The Yauzskoye reservoir, which lies two hundred kilometers from the capital, has a total area of fifty-plus square kilometers. This is not a very deep body of water. On average, the depth in it ranges from four to five meters. However, the depth map of the Yauza reservoir indicates that there are holes in it, the distance to the bottom of which can be about eighteen meters.
Description
The length of the basin, formed in 1977 in the upper reaches of the river of the same name and its three tributaries - Titovka, Trupni and Lokni - by building a dam in the vicinity of the village of Karmanovo, is about twenty-five kilometers.
Due to the difference between the "big water" and the driest period, in which the depth does not exceed two hundred centimeters, there are a lot of fish for which such conditions are quite favorable.
Almost throughout the perimeter, the Yauz reservoir is surrounded by forests. It has steep shores, almost no wetlands. However, there are still no settlements around it, and there are very few automobile accesses to the water.
Fishing
The main tributary of the Yauz reservoir is the river of the same name. Since there is practically no current in the reservoir, this creates the conditions for the prosperity of many pond and lake species of the inhabitants of the underwater world. Many people think that fishing here can reward even a novice lover with an excellent catch. In addition, a large number of deep pits and steep holes create the conditions for the normal existence of predatory fish.
Fishing on the Yauz reservoir is very similar to fishing on the Vazuz reservoir, although the latter is more effective. Here also in the last few decades of the last century, poachers ruthlessly exterminated fish, and on a huge scale, since the area around is not inhabited and inaccessible to control. As a result, the pike in the pond was very difficult to meet.
Production
The Yauz reservoir is rich in underwater inhabitants. Basically, these are the types of fish that can be found on the middle course of the Volga River, with the exception of Czegon and catfish. In this artificial pond , perch with pike perch live in sufficient numbers, a pike, the number of which was hardly restored, and an asp with burbot. In addition, roach and tench, crucian carp and bream, bleak are found here, ide with rudd began to come across.
Fishing features
For many, mainly for spinning, the most interesting are predatory species of prey. This is primarily zander, perch, asp and, of course, pike. The latter in the Yauz reservoir is most often found in the edge of the flooded channel, as well as in the bays.
And in the pits there is a hunt for zander or burbot. In general, judging by the reviews, there is simply a huge amount of bream in the reservoir, so for many, fishing for this fish is a real expanse.
Fishing in the Yauz reservoir is especially good in winter - on the first ice or on the last snow. It begins in March and lasts until the end of April. At this time, roach and crucian carp are excellently caught.
Winter fishing
With the onset of cold weather, the branches of the Lokni and Trupyanka rivers begin to be of particular interest to lovers of "silent hunting." They have a good circulation of water, and therefore there is a high oxygen content, and there is a constantly directed flow. The Yauz reservoir in the winter season becomes the place where large flocks of scavenger and roach migrate. And, of course, predators keep close to them.
The prey is caught here using the zergolits. As a nozzle, live bait is excellent, the habitat of which is the Yauz reservoir.
It should be noted that today there is more pike perch in the pond than pike. The perch, occupying its own niche, reaches quite decent sizes here. These trophy specimens come across at the confluence of the Yauza reservoir in the area of the village called Bolshoi Nosy.
Reviews
As amateurs testify, the main concentration of fishermen is observed near the villages of Pudysh, Petushka or Arzhaniki. Here you can always find a feeding place with a more or less stable bite. Basically, it’s difficult to get to the flocks of scavengers in a reservoir, so it makes sense to stop in places that have already been sufficiently explored by local fishermen.
Judging by the reviews, the Yauz reservoir is a real treasure for lovers of large roach. This fish keeps on the mouths of streams and streams flowing into the reservoir.
What to catch
White fish are caught mainly on mormyshka, sometimes on bloodworms. Predators get well with the help of ventricles. Fishermen use bait fish caught here.
The depths at which fish are caught, judging by the reviews of fishermen arriving at the Yauz reservoir, reach about eight meters, and in the floodplains of the river branches of Savinka or Trupyanka - about five. Very catchy places in the area of the villages Kurdyuki and Pudyshka. Here, in heavily enclosed areas, there is always a large population of zander, which is very active in the winter months.
How to catch
Many regulars probably know that winter fishing at the Yauz reservoir for pike perch takes place in the same places as in spring or summer. These are driftwoods about from the edge, steep bends at the bottom, pits in river beds, where there are clean areas. It is in such places that you need to install girders. At the same time, as professionals say, during fishing for zander, you need to carefully monitor the gear. If you miss the time, then production, breaking the fishing line, just go into snag.
Small-sized specimens of pikeperch can be caught here by the method of sheer gait. The bait works especially well for this fish, in which one side - the outer one - is made of brass, and the other has a steel or silver color.
Popularity
Fishing in this reservoir during the hot months is characterized by inaccessibility to its northern section. However, if there is a motor boat, then for amateurs an excellent opportunity opens up for fishing in areas located far from habitable places. Here, with a fishing rod, you can get a good catch of bream and roach, scavenger, silver bream, bleak.
Not only fishing, but also recreation on the banks of the Yauz reservoir are popular among residents of Moscow who come here to enjoy the local nature, spend a weekend or just have a picnic. This is very convenient, since it’s only two hundred kilometers to the reservoir from the capital along the Volokolamsk direction. For a comfortable stay, several modern tourist camps have been built here, where you can rent a boat and, after receiving useful advice from experienced fishermen, go to the middle of the reservoir for a good catch. Here you can also get a fishing license.
