited by pike, bream, rudd, pike perch, perch, dace, peled, and even eel and catfish. Fishing in the Tver region
The lake is famous for its large predators: pike, perch, pike perch, and the most successful place where they can be caught with a spinning rod, according to the stories of local fishermen, is considered to be a rocky island, right in the middle of this lake. Pike perch weighing up to 8 kg are quite common here, but even larger specimens are caught.

For all connoisseurs of fishing in the Tver region on Lake Vselug, the most preferred trophy is considered to be pike perch, which is abundant in this lake and is caught in a wide variety of ways and tools. They catch pike perch using spinning rods, live bait, trolling, and even mugs. It's not just pike perch that's great at catching on the lake. In the same places where fanged fish are found, pike are often found. These two species of fish compete with each other and often invade their neighbor's territory. So planning a fishing trip entirely for pike or purely for pike perch is very difficult, and sometimes not at all possible. They are caught here mixed, depending on your luck.

Fishing on Vseluga is also carried out for bream, silver bream and roach, since white fish is abundant here. You can catch a lot of small bream in the region every time, but truly trophy specimens are much more difficult to catch here, because bream become more and more attentive as they grow older. And you can’t do this without precise knowledge of the bottom topography and knowledge of the habitats of large individuals. All comes with experience.

Lake Volgo

also one of the most beautiful places for fishing in the Tver region. But here, for productive fishing you will need a boat. Both large predators and peaceful fish can be caught well from a boat. At dawn, 100 meters from the shore, a large bream is taking well. But, along with bream, there are also ide, silver bream, roach and other white fish. The best bait for catching local white fish on Lake Volgo is considered to be a common earthworm.

Rybinsk Reservoir

Fishing in Tver on the Rybinsk Reservoir

very attractive to many fishing enthusiasts. The reservoir covers a huge area of ​​about 500,000 hectares. In strong winds, the waves on the reservoir are very similar to a real sea storm. The reservoir is rich in fish resources and fishing on the Rybinsk Reservoir is carried out for many types of fish. A humpback perch weighing up to one and a half kilograms or a pike weighing seven kilograms is unlikely to surprise anyone here. However, the fish here are quite picky, since the reservoir is rich in food, and therefore it is quite difficult to choose bait and bait for fishing in the Rybinsk Reservoir. The activity of the inhabitants of the reservoir is also affected by the weather, which often changes there.

Before going to the reservoir, you should be well prepared, since you will probably have to travel for at least 5-6 days, so as not to be left without a catch due to frequently changing weather. You also need to decide whether to go to a recreation center, of which there are many around the reservoir, or pitch a tent somewhere in a previously chosen place. When choosing a place, you should not think that the most expensive must be the best. You can be deeply disappointed.

If you choose a fishing base, it would be useful to take advice from experienced fishermen: Pay attention to the location of the base you have chosen, and do not forget to clarify what equipment the base provides its clients. Also, be sure to find out how many rangers there are on the base, and what experience they have working in this place. Pay special attention to your own clothing and equipment; on a huge expanse of water, such as the Rybinsk Reservoir, various extreme situations can always arise. It is always worth remembering that trophy specimens are often found here, which means that gear must be selected taking into account this possibility. It would be a good idea to have with you not only an echo sounder, but also a good navigator; even experienced huntsmen can make mistakes, and the weather can deteriorate at any moment.

Fishing on the Ivankovskoye Reservoir

This large reservoir is spread over the territory of two regions, Tver and Moscow.
The creation of this reservoir dates back to 1937, when the Ivankovskaya hydroelectric power station was built on the Volga. Fishing in Tver
The reservoir provides navigation all the way to Tver, water supply to many cities, and generation of electricity. The reservoir has many islands and bays covered with wild forest. The fish world of the reservoir is rich and diverse; at least 30 species of different fish, both peaceful and predatory, live in its waters. The main fishing objects in Tver on the Ivankovo ​​Reservoir are pike, bream, roach and perch. A little less often, pike perch, asp, tench, rudd, burbot, bluegill and catfish are caught on the hook.

There are several fishing and hunting bases on the banks of the reservoir. Where you can stay and take advantage of paid fishing services. You can fish in the Tver region on the Ivankovskoye Reservoir both from the shore and from a boat, and the key to successful fishing, as always, is a good knowledge of the area, the bottom topography and the possible habitats of this or that species of fish. The reservoir is actively reproducing fish stocks and populating new ones. Today in the reservoir, in addition to the indigenous inhabitants, there are sterlet, grass carp, silver carp, and carp.

