Fishing in the Chelyabinsk region
There are a great many of them in the region. It just so happens that almost all large lakes are located near Chelyabinsk, and you can get to them along a good road. Most of the water is fresh, but some also have brackish water, such as in lakes Sladkoe, Gorkoe, and Tarutinskoye. Many vacationers come here, as the water in these reservoirs helps improve a person’s condition and treats a number of skin, internal and joint diseases. And swimming in salt water in summer is more pleasant than in fresh water - it’s reminiscent of swimming in the sea.
Lake Myrkai
Lake Myrkai is of great interest to fishermen. The Miasskoye-Shadrinsk road runs right along its shore, and this makes it a convenient reservoir for fishing on the weekend. There are wild shores and well-equipped fishing bases, such as in the village of Gardens of Russia. The lake is home to crucian carp, carp and whitefish. In Soviet times, perch was released there, but now there are fewer of them than before, and there is an opinion that it will not take root after all. Myrkai is a mecca for crucian fish; catches with a fishing rod in the reeds can exceed ten kilograms on a good day, the weight of one fish is more than three hundred grams.
The city of Chelyabinsk is located on Lake Pervoe. It is a favorite vacation spot for city residents, including fishermen. The lake is quite deep, there are holes over 8 meters, but its size is not too large. Here you can find carp, pike perch, perch, as well as such valuable fish species as whitefish and ripus. They fish both from the shore and from a boat, but winter fishing is most popular among city residents, since in these cold regions the reservoir is covered with ice for a long time.
Lake Chebakul is located north of Chelyabinsk. It is protected by the state and has the status of a natural monument. The water in Chebakul is very clean and transparent. Local traditional medicine uses it as a healing agent that helps get rid of a number of digestive diseases. The banks are covered with extensive thickets of reeds and reeds - almost a third of the entire water surface. Maly Chebakul is located next to a large lake, and it has almost no areas with open water. The maximum depth in the lake is small - up to four meters. Usually fish are caught from a boat at depths of two or more. In the small lake, fish spawn, coming from the large one; fishing here during the spawning period is strictly prohibited.
Chebakul is a lake rich in whitefish, crucian carp, pike, perch, and ruff. In Soviet times, burbot was introduced here, which successfully acclimatized and became a frequent trophy for fishermen. However, we must remember that fishing on the lake is only possible on a paid basis. The voucher, however, is very inexpensive compared to payers in the capital and payers in the western regions - no more than three hundred rubles per day.
You can buy it in the city of Kunashak or from local dealers near the turn of the highway.
The best paid reservoirs
It is important for every fisherman to know which paid reservoirs are the best in the Chelyabinsk region.
Lake Aydykul
The height of the lake is 158 m above sea level, it has an average size of about 26.5 km², depth of about 3.5 m (maximum 4.5 m). You must pay to enter the territory regardless of where you plan to stay - at a recreation center or in a tent. There are no particularly picturesque places around the lake; moreover, it is surrounded by a fairly dense wall of reeds. In order to get to the water, the fishermen created several clearings, around which they are mainly grouped.
Money is paid for the right to fish. There is a particularly large influx of fishermen on weekends. The main asset of this lake is gold and silver crucian carp, as well as huge carp. Predators such as pike and perch are caught using lures and live bait.
Lake Alabuga
Its main advantage is its proximity to Chelyabinsk, the city is only 90 km away. This lake is located at an altitude of 300 m above sea level. This is a small pond with an area of no more than 250 m². But at the same time, the lake is deep - up to 5 m, and sometimes up to 7-9 m. The bottom is muddy, rocky in places. The water in the lake has healing properties due to the content of magnesium and calcium ions.
There is an entry fee, even for those who want to live in tents. Both summer and winter fishing are possible. In winter, there is a deficiency of oxygen in the water, which negatively affects the fish living in the lake. Unlike the previous one, Alabuga is a very picturesque lake. Fishermen flock here in the hope of catching some rare fish that are actually found in this lake. These are trout, sterlet, whitefish, sturgeon, grass carp. Among the more common ones are pike, carp and crucian carp, tench, ruff, perch, chebak, burbot. These species are found here in huge quantities.
Lake Alabuga Chelyabinsk region
There are known cases when individuals of unprecedented sizes were caught - up to 8-10 kg. Stocking is carried out artificially, the population is controlled, so fishing is paid. You can fish both from the shore and from boats.
Lake Aktobe
This is a reservoir with salty alkaline water and gently sloping banks overgrown with reeds. The area is about 2.5 km², the depth is up to 4 m. In order to fish in these waters, you need to buy a permit. Fishing, as a rule, is very productive: a lot of crucian carp and carp are the main catch of fishermen. There is even muksun, but catching it is prohibited.
