Iriklinskoye Reservoir map of fishing spots: clarify the question

The largest fresh water reservoir, with an area of more than 26 thousand hectares, located in the Orenburg region (see Kumak Reservoir). The Iriklinskoe reservoir is a water pearl and a landmark of the Orenburg region. The reservoir is a deep-water lake with numerous bays and lagoons and is deepest in its southern part. The total average length of the Iriklinsky reservoir is 415 km (the maximum is 581 km during the spill period). The greatest length of the reservoir from north to south is 73 km. The average depth of the Iriklinsky reservoir is 12.5 m, and the maximum is almost 40 m.

Rest

The Iriklinskoye Reservoir attracts tourists all year round. Everyone can choose a holiday here to their liking. Lovers of comfort are invited to new and old camp sites. Those who want to take a break from civilization can camp in tents. So far no one is charging money for their installation. Tourist offices located in Yekaterinburg and Orsk invite those wishing to take excursion one-day trips to the reservoir with a visit to the Island of Love, located at the confluence of Suunduk, Ural and Tanalyk, as well as the unique Cossack Grotto at the mouth of Bolshaya Urtazymka, karst caves and other interesting places. But the most popular pastime is, of course, fishing on the Iriklinsky reservoir. Even those who hold a fishing rod in their hands for the first time are not left without an enviable catch. In the Tanalyk River you can catch chubs and ides, in the Berezovy backwater of pike, crucian carp and perch, in the Khrushchevsky backwater of bream, pike perch, and crucian carp. In principle, there is fish here in all rivers, bays, bays and, of course, in the reservoir itself.

Fishing

The largest reservoir in the Orenburg region is famous for its rich fish stocks. The reservoir is home to about 40 species of fish, including podust, chub, bream, roach, pike, and burbot.

Description of the species

Despite the uniqueness of the genus, there are different species groups of fish, which are determined by their prevalence and habitat. The most famous include common, Danube, eastern and Volga bream. All of them have a strongly laterally compressed rounded body, which is characterized by an abnormal height of 1/3 of the length of the body. The main differences are color and size.

The standard is officially considered to be the large common bream, which is characterized by:

sides of brown, brown or golden shades;
fins are gray with a dark border;
yellowish belly;
a compact head with large eyes and a small retractable mouth-tube for sucking in small-sized plant food, which clearly answers the question of whether the bream is a predator or not.
scaleless keel between ventral and anal fins.

Juveniles can differ significantly in color from larger bream and are often completely silver in color. The short and high dorsal fin is noticeably displaced towards the tail and has three hard and about ten soft rays. The long anal fin also has several spines and a large number of less rigid rays (22-29 pieces).

Silver carp: description, habits, fishing and benefits of fish

The average weight of fish varies between 1.5-3 kg. More massive individuals with a length of 30-45 cm are considered trophy. The maximum weight is 6-7 kg. But there are exceptions.

Officially, the largest bream in the world has broken the 11.5 kg mark. This giant was caught in the Finnish Lake Vesijärvi back in 1912.

If you do not take into account official statistics and refer to the records of domestic zoologists, you can find out that the largest bream caught in Russia weighed more than 16 kg. The reservoirs of the Vitebsk province (Pskov and Smolensk regions) were once famous for such giants.

White bream fish

The largest population of bream is represented by immature young animals up to three years old and weighing 300-700 g, which are distributed in all reservoirs of Russia, with the exception of rivers with too fast a flow or a rocky bottom. Historical confusion has led to the fact that the fish, which is similar to bream and is in fact one, received its own name - bream.

Many inexperienced fishermen are sure that bream and bream are different species, and try to find differences between them, which, of course, exist, but disappear with age. In addition to their smaller size and weight, the difference between the white bream and the bream is visible in the elongated body and silvery-white color of the former. A more difficult task is to find the differences between young bream and silver bream. This is another unique representative of the cyprinid family from the class of ray-finned fish, which alone forms the monotypic genus Blicca.

Gustera: similarities and differences from young bream

Fishing for bream on lakes and rivers in many parts of Russia often gives quite interesting results. The cage may contain identical fish in appearance with minimal differences in color. Some have pectoral and pelvic fins with a red or pink base and a gray tip, while others have a solid dark gray color, sometimes with a black border. It is the reddish-pinkish fins that are the first clue to the question of how to distinguish a silver bream from a bream.