The most popular Tver fishing spots on the reservoir are Mashkovsky, Novoselovsky, Obukhovsky, Omutinsky, and Fedorovsky bays. Any tackle, float, fishing rod, donka, spinning rod, feeder is suitable for fishing here. Winter fishing here is in many ways even more preferable than summer fishing, since many places that are impossible to reach in summer without a boat can be reached in winter without problems.

So, Tver region. Andreapolsky district.

We left Moscow on 06/09 at 14:00 from Maryina Roshcha. Surprisingly, for the pre-holiday day we left through Volokolamka very easily and already at 16:00 we were in Volokolamsk, and at 20:00 on the shore of the lake.

I didn't catch it the first evening. I just fed a couple of points. “We had a rest”: shashlik-mashlyk and “for your arrival.”

10.06. Morning. I caught it on the feeder. In principle, I went mainly to try it out in the feeder, since I know the reservoir quite well, and I’m new to this gear. In the morning, on the near edge, a white bream confidently pecked 200 grams per worm. I was counting on bream, but the bream, unfortunately, never came out. As a result, in 3 hours (from 06:00 to 09:00) I caught about 20 pieces.

At a swing of 7 m, roaches were pecking very actively (at maggots). But very small (50 grams). I caught about 1 fish per minute, but after half an hour I got tired of this type of fishing.

In the evening I also caught it on the feeder. Still the same 200 gr. bream. Unfortunately, again nothing larger was suitable for bait. As a result, I also caught about 20 pieces during the evening. white bream.

11.06. A strong wind blew. It became impossible to fish on the lake. Neither the float nor the feeder, the bite is simply not visible. After struggling for a couple of hours, I caught several pieces of white bream and curled up.

Read Where is the best place to dig worms for fishing?

In the evening I went to a nearby lake. Smaller, in the forest. It was much quieter there, there was practically no wind. At 7 m max the same small roach were still actively pecking. In an hour and a half from the boat to the spinning rod there are about one and a half dozen perches. All up to 200 grams. The pike was silent. There was quite a large group of people standing on the lake (6 cars). They're in their second week. They say that pike only take live bait (girders, mugs). All of them are found in the area of ​​2 kilos. It doesn’t work with iron, or with paralon, or with rubber, or with wobblers.

12.06. I didn't catch it in the morning. We woke up, had lunch, swam, broke camp and set off. We left at 16:00 and were home at 22:00.

So: we caught fish, ate fish soup, visited familiar places, swam, sunbathed, went boating, ate and drank deliciously, sang songs around the fire. What else do you need from this life?

Well, the fact that I didn’t catch anything worthy, well, God bless him. Next time we'll catch up. The main thing is that you had a great rest from worldly worries

Fishing on the Volga

At any time of the year you can meet fishermen on the banks of the Volga or Volga reservoirs in the Tver region. The river basin is home to 70 species of fish, 40 of which are commercial. There is a good bite here both in open water and from under the ice. That is why many year-round recreation centers and specialized fishing bases have been built in the region.

The Volga has long become a symbol of our country and a natural monument of world significance. It originates on the ridges of the Valdai Hills, at an altitude of just over 200 m above sea level. The source of the great river is considered to be a spring located near the ancient settlement of Volgoverkhovye. This village has existed since the 17th century, as a place where peasants assigned to the Selizharov monastery began to live. Today, there are less than 10 houses left in the settlement, and the number of residents is small. A nature reserve has been created to protect the source of the river.

In the Tver region, the Volga has a length of 669 km, which corresponds to 1/5 of the length of this river from source to mouth. Two-thirds of the entire watershed of the Tver lands falls on the Volga basin. In the region, the Volga flows, fed by groundwater, rain and snow water. 150 tributaries flow into it, the largest of which are the Vazuza, Tvertsa, Dubna, Medveditsa and Mologa rivers.

In the Tver region, the river flows through flat terrain, through mixed forests and picturesque open fields. In summer, the river warms up well - up to +20+23°C. The Upper Volga freezes at the end of November, and usually opens up in the first half of April. In its upper reaches, the river, which is gaining strength, passes through a system of lakes that make up the Upper Volga Reservoir. Four lakes - Vselug, Volgo, Peno and Sterzh were united by a dam built in the mid-19th century. Below Tver, within the region on the river, there is the Ivankovskoye reservoir, which is often called the “Moscow Sea,” as well as the Vyshnevolotskoye, Uglichskoye and Rybinsk reservoirs. Until they were created, the annual fluctuations in the river level near Tver were 11 m. The Volga itself and all the Upper Volga reservoirs are popular among fishing enthusiasts at any time of the year. It’s convenient to come here from Moscow and other cities in central Russia for a weekend or a longer stay.