Perch, pike, whitefish and ripus are often caught. They fish from boats and from the shore. In winter there is practically no fishing here, as the lake tends to freeze very much.
Lake Chebakul
It is located even closer to Chelyabinsk - only 65 km. Area – 18 km², depth – 3.5-5 m. The water is healing, it contains chloride ions. The bottom is mostly sandy, with some rocky areas. At a distance from the shore there are areas with a muddy bottom, the soil of which also has healing properties. There is a birch forest around the lake, the main part of the shore is swampy and overgrown with reeds.
Paid fishing is due to artificial stocking. This lake gained its popularity due to the presence of large roach (up to 1 kg), crucian carp, peled, burbot, pike, carp and carp. They fish both from boats and from the shore. During the spring spawning period, any fishing is prohibited. Fishermen note a good bite in these waters; there have been cases when they caught huge carp weighing up to 12 kg.
Lake Tatysh
This is a small body of water with an area of about 1.7 km². A characteristic feature of this lake is flooded forest and reeds. The depth does not exceed 5 m. Fishermen can camp in tents or live in special houses on the shore. Both options are paid.

Ask a Question
Stocking is usually done with carp. It is not surprising that fishermen catch individuals up to 10 kg. In addition, there are small pike, roach, perch, and pike perch. Fish are caught from the shore, from boats and from bridges.
Paid fishing in the Chelyabinsk region
In addition to Lake Chebakul, tours to which are sold by the regional organization “Balyk”, there are private paid reservoirs in which fishing is offered by private companies. One of them is the Azart fishing complex. It is located on Lake Chebarkul, in the Chebarkul district in the west of the region. The complex's services include accommodation and fishing. Accommodation can take place in guest houses, hotel rooms and camping. There is convenient parking, a sauna, and a dining room. Services are provided for renting fishing bridges, cooking and cutting fish, as well as paid barbecues and barbecues.
Any person who has rented a place to live can fish. In fact, the choice of fishing services here is small - there is no large list of tariffs, as for paid customers near the capital. There is only one way to pay for fishing here - payment for fish caught from Lake Chebarkul after the fact. The price tags for fish, one might say, are metropolitan prices and higher. But there is sturgeon, sterlet and trout here in sufficient quantities for fishing, and the catch will always please customers. The cost of a kilogram of trout, for example, is 600 rubles, as in Moscow. Accommodation in the complex and presence on its territory is also paid. It is proposed to pay 2,500 rubles per day for a hotel room, almost the same as in the capital for renting a fishing spot. If you plan to go exclusively for fishing, then this price, given the fact that there will be almost no fisherman in the room, is a little overpriced. The price of the gazebo is also quite high - 8,000 rubles. But if you plan to have fun, you can rent both a gazebo and a room, but this has little to do with fishing. However, to each his own, and paid fishing in Chelyabinsk will suit the taste of wealthy fishermen. Many reservoirs in the region are polluted, and therefore paid fishing is one of the few ways to relax on the water without danger to health.
Fishing on the rivers of the Chelyabinsk region
Most of them are small. The nature of the river flow is usually mountainous. At one time, hazardous enterprises operated in the region. Metallurgical enterprises in the region also contribute to pollution.
Yuryuzan River
Yuryuzan is one of the longest rivers that flow through the region. Translated from Bashkir, the name of the river means “big river valley.” The river is very picturesque and flows partly through mountainous and partly through flat terrain. There are minnows, chubs, ides, and roaches. It belongs to the Caspian water basin, so some subspecies of sterlet and other migratory fish can come here. However, catching them on the river is very rare. They fish here using a feeder and a float. The river is not wide, you can fish on it using ordinary float gear, reaching up to the dump.
Bolshaya Karaganka River
Big Karaganka. The river has a fast flow, almost mountainous. It has a number of rapids and many riffles. This river attracts fishermen with its picturesque banks and aquatic fauna. Among the inhabitants of this river are minnows, chubs, and graylings. Locals successfully catch minnows with tyrant-type gear. You can use a donka with an elastic band, modernized for a tyrant, or a drop-shot type jig. The lower reaches are inhabited by pike and roach, and in places overgrown with reeds you can successfully catch crucian carp, golden and silver.
Uveika River
Refers to small rivers. It flows to the south of the region, where the environmental situation is favorable. Like most other rivers in the region, it has mountain and semi-mountain flows. There are a lot of minnows in the river, there are perch and pike. Most of the rivers in the region, except for the Yuryuzan and a number of others, belong to the basin of the Iset and Tobol rivers, which flow to the north.