To learn more:

The royal fish of the sturgeon family - sterlet

The silver bream is not a large fish; it rarely grows to weigh more than 600-800 grams and remains a desirable trophy for pike, pike perch, and large perch all its life. That is why in reservoirs with an abundance of predators it has to become as invisible as possible, which leads to the disappearance of the red tint of the fins. And then the external resemblance to young bream becomes phenomenal.

But regardless of the habitat, the physiological differences between the silver bream and the white bream, originally laid down by nature, are always preserved:

a flatter and laterally compressed body, which gave rise to the appearance of local names for the fish: flatfish, plywood, flatfish;
proportionally larger eye size in relation to the size of the head;
equal length of both tail fin feathers;
larger scales.

The last sign is the main one and allows you to accurately distinguish between the silver bream and the white bream. In young bream, the number of rows of scales from the lateral line to the first ray of the dorsal fin is 14 or more. The silver bream has 10-12 rows. Just a little time and fishing experience is enough for this difference to be quickly determined by eye.

Forecast for the pike perch bite at the Iriklinsky reservoir

It is pointless to try to describe all the treasured places on Irikle, but there are some where almost all anglers have gone (or should go) at least once.

Khrushchevsky backwater

If you turn left to Vishnevoye before the dam and after about a kilometer look for turns to the right (to the north), you will find yourself on the right bank of the Khrushchevsky backwater.

If you pass Vishnevoe, turn right after it and move east, you will find yourself on the left bank. If fishing in the backwater is unsuccessful, you can move further along the shore.

In the backwater they catch crucian carp and bream, closer to the exit and at the exit, where there are deep places, pike perch are caught.

The vicinity of the base "Cherry Hills"

If you want to catch pike perch, but don’t want to travel far, it makes sense to visit the vicinity of the Cherry Hills base.

Immediately after Iriklinsky village we turn left and choose any road to the shore. There is no point in going close to the dam; the fishing spots are closer to the base. The lack of pike perch bite can be compensated for by perch. To the right of the base the shore is shallow, there are no pike perch, you can try to catch perch.

Another option is to visit the left bank (opposite and above the base).

The above applies to coastal fishing; boat fishing gives significantly more options; at a minimum, you can fish the dumps around the base, where you cannot go along the shore, as well as the island next to the base.

Fishing can be good around the sunken islands northeast of the base. At low levels they are visible, at high levels an echo sounder will help.

Birch backwater

Exactly north of the Cherry Hills base on the left bank there is the Berezovy backwater.

How to get there: before the dam, turn left to Vishnevoe village, then follow the grader and turn right to the northeast. There are several roads, choose those to the left.

You can catch crucian carp, pike, perch from the shore; you can look for pike perch dumps from a boat.

Mouth of the river Tanalyk

In the spring pike perch comes to the mouth of Tanalyk to feed. If you guess the timing of these visits, you can catch very well. In Tanalyk itself, chub and ide are caught well.

You can get to the place as follows: if right before the Iriklinskaya dam you turn left onto Vishnevoye, and in Vishnevoye you take the grader to the right, then you can start examining the mouth by turning at the sign “Tanalyk Recreation Center”. There is no need to go to the base itself; you can stop on the cliff on the left.

If you continue along the grader, sooner or later you will come to an iron bridge over the Tanalyk River. By following tricky paths along the left bank of the river, you can get to a place where you can’t get any further by car - and this will most likely be that same place. More precisely, “that very place” is the last riffle on Tanalyk, below which the Iriklinsky Bay itself begins, and depending on the water level in the reservoir it changes its place, but at normal levels it is located right here.

If you drive along the grader for another three kilometers and turn right, you can go to the left bank of the bay and try your luck there.

Salt beam

It’s a rare carp fish that hasn’t been to Solenaya Balka or at least hasn’t heard of it. If you cross the dam and go towards Energetik, then somewhere halfway along the road there will be a bay on the left - this is Solyonaya Balka (see map - sheet 72). It's hard to pass by.

Depending on the water level in the reservoir, it may look different in different years, and fishing spots change accordingly. Due to the shallow depth, the water here warms up faster in the spring, and therefore Salty Balka is a favorite spawning site for crucian carp. On a good day, 10-15 kg of crucian carp is far from the limit.

The first fishermen appear here at the end of April, and the bite continues almost throughout May.

Cross

The confluence of the Zhusa and the Suunduk.

The current picture on Google Maps doesn't look very good, so the old one was used.

How to get there: Orsk - Novoorsk - Dobrovolskoye, then about 15 km of a country road to the north. On the map there is only one road, along the shore of Zhusa, in fact there are many roads, but it’s hard to make a mistake, they all lead to the shore one way or another. If you turn completely to the left, you can go to Sevastopol.