The reservoirs of the Tver region have different depths - from 3 to 30 m. The unevenness of the bottom was a consequence of the advance of a powerful ice shell that covered most of Europe during the last ice age. In the deep “pits” there are large fish, the weight of which exceeds 5-10 kg, and in shallow water you can catch live bait for serious fishing, as well as catch bream, bleak and minnows. Those fishermen who use an echo sounder and a good navigator benefit greatly.

Both on reservoirs and on the river itself within the Tver region, the most common and “respected” trophy is pike perch. It is found in abundance everywhere and bites well on a donkey, on a “circle” and on a spinning rod. Not inferior to pike perch in quantity is large pike - its main competitor for hunting grounds. The Volgo is considered the most catchy among the Upper Volga lakes. But to get more trophies on it, you need to use a boat. Both predatory and ordinary fish catch well from the boat. An earthworm is usually used as bait on the Volgo.

In addition to fishing in public places, in the Tver region you can use the services of fishing bases that organize paid fishing. They have their own ponds and small stocked lakes, and are ready to welcome fishing enthusiasts in any season. The advantages of paid fishing include a guaranteed catch, the possibility of renting equipment, advice from experienced instructors, ecological cleanliness of the area and comfortable accommodation, since comfortable fishing houses have been built almost everywhere on such lakes.

Fishing for crucian carp in the Tver region. On cold water in spring

Greetings to all fishing lovers!

There is a ban in the “yard”, and my hands have been “itching” for the feeder for a long time... The holidays of May 9-10 were days off at work, so how to spend them had been planned for a long time. The choice fell on a paysite near Bezhetsk (Sulezhsky Borok), in the hope of catching a good crucian carp.

I wrote about this in advance and everyone responded immediately, these are all friends and acquaintances who have been tested more than once, who without hesitation gave the go-ahead for a joint trip and vacation. All that was left to do was to purchase the necessary provisions the day before. As it turned out, this is not an easy matter... The pre-holiday bustle took over everyone and everything. There was a rush in the stores!

We dealt with all this easily, now we had to gather everyone, meet them and finally head out to rest. Our company consisted of 6 people. The 1st crew, Andrei and Valera, started from Tver at 18:00, the 2nd crew was Denis, who drove towards Bezhetsk at lunchtime in order to stop at the dacha, and finally we - me, Fedor and Pavel (followed by I had to check in at 9 pm). As a result, we were the last ones to set off, almost in the dark.

On the way, we stopped at Denis’s dacha and at about 11:00 pm we continued our journey together. At this time Andrey called and said that they were already there. There are quite a lot of people, but there are free places and they took one of them. We give the go-ahead and arrange a meeting on site. The road flies by quickly and unnoticed (fortunately there are no surprises on it). We pass Sulezhsky Borok and turn onto concrete slabs. Be extremely careful here, because you may encounter “unexpected ones” in the form of protruding reinforcement (according to experienced ones). But everything is calm and not so scary. It’s already the first hour of the night and we’re there!

We pass the first dam and stop at a rather promising and nice (in terms of recreation) place. We call the 1st crew (Valera and Andrey) and tell them to come to us. Denis and I decide to take a ride to other places and check how they are there. As a result, having visited quite a few places, we choose one, a little further from the first parking lot. We move and settle down. Now you can relax...

First stack of arrival! Next is the analysis of things (necessary for the first time), provisions. We disassemble the grill and decide to prepare a skewer for each delicious kebab. We set the mini-table - tomatoes, cucumbers, fresh herbs, potatoes! Uhhhh... (I apologize in advance for the appetizing speech). So the kebab is “ripe”. Word for word, and it’s already 4 in the morning, it’s getting light! It's time to start catching fish.

Let's start mixing the bait. On the first day of fishing, I decided to mix in the following composition: PELICAN bait - Crucian carp Fruit 1 kg, Carp - Wild berries 1 kg, Lake 0.5 kg, a little water and black paint. The result was a sweet and fruity mixture that filled well into the feeder and “exploded” from it at the bottom.

I leave it to swell, and I begin to disassemble the chair, attach the entire body kit and disassemble the fishing rods. I measure the bottom and distance with a marker. There are no “anomalies”, the bottom is flat and flat, and in some places there is aquatic vegetation. The depth at the fishing spot is 1.5-2 meters. I find a point that is interesting in my opinion, at a distance of 26-30 m (I didn’t exactly hit it, there was no need to). There was a transition from a soft bottom (apparently silty) to a harder one (sand), then about 2 meters away there was a small obstacle, possibly a snag, or bottom vegetation (but the weight came out with ease). I stopped at this transition. Once again I moistened the bait, mixed and sifted through 2 mm. Sieve. I disassembled my working fishing rod - “Volzhanka Profi 2.0” 80+ with a “soft” quivertip made of glass.

