Any fisherman dreams of a rich catch and the largest prey, a photograph of which can be shown to relatives and friends for a long time. Shabrovsky Pond is one of the most interesting places in Yekaterinburg. This is a paid reservoir created on the Aramilka River. Waterfowl live here during the summer. At the place where the Aramilka River flows into the pond, beavers and muskrats live. The dimensions of the reservoir are small, the average depth is 3 meters.
How to get there
The most popular body of water in Yekaterinburg is the Shabrovsky Pond. Paid fishing attracts tourists with a wide variety of underwater inhabitants. The cost, of course, is rather big, but with a minimal skill in handling gear you will be satisfied with the result.
To go very close - just 17 km from the border of Yekaterinburg, along the Polevsky tract. In order not to get lost on the way, go to the fishery website in advance and see how your path will go. It is impossible to get lost, the road goes straight almost all the time. Unless to the very end of the route you need to go a little to the right, but you can ask the locals.
Those who have already been to these places warn: as soon as you leave Yekaterinburg, you will get to the village of Sysert.
VIP area
Shabrovsky Pond is an excellent area for a relaxing holiday. However, if you are waiting for a fantastic catch, then for you there is a specially separated backwater. Its area is approximately 1.5 hectares, and its depth is 2 meters. It is separated from the main reservoir by a grid. The density of inhabitants here is about 2 tons per 1 ha. At this level, it is supported during the year by weekly launches.
Each lover has his own fish
Shabrovsky pond stocks up depending on the season, so everyone can choose the most suitable time for fishing. Carp is considered the most interesting prey, here you can catch specimens weighing from 2 to 10 kg. And, of course, for every avid fisherman it is considered a success to pull out the trout. True, it is not too large - up to 1.5 kg, but from it you can cook amazing dishes, delicious and nutritious.
But that is not all. Experienced fishermen say that the Shabrovsky pond is an ideal place to not only satisfy your desire to sit with a fishing rod, but also to please your relatives with excellent trophies. Bream and pike perch weighing up to 3 kg peck so often that even a novice can please. In the thickets of reeds there are stunning specimens of pikes and burbots up to 8 kg. Whitefish, sturgeon and stellate stork, as well as perch and chebak are pecking. It is simply impossible to stay here without a catch.
Infrastructure and inventory
The VIP zone is equipped with walkways in order to conveniently fish from the shore. On the shore there are cozy gazebos for corporate meetings, individual tables and benches, as well as a wonderful bathhouse, in which it is so nice to bask after a day on the lake. Any equipment can be rented. On the base there is also a free sale of bait and baits.
You can fish not only in the VIP zone, but the chances of bringing home a rich catch from here are much greater.
In the summer, the Shabrovsky Pond is incredibly popular. Paid fishing gives an incredible experience, allows you to feel like a real getter and feel incredible tension when a large fish beats, trying to free itself. In summer they usually catch on spinning, fly fishing and float fishing rods. Donks are often used. In the cold season, it is best to take a winter fishing rod. However, there is some limitation: for each fisherman no more than two rods with one or two hooks.
Entry Rates

Perhaps your hunting passion can be satisfied elsewhere for free. So, spending time with a fishing rod on the main body of water costs 850 rubles per day. If we assume that the catch will be 7-8 kg, then it turns out not so expensive.

Reservoir description
Let's talk a little about what Shabrovsky Pond is. Fishing, reviews of which may be different, depending on the luck and skills of the person himself, is certainly good, but the description of the place itself where you have to spend some time is interesting.
In fact, the lake is very beautiful, it is noted by everyone who comes here for the first time. The pond is very similar to Kalinovka with picturesque shores with birch trees, compact in size, but there is a lack of some grooming. Somewhere you can see the walkways, but there are few bins, in another place, on the contrary, you will not find a single container for collecting garbage. Therefore, there is no perfect purity. No, the garbage is not lying in heaps, but for the 850 rubles that you paid for the entry, I would like the best. Although it can reasonably be objected that payment is made for caught fish, and not for admiring the beauties.
Admin guarantees
By charging you, the employees of the base guarantee that you will have every chance of a large catch. The pond works at any time of the year, day or night, so welcome. Weekly stocking by large underwater inhabitants occurs, which means that you do not need to wait until the released fry turn into an attractive fish.
What else is attractive to Shabrovsky pond? Paid fishing (reviews from amateurs fully confirm this) allows you to catch all species living in this region in one place. In addition, the lake has an interesting zoning. An experienced fisherman and a novice will both find options for practicing this art. Of course, success is not guaranteed. It depends on your skills, the right choice of gear and place of fishing.
Catch rates
We will tell you in more detail about the conditions that Shabrovsky Pond offers. Paid fishing attracts tourists with the opportunity to catch trophy prey, hitherto unprecedented pike or delicious sturgeon. As for the general reservoir, the following rates await you. So, 4 kg of trout or 5 kg of other fish costs 1300 rubles per day. Experienced fishermen can take an hourly rate, then in 60 minutes you will give 200 rubles and you can pull out 5 kg of trout or burbot or 10 kg of other inhabitants of the depths. In the evening, the hourly rate rises to 500 rubles.
VIP fishing rules
It is allowed to fish only on COFI gear, the reliability of which is not in doubt by the administration. All caught fish must be weighed. At the same time, only 15 fishermen are launched into the stocked part of the lake. It is strictly forbidden to release captured trophies. By the way, no benefits are provided. Women and children make a full deposit. At the same time, only fishermen and employees of the administration are in the VIP zone. No third parties. It is strictly forbidden to light a fire and put up tents. The rules, as you see, are quite ordinary. Some fish farms have even stricter fishing restrictions.
The cost of fishing in the VIP zone
She's a little different. Here a day costs 300 rubles, but you need to leave a deposit, which is 3000 rubles. Why - are you surprised? The fact is that the payment for the caught fish takes place in fact, and in order to prevent the successful fisherman from unlocking, that he arrived without money (you can’t release the catch back), we introduced such a measure. That is, no one is going to give money to you, the amount will simply be counted on your own carps.
After you returned from fishing, all the fish caught will be weighed and, with this in mind, will bill you. Trout costs 500 rubles per kilogram, whitefish - 300, pike - 200, pike perch - 400, bream - 200, burbot - 500 rubles. Having considered all the expenses, we can conclude that it will be much cheaper to buy fresh fish in a store than to disappear all day on the lake. However, how much pleasure can be obtained when the fishing rod bends once again under the weight of a silver creature!
Tourists reviews
Since the lake is very popular, we can conclude that fishing is going well here, otherwise the second time no one would come. However, you can find many reviews where people describe that they simply spent time and money in vain and returned home empty-handed. However, most of the time it’s not about the VIP zone, it’s difficult to stay without fish here. Underwater inhabitants are capricious, changing weather or inappropriate gear, lack or excess of bait - all this affects the catch. So consult with experienced fishermen and the next time you will definitely come back with fish.