Flora and fauna

When a reservoir was formed during the flooding process, it changed not only the landscape, but also the lives of all the inhabitants of the surrounding areas. Huge tracts of black poplar, elm, birch, aspen, and willow disappeared under water. Subsequently, trees and shrubs were replanted on more than 3,000 hectares, but not all species took root. Now along the banks you can see rare birch forests, in many places there are bird cherry trees, elms, maples, willows and golden currants. The fish of the Iriklinsky reservoir experienced even greater shocks, since thanks to this artificial reservoir, the salinity and mineralization in the Ural River changed, and in addition, people launched a project for breeding new species of fish, which created certain difficulties for the aquatic inhabitants - the “aboriginals”. As a result, many old species have disappeared or are observed in minimal quantities. Now there are over 40 species of fish living in the reservoir, half of which are commercial. These are crucian carp, roach, pike perch, bream, ripus, ide, carp, pike, catfish.

Gulls, ducks, geese, geese, swans, waders, terns, and cranes nest in the coastal strip. Steppe marmots, mice, and snakes live on land.

Spinning on the Iriklinsky reservoir in November.

The beginning of November. The season is coming to an end. And this season was not complete without a trophy.

Irikla. The first day.

When I was going to Irikla, I was planning on catching pike, but I didn’t rule out the possibility of catching pike perch and grabbed a box of jig accessories and several packs of rubber. This is exactly what came in handy, since on the spot Georgy and I had already decided to fish for pike perch on the first day, and pike on the second. In the morning, the puddles were already covered with a thin crust of ice, and a wind of 4-5 m/s was driving waves out to sea. But closer to lunch the sun warmed up a little and the wind died down. It became much more comfortable on the water, the temperature of which at the surface is only 4 degrees. We swam. The pike perch was not found immediately. The average size of pike perch is 1.3 kg. There were only 4-5 pieces less than 1 kg. The same was true in the “about 2 kg” weight category. Unfortunately, there were no trophies.

At first we fished with foam rubber, then experimented with rubber. A few good pike perch were produced by the crustacean rubber from Reins.

The pike perch pecked cautiously. There were a lot of idle bites. Sometimes so much that it became irritating. I tried to increase the pause between the bite and the hook to 2 seconds. It helped once, and then there were fewer idle bites and the need for it disappeared.

The result of the first day: two dozen decent pike perch, “trifles” less than a kilo don’t count.

Irikla. Second day.

We slept, rested after the fight with pike perch, drank coffee and rushed off. On the way, Denis joined us. There was a little snow in the morning, the temperature was slightly below zero. And this time, everything did not go smoothly right away. We swam for three hours in light rain and snow in search of pike. As a result, Denis got one small pike. Last chance, check one more place and if there is no pike there, then we will radically change something: either the reservoir or the fishing object. But I will remember what happened in the next hour and a half for a long time. As soon as we got into place, almost immediately Georgy on Balisong 130 got a vicious but idle bite, and a few seconds later I got a bite too. The pike turned out to be extraordinary and made me a little worried. Spinning Dynamic 5-25 in an arc, Kaldia 2500 creaks pitifully with the clutch, and the braided line is only 10 lb (for some reason I thought it was 12 lb, but at home today I found a reel from it, on which I was surprised to see 10 lb). After fumbling a little and tiring the beauty, they pulled her out. It turned out to be 5 kg (for precision lovers - (5.02+_0.01) kg.)

Where to catch bream

This species of carp is a schooling fish. The size of flocks can reach several hundred individuals of approximately similar size. The larger the fish, the smaller the school number. Based on these characteristics of their habitat, fish gathered in schools need large water areas with opportunities for parking and feeding areas for fish. The flocks' sites are located in parts of the reservoir remote from the shore with moderate or quiet currents and depths of three meters. Extensive holes in which water flows are slowed down by the relief structures of the bottom are ideal base points for schools of bream, which love constancy, sedentism and migrate short distances only for feeding and spawning.

You can catch bream only on the way to the place of searching for food or directly at the feeding point. Consequently, the angler’s knowledge of the school’s movement paths is one of the foundations for successful fishing. As a rule, selected bottom plateaus with a silt layer are located at distances of up to a couple of hundred meters from the school’s parking areas. These bottom plains are associated with smooth rises to the coastlines and form shallow backwaters, fenced with thickets of reed and reed fields, where schools of bream graze, obtaining their food by digging in the silt deposits.

Important! Experienced breamers, looking for new hunting places, determine their prospects by the presence of many small air bubbles rising to the surface while a school of fish is feeding.