This is a new product for 2015, which I haven’t really had a chance to try yet. I installed the longest insert, the height of the entire form is 3.95 m. Volzhanka Leader 4000 reel with wound Allvega 0.1 mm braid. And a shock leader made from 0.21 Preston REFLO POWERLINE. Hooks Preston COMPETITION HOOKS No. 322, leash length 60 cm. Made of REFLO POWERLINE line 0.11 mm. Installation In-line, feeders FS 28 gr. That's probably all about the gear. Meanwhile, the bait has already “reached” its ideal state! 5 large FS feeders as feed at the fishing point - then I put a small feeder. The attachment is a red worm, a white and red sponge and corn, I try different serving methods.

FP dips, Pelican flavor. After 10-15 minutes I get a bite, I hook it, but miss it. A quick recast and a good pull follows, which I confidently implement. Something got stuck at the other end of the line and pulled to the side. The blank perfectly works out every jerk and push of the fish. A short struggle with the owner of the reservoir and the handsome crucian carp ends up in a landing net. Well-fed, plump - I haven’t caught anything like that for a long time. I send it to the cage and continue fishing further. I actively add a little live maggot to the food (since I fish with it), try different scents (in order to find the most suitable one) and experiment with different Deeps. All this does not bring me the desired effect, the crucian bites stop at 7 in the morning, and then the roach wakes up and begins to actively jerk my bait.

I decide that this is where I need to finish my morning fishing and go to bed (at least for a couple of hours). Denis and Fedor are still left to catch, which ultimately brings Fedor 4 qualifying crucian carp. Unfortunately, Denis was only attracted by Roach. Our other crew, meanwhile, pumps the whole boat (they got a good night's sleep), collects float rods and goes to the other shore to search for fish.

I woke up at the beginning of the 12th day - the sun was already shining and it was hot. Fyodor and Denis were sleeping, and Pavel had just replaced them. And we decide to boil a kettle over the fire and make delicious coffee! In nature, it seems to me that it becomes even more rich and tasty! We had breakfast and I decided to check what was “going on” at my point. Literally from the 2nd cast there are twitches of the quivertip, stretching - in a word, Plotvichka does not let you get bored. But its size leaves much to be desired, for the sake of sport I catch it and enjoy life, fresh air and excellent weather!

It's about lunchtime, and then the guys woke up. Our group on the boat is also pulling up, following the characteristic sound of an approaching motor.

Their catches, to put it mildly, confused us... In the guys’ cages there were 12-15 excellent crucian carp from 400 to 800 grams... According to them, all the fish were in the mud and they caught them next to snags and overhanging trees. Those who were already in the “topic” caught quite a few crucian carp from boats. Having looked at all this, I beg to go with them on the next visit, in the afternoon. Taking with us a float rod, some groundbait and bait, the three of us set off to the other side. The rest remain on the shore and the spit looks in my direction. When I got to the place, I was a little surprised by the landscape (littered trees, aquatic vegetation, “windows” among all this), in general, a paradise for crucian carp! Let's sort out the gear and start fishing. After about 10 minutes, Valera pulls out the qualifying crucian carp, then another, and Andrey is not far behind. I’m content with one roach during this time, experimenting with the bait - it doesn’t help... The guys catch a few more pieces and the bite stops. We begin to move along the driftwood, but in vain. Gray clouds pulled from the horizon and the wind rose, which began to drive the wave. We decide to go to the base before the bad weather takes us by surprise. Having reached our place, the whole terrible cloud passed away, only sprinkling a couple of drops of a refreshing shower on us.

It’s a shame in front of the guys... I arrived without a single fish... Apparently my hands were completely under the feeder and forgot what float tackle is. Andrey and Valera decide that they caught a good catch and are going home. We go across the road to get some fallen dry wood for the fire in the evening. Time flies by. Great company, heart-to-heart conversations over a glass and delicious barbecue... We discuss the past day in terms of fishing and its features. It is clear to everyone that in “big” water crucian carp is not very active and it bites at exits (mostly in the morning it comes out to feed from the coastal zone), because the water in the open water area is still quite cold and the whole of Ryp is aground, in particular on on the opposite bank and is preparing for spawning (since all the crucian carp had caviar).