Miass River
The largest river in the region. It has a fairly calm current and does not have many fast riffles. The bottom is rocky and sandy. There are several large regional cities on the river, such as Miass and Chelyabinsk itself. Here you can comfortably fish with a normal serious feeder, catch bream, crucian carp, and a number of other fish.
Attention! Unfortunately, not all rivers in the region are safe. In the north of the region, the Mayak enterprise existed for a long time, which poisoned the Techa River with waste. The same can be said about other bodies of water that have fallen into a terrible state as a result of the activities of similar facilities. Therefore, fishing in rivers should be carried out with caution to avoid cases of poisoning from the caught fish. Although there is a lot of it here. Fishing is a form of recreation that should bring health to a person.
Where and what to catch in the Chelyabinsk region
Basically, we must admit that the most promising places for a fisherman from Chelyabinsk are lakes. They are caught both from the shore and from a boat. Thickets of reeds and reeds are a feature of many local reservoirs, but more fish can be caught in these thickets than in open areas.
The most common fish here is crucian carp. It lives almost everywhere, withstands long winter periods with poor oxygen supply and finds a lot of food in reed thickets. Among the sporting methods of catching it, a float rod is used. But locals more often poach using tops - I must admit, this is one of the most effective ways of catching crucian carp in the thickets.
- Big Kuyash. An extensive reservoir with a depth of no more than 3-4 meters. The reservoir is paid, the cost is 100 rubles per day. The original inhabitant is only crucian carp, which is the most abundant here. But recently, fish species such as carp, whitefish, and peled have been introduced.
- Ulagach. The lake is located near a thermal power plant, so there is a large area that does not freeze even in winter. They fish here with jigs and spinners. The main prey is pike. There are also other types of fish - traditional crucian carp, whitefish, perch and carp. Fishing is free.
- Urefty. The lake is paid, 250 rubles per day. The depth is small. The lake is regularly stocked with many species of fish, but the only local inhabitants here are crucian carp. There are a lot of ducks on the lake, even its name is translated from Bashkir as “Duck”. Coastal areas are heavily overgrown and snarled, and the depth is shallow.
- Nyazepetrovskoe reservoir. It was formed in the post-war period after the construction of the dam. The reservoir is of semi-river type, has a weak current and great depth - up to 18 meters. The lake is famous for perch and bream, which can be caught both in summer and winter. There are many other fish species that are frequently stocked. Fishing is free.
- Quiet. The lake is quite large, but shallow. The depth is three meters, there are holes up to six meters. The banks are flat, marshy, and clayey. In rainy weather they are very washed out, so it is often difficult to drive even within the permitted 200 meters to the lake even by truck. The lake is regularly stocked with carp and grass carp, of which there are plenty of them. They get hooked by fishermen. They fish with fishing rods, donks, feeders, from a boat in a plumb line and other permitted methods.
Where is the best place to look for carp for a successful fisherman?
This fish prefers deep places with slow- moving or standing water. Selects muddy bottom. Carp can also be found in areas with a hard bottom, but avoids rocky places. Ponds with warm water overgrown with algae are the favorite habitats of carp.
Living in the Chelyabinsk region is already a gift of fate. After all, only here there are so many clean and living bodies of water. Each lake is famous for its legend, flora, fauna and landscape. Even just to enjoy it all, to breathe a breath of fresh air and complete freedom, it’s worth leaving the city. Each lake has its own secrets for catching big fish.
Lake Tishki . Here you can catch carp weighing from 0.3 kg to 5 kg, paying 300 rubles. The fish is tasty, clean, and does not have the unpleasant smell of a swamp. Today, carp live not in the reeds, but in the lake, so fishermen sit at a depth where the water is cleaner, away from the lake edge of the reeds, and only a few still sit at the shore, which rewards them with 200-gram small change.
Lake Urefty . Medium, but lean carp up to 3 kg, the ticket costs 150 rubles. It is better to catch a large specimen using bait and only from a boat, away from the shore. There is nothing to catch near the reeds, except perhaps small fish. The catch from this lake is enough to feed a family or to sell.
Lake Kainkul. Having visited this reservoir you can catch carp weighing up to 5 kg. You shouldn't sit at home and wait for miracles. You need to go to Kainkul and catch these miracles! Moreover, fishing on this reservoir is allowed for free. It is better to place donks along the southern and eastern shores. If you wish, you can rent a boat on the shore and fish from the boats.