Clay and sand shallows inhabited by mollusk colonies will also be places of pilgrimage for schools, and the presence of a wall of coastal vegetation will only increase the chances of a promising bream point. All of the above listed signs of places suitable for fishing in most cases will require the fisherman to have a swimming device that will help to fish the selected point more effectively, and will also make it possible to get a decent distance from the shore to a remote part of the river or lake.

It is with great regret that we have to admit that in our time, catching bream from the shore is becoming a rare pleasure, due to the reduction of suitable places for fish to stay due to increased human activity, forcing bream to look for more secluded and quiet habitats away from the coastlines.

Salt beam

The first fishermen appear here at the end of April, and the bite continues almost throughout May.

Cross

The confluence of the Zhusa and the Suunduk.

The current picture on Google Maps doesn't look very good, so the old one was used.

The distance from Orsk is about 120 km.

If you try to describe the Cross in a nutshell, it is the Oryol backwater in miniature, since the width of the channel here is only 150-200 meters. Despite this, there are decent depths, according to people who swam with an echo sounder - up to 10-12 meters.

Rocky, steep banks, where you can catch pike perch and pike perch, are interspersed with small bays, where there are many convenient places for catching crucian carp. An even more “crucian carp” place is the mouth of the Zhusa, with gentle banks and thickets of reeds. On the left bank of the mouth there is a forest planting where you can park in the summer heat.

Who's getting caught

Among the predatory fish are pike perch, perch, and upstream of the Zhusa - pike. Non-predatory species include crucian carp, white bream, and sorog.

Bream: Reproduction

The ability to reproduce in bream appears at 3-4 years of life. Northern regions can observe this event from the end of May, and southern regions in April. This happens violently in shallow waters with splashes and play. Males fence off a territory for females to spawn. The number of eggs in one female can reach several hundred thousand.

The larvae appear on days 3-12 at a water temperature of about 21 degrees and attach to algae, where they grow until the special yolk secretion that holds them in place disappears. The fry grow from the larvae to 3 centimeters in a month. In a year they reach 9 centimeters in length.

Irikla. Second day.

But that was only the beginning. Less than ten minutes have passed, and now Denis is dragging the same one. Then another one from Denis. And so Georgy also had five sit down.

Then again a pike weighing 4 kg took me on the Ratlin. Interestingly, there were no pikes weighing 2-3 kg. Or “mothers” or up to 2 kilos.

The result of the second day for three: four for 5 kg, one for 4 kg and a dozen “one and a half”.

June

For successful fishing, fish the exits from deep holes at night, when the bream comes out of them to feed. In June, all the melt water has left its place, which means the bream has gone back to the depths. The bream will again be in deep holes; it is more effective to catch it with bottom tackle.

In June, bream prefers the following places:

steep banks;
whirlpools;
creeks;
areas of a reservoir without current or with its slight presence.

In June, bream is just as voracious as in May. The best way for bream to take a worm.

You can also fish from the shore using float gear, but be careful: do not make noise and sit still or camouflaged.

Fishing on the Ural River

The Urals are the main artery of the Orenburg region. It has a length of about 2,500 kilometers. The river is blocked in several places by fairly large reservoirs. Therefore, fishing in the upper and lower reaches of the river will be different from each other.

You can most often meet residents of Magnitogorsk at the Verkhneuralsk Reservoir. Pike, pike perch, perch and bream are caught here. Pike can be caught here using spinning rods both from the shore and from a boat. To catch pike perch, a hook is often used.

August

An excellent time to go fishing for bream. From the middle of the month, bream begins to feed very actively in order to stock up on fat for the winter. It bites on almost any bait of animal and plant origin.

You can find bream in August anywhere except holes. In pits, it is possible, but extremely rare. The most active fishing hours are set as follows: from 8:00 to 9:30 and from 23:00 to 02:00. Remember also that bream feeds mainly from the bottom of the reservoir.

November

The largest bream is in November. Having fattened up since August, he gained the necessary fat mass. In November, bream is caught from steep banks and in deep holes. It would be best to fish from a boat so that the bait is at the bottom (no more than 10 centimeters from it).

The bream comes out to feed from 8 a.m. and continues to feed until 12 noon. It is very noteworthy that in November bream often stays on rocky and clayey bottoms. It is very rare on sandy soil.

Iriklinsky. Described in route 19.

Tanalyk Bay. Described in route 20.

Peaceful. The village was founded in 1961. There is a village council, a post office, a club, a school, a bakery, shops, a medical center and the central estate of the Peredovik state farm.