At 11 at night we decide to try fishing a little and check the activity of the fish at night. As it turns out, the fish are biting! I caught several crucian carp and one well-fed roach and went to bed at half past twelve.

By half past 5, Denis woke me up (although he set the alarm clock at 4, but apparently turned it off mechanically and went on to sleep). We decide to mix a slightly different composition of bait for morning fishing, namely: PELICAN Crucian bait - Garlic 1.5 kg, Lake 0.5 kg. And the aroma “MIX 38 Crucian carp”, with a characteristic garlic tint. For cold water, this compound is just right, in my opinion. I make a starter feed in 3 large feeders and start fishing. This time I use Hikara hooks No. 12, but as bait - 1-2 dung worms, with an open tip. I deepen it with garlic and send it to the point. The bite does not take long to arrive; a good crucian carp, gr. 600 weight. Then I catch 4-5 more and at 7:00 the bite stops again. They didn’t go wrong with the bait - the crucian carp was willingly interested in it during the morning exit. Then Fyodor woke up - after listening to my enthusiastic exclamations about the morning bite, he hurried to the feeder, but it was too late... He slept through the bite. And again the roach wakes up and doesn’t let you get bored.

By 9 am I decide to go take a nap for a couple of hours before heading home.

We slowly got ready for lunch and went back happy. Everyone was happy with the fishing and relaxation!!! Ahead of us all were once again everyday work and memories of this fishing, spectacular bites and plans for the next joint trip, all with the same company!

My catch was 11 well-fed crucian carp - total weight 6.5 kg, plus small fish (roach, perch) kg. 1.5-2, which was later all allowed to grow up.

In the light, we finally managed to make out the road we were driving along at night. It turned out to be very good, and in some places simply excellent! There are, of course, a lot of potholes in Bezhetsk itself, but if you drive slowly and carefully, then there are no problems.

Payment at the reservoir is made per day and amounts to 300 rubles. from the fisherman and another 100 rubles. from one boat. In the morning, an uncle drives around in his car. There are quite a lot of people, mostly everyone fishes from the dam with donks, feeders and fishing rods. I personally really liked the pond! I would love to go here in the summer, when the water warms up and the crucian carp will bite more actively.

These are the May holidays we have. NHNCH to everyone and see you again on the reservoirs!

Seasonal fishing

Fishing in the Tver region
When fishing on reservoirs in the autumn, old-timers advise using long casts from a boat, since the predator fish that live here are not spoiled by spinners. Fly fishing from the shore and bottom fishing are also good. The fishermen's efforts will be rewarded with catfish, pike, eel, perch and rudd. Roach is perfectly caught in the fall both on a float and on a feeder. Pike perch in the Tver region catches well from mid-October until freeze-up. It should also be taken into account that in the autumn, fishing in reservoirs can be complicated by inclement weather. In the vastness of the Rybinsk Reservoir, real storms usually occur at this time of year.

Many people love the Upper Volga region for its excellent ice fishing. In winter, on the Volga in the Tver region, many pleasant surprises await fishermen, and every trip to the ice turns into a small adventure. At this time of year, chub, whitefish, rudd, eel, bream, dace, catfish and carp are caught here. Especially many fans of ice fishing gather not on the Volga itself, but on the reservoirs. The largest catch can be caught on the huge Rybinsk Reservoir. Its waters are home to about 40 species of fish, and no one will be surprised by a 1.5 kg perch or a 7 kg pike caught in the Rybinsk Reservoir. However, there are also specifics. Local fish always have food in abundance and because of this they are very capricious. Therefore, when fishing on the Rybinsk Reservoir, fishermen have to select baits and baits. Fishing on the Ivankovskoye Reservoir is very attractive in winter. The fish stocks of this man-made reservoir are actively replenished, and in addition to the fish species familiar to the Volga, you can catch grass carp, silver carp and sterlet here. The most popular among fishermen are Omutinsky, Fedorovsky, Novoselovsky, Mashkovsky and Obukhovsky bays.

To protect biological resources in the Tver region, there are rules and terms for the spawning ban on fishing. From October 1 to April 20, such fishing is prohibited in wintering pits, defined by a special list.

Rivers and lakes of the region

And also in the Tver region, near Lake Dvinets, the Western Dvina originates. And in the Ostashkovsky district there is the source of the well-known Volga River. It is the longest and widest river in this region.

The city of Tver is located on the banks of the Volga River. Therefore, you just need to leave the house and you can have a pleasant time with a fishing rod without leaving the city limits. Many city residents take advantage of this, spending quiet weekend evenings on the banks of the Volga with the hope of catching a pike or bream.