Lake Chebakul . Carp 0.8–5 kg. The fish is tasty and fatty. Most of the fish swim near the shore, at shallow depths. Fishing is good on the right bay near the village of Chebakul, and on the clean one, not far from the bay.
Lake Uelgi . Once you get the hang of it, you can bring back some good trophies from this lake. Grass carp, silver carp, carp with good weight from 0.8 to 24 kg. You can fish both from a boat and from the shore, but first you will have to pay 250 rubles.
Lake Aydykul (Aktyuba) . Sometimes carp reaches incredible sizes - 16 kg. The smallest one stretches 0.5 kg. Here the ticket is more expensive - 350 rubles. The fish is splashing well in the grass. The area of the lake is large, so it would not hurt to have a boat and a motor for it. The lake was opened for fishing only in 2010. The caught fish always pleases the eye with its size, taste and smell.
Lake Agachkul (Sultaevka) . Carp are not easy to catch on this lake. The smallest is 2 kg; there are species up to 12 kg. The biggest picky eater. Today he eats corn, tomorrow he eats semolina balls stuffed with worms, and the day after tomorrow he “orders” steamed pasta from instant soups. They fish mainly on the shore. Great luck smiles only in bad weather. A storm wave will drive the fish into the net. And yet, this does not reduce the number of people who want to go fishing from the shore.
Lake Sagishty (Sultanovo) . For six long years, no fishermen came here except local ones. Everyone was afraid of radiation. So, the carp grew to 10 kg. But to catch a good fish you need to have skill and know some of the subtleties of fishing. Fishing with gear with animal and vegetable bait. Carp are caught well on the last ice, when they begin to become oxygen starved and they swim up to the opened ice.
Lake Tirikul . Carp from 5 kg. Under good conditions, an individual weighing up to 16 kg can bite. Here they hide in the reeds. Although fishing here doesn’t cost anything, it’s not that easy to catch either. Therefore, it is better for beginners to choose another place for fishing. Well, for the pros, the best place for fishing with a fishing rod is the southern and western coast.
Lake Treustan. Average carp from 0.6 to 14 kg. To prevent the finished fish from giving off an unpleasant taste and smell, it is better to catch it before the heat sets in. As soon as the forest swamp begins to rot, waterfowl become “unsuitable” and you can forget about fishing until mid-August. With the return of cold weather, carp regains its taste. According to fishermen, it was on this lake that a carp weighing 34 kg was caught. Anyone who wants to try their luck and catch a large carp must first pay a fee of 150 rubles.
Lake Atkul. Carp splashing here weighing from 0.6 to 8 kg, very suitable for frying and stewing. A fishing trip costs 150 rubles. If you want a quiet fishing holiday, then you shouldn’t even visit this body of water. Fishing here is more for active fishermen. If there are no characteristic splashes, then you have to fish blindly. Having thrown the gear, you have to wait 1.5–2 hours. If the result is negative, you need to move 200 meters in the direction of increasing depth. And so on until the fish finds its hook. The last time the lake was stocked with carp was from 2006 to 2008. Fed with bread, corn, and boiled potatoes.
Lake Tukwanda . In this place, the carp are large. If you are very lucky, you can catch 12 kg of fresh, tasty fish. On the left is a shoal suitable for spawning, but on the right side you can fish. For a long time, the lake was under the supervision of the military, so fishing was difficult. But today the lake is waiting for its fishermen heroes.
Lake Yau-balyk
Another body of water in the Chelyabinsk region that carp fishing lovers should visit. The catch will most often contain medium carp.
But the list of lakes in which this fish is found does not end there. You can catch carp in almost every lake. And it doesn’t matter whether you visit Bolshoy Kremenkul, Sineglazovo, Kurochkino or Lake Kasargi. In any case, you won’t leave without a lake gift in the form of carp.

Fishing on Turquoise Lake
Local and visiting fishermen say that the lake is very fishy; on a good day you can catch trout from 3 kg. The reservoir is also home to pike perch, burbot, pike, bream, sterlet, and sturgeon. If fishing is unsuccessful, then trout and sturgeon can be bought from the cage.
Since quarry-type reservoirs do not have their own food supply, the fish are constantly fed. For this purpose, young sturgeon and trout are raised in several large sections of the cage farm. Fishing on Turyuzovoe is allowed only in specially designated areas equipped with walkways and pontoons. Commercial fishing is prohibited; video cameras are installed on the coastal territory to suppress poaching. Fishing is paid: trout - from 350 rubles. per kilogram, pike and carp - from 150 rubles. per kilogram. There is also a fishing equipment rental service. All information on current prices can be found by calling the phone number listed on the official website of the trout farm.