The mouth of Orlovka. In the bay formed by this river there are thickets of reeds and bream, pike perch, carp, perch, ide, as well as “red fish” - sterlet, sturgeon, beluga, on which fishing is currently prohibited.

Urtazym. Founded in 1743 as a linear fortress. During the Civil War, the local Bolshevik Cossack S.K. Kolokolov created a party cell and a Red Guard detachment in the village to fight the Dutovites. In 1920, one of the first agricultural communes in the Kvarken region was organized in the village, and four years later the first pioneer detachment in the region arose. In Urtazym there is a village council, a communications department, a club, a secondary school with a boarding school, shops, a medical center and the central estate of the Zauralny state farm. In the vicinity there are marmots, badgers, foxes, corsacs and ferrets, large sea gulls fly from the lower reaches of the reservoir, in the spring and in the fall, wild ducks, geese and swans stop to rest.

Bolshevik. In the village there is a club, a school, a store, a medical center and a branch of the Rosa Luxemburg state farm.

Pokrovka. Founded in 1904. There is a club, a school, a store, a medical center and a branch of the Rosa Luxemburg state farm.

How to get there: before the dam, turn left to Vishnevoe village, then follow the grader and turn right to the northeast. There are several roads, choose those to the left.

You can catch crucian carp, pike, perch from the shore; you can look for pike perch dumps from a boat.

Mouth of the river Tanalyk

In the spring pike perch comes to the mouth of Tanalyk to feed. If you guess the timing of these visits, you can catch very well. In Tanalyk itself, chub and ide are caught well.

If you drive along the grader for another three kilometers and turn right, you can go to the left bank of the bay and try your luck there.

Cross

The confluence of the Zhusa and the Suunduk.

The current picture on Google Maps doesn't look very good, so the old one was used.

The distance from Orsk is about 120 km.

Who's getting caught

Among the predatory fish are pike perch, perch, and upstream of the Zhusa - pike. Non-predatory species include crucian carp, white bream, and sorog.

Water pump (islands near Novosevastopol)

“Vodokachka” - obviously because on the shore of a small bay the remains of a pumping station have been preserved.

The place is mainly for boats, but sometimes it’s quite good from the shore.

Fish - pike perch, perch.

Karaganka

The bay formed by the confluence of the river. Karaganki in Suunduk.

It’s easy to get there - after Energetik to Zamorskoye, and then, depending on which bank you need to go to, either turn to Zamorskoye, or after driving around it, turn north. The main thing is not to make a mistake and not to go to the right, to Novosevastopol.

Until the village of Zamorskoe, Karaganka is not wide; crucian carp and white fish have been caught in these places since spring. After Zamorsky, Karaganka gradually expands and reaches a width of about a kilometer in the area of its mouth. In the wide part on the left, flatter bank, crucian carp are caught, the right bank is steeper, crucian carp and whitefish are caught in the backwaters, and perch and pike perch are caught from the shore using a spinning rod.

But the main fishing for pike perch on Karaganka is by boat, using an echo sounder to identify landfills on the old riverbed, or unevenness in the flooded terrain next to the riverbed.

What to do if bream doesn’t bite

If the bream does not bite, then try following these instructions:

Technoplankton and bait based on animal fats will be extremely useful when catching bream. Change the bait. For bait and bait, select one of the following: bloodworms, worms, maggots, pupae of flies and beetles, grains of wheat, corn and peas. Changing bait will give you a 70% chance of getting bites.
Feed him. Technoplankton and bait based on animal fats will be extremely useful when catching bream.
Changing the fishing location is also a significant factor for improving the bite.
If none of the methods helps , and nearby fishermen are pulling bream out of the water one after another, then you need to approach without hesitation and find out what they are doing for good fishing.

Flora of the Iriklinsky reservoir

As a result of the implementation of the plan for coastal landscaping, the Iriklinskoye reservoir has become a “home” for such tree species as black poplar, elm, birch, ash and clear-leaved maple. The “establishment” of vegetation was uneven. There are sections of the coast where afforestation has occurred, while on others, on the contrary, self-sown thickets of poplar and elm grow.

The dominant shrub species are bird cherry, golden currant, shrubby willow and angustifolia. Cossack juniper has grown on the limestone slopes located around the reservoir.

In the southern part of the “sea” there is the Iriklinskoe gorge, there are cozy bays and backwaters, which have become an excellent place for the construction of recreation centers. Bird cherry thickets and birch trees grow here, and in the Birch Ravine there is a real dense forest.
