Water resources of Buryatia are famous not only in Russia, but also far beyond its borders. In total there are more than 30 thousand rivers and a little more lakes. Almost all of them are ideal for fishing. Speaking of Buryatia, everyone immediately remembers Baikal. This reservoir is recognized as the deepest on the planet and the largest reservoir of fresh water. There are also other equally significant water areas. For example, Goose Lake (Buryatia). Such species of fish as perch, pike, crucian carp, ide are found here. It is unique that recently Amur carp and catfish, the Baikal omul , were discovered here . Some fishermen have even seen rattan.
Many people dream of coming to the Siberian regions in order to enjoy fishing. There are real legends about her. Local anglers argue that the catch can sometimes exceed 20 kg in a few hours. Let's look at which ponds the best fishing in Buryatia.
Lake Shchuchye
Entrance to the territory of Shchuchye Lake is paid. You will have to pay about 100 rubles for parking the car. However, fishing is worth it. Carp, roach, whitefish, bream and other species are found in the reservoir. It is worth noting that a lot of fish live in the lake. And in order to see it with your own eyes, you just need to enter the water waist-high. After standing still for 10 minutes, you can see how a flock of perch begins to surround the legs on all sides.
Basically, fishermen use worms as bait. Nibble here is just gorgeous. You can catch perch even from the shore. For larger fish it is better to swim in a boat. The bream and roach will start to peck at a depth of 3 m. Fishing in Buryatia for pike is a completely different story. You need to arm yourself with a spinning rod and swim closer to the reeds or snags. Many times you donβt have to throw it. As a rule, a predator begins to peck almost immediately.
Torma Lake
According to many fishermen, fishing in Buryatia on Lake Torma is the best. The reservoir itself is located 60 km from Ulan-Ude. The territory is not guarded, entry is free. Therefore, you can come here at any time of the day. As a rule, fishermen most often catch a silver fox here. This fish pecks anywhere in the pond. The best bait for her is dough or barley. If you use an earthworm, then the catch will consist only of perch. However, compared with the shrub, the activity of the bite will decrease slightly.
Also, crucian carp and common carp live in large numbers on the pond. Many fishermen complain that they peck very weakly. But this is not so. You just need to know the right approach. Local fishermen, before putting a fishing rod, must first feed the place. Steamed barley is ideal as bait. Last year, Lake Torma was stocked up in a peled. Now many fishermen dream that this species of fish will take root and will soon replenish their catches. The local administration is going to monitor the order on the lake and ban fishing by nets.
Selenga River
Fishing in Buryatia on the Selenga is famous all over the region. There are a lot of large fish in this river. Throwing a fishing rod, you can immediately feel the sharp jolts. Some fishermen find it very difficult to fish in such a turbulent stream. However, it's worth it. All underwater representatives have a very good appetite. Nibble here is just gorgeous.
Arriving at the Selenga, you immediately need to understand that itβs impossible to catch on the shore. It is better to choose those places where the depth reaches at least 3 m. Local fishermen recommend using a large feeder and a very powerful fishing rod. Its length is 4 m. The reason lies in a strong current. As a rule, peas or maggots are used as bait. Who can be caught in the Selenga River? Here, in large quantities, perch, pike, grayling, whitefish, omul and other types of fish are found.
Vitim River
Fishing on Vitim will please any fisherman: both a professional and an amateur. Sockeye salmon, perch, pike, taimen, bream and others are found in this pond. Many professionals advise using a boat for fishing, as near the coast the depth is shallow. The fish here are quite large. For example, in order to catch a bream, you need to find the right place. The main thing is to install the boat so that it does not move. As a rule, cargo is used for this.
Be sure to feed the place. And only after that cast a fishing rod. As bait, you need to use barley or semolina. The only thing that fishermen should remember is that the bream is quite moody. Sometimes biting has to wait for several hours. Factors that influence this may be weather conditions and time periods. The most suitable watch for fishing is in the early morning or evening.
Goose lake
As mentioned above, Goose Lake (Buryatia) is important for this region. Here they arrange not only simple fishing by boat or from the shore, but also spearfishing. Every year there are competitions between those who want to show their skills. During spearfishing, they not only enjoy themselves, but also leave with an impressive catch. As a rule, it averages about 5 kg. Large specimens of pikes and perches are found in the lake, and there is also crucian carp. However, the latter is better to catch in the winter. In this pond, feeding fish is not recommended, as this will collect only small individuals of perch.
Local advise to move to different places with a certain frequency. Fishing in Buryatia for crucian carp is carried out on a small boat of bright colors. The most suitable fishing line diameter is 0.2 mm. If you use a fishing rod with two hooks, the catch can be about 10 kg. As a bait, maggots or bloodworms are best suited.
