For many, this may seem surprising, but such places can be found literally two hundred kilometers from the capital, where there are almost untouched by civilization corners of nature.
Fishing in the Ryazan region among residents of nearby regions is just as popular as in all other areas of our vast Russia. Many people like to actively relax, preferring this particular type of pastime.

Shilovo
The farther the townspeople move away from Moscow in search of interesting places for fishing, the more annoying it is to end up returning with nothing. Therefore, those who are not satisfied with this prospect, it is better to go to the time-tested, rich in fish places. Two such sites are on the Oka River in the vicinity of the city of Kasimov in the Ryazan Region. Boat fishing is usually common here. It begins on the tenth of July and lasts exactly a month.
Fishing in Shilovo, Ryazan region, enjoys well-deserved fame among local residents. This site is never empty, because there are enough “points” for fishing, and indeed the fish itself, for everyone. Here they catch a turntable, a jig, along the edge on the Oka there is a wonderful nibble.
Winter fishing
All reservoirs in the Ryazan region are endowed with a certain status: they are either publicly available or leased, and in this case fishing is paid for them. Winter fishing in the Ryazan region begins from the moment when the ice cover has already reached the desired thickness. At this time of the year, zander and bream, roach or perch most often become prey. They are caught throughout the winter, from the first freezing up to spring.
For this, a variety of types of lures are used. Pike, for example, are best caught in the season when the temperature is kept at about zero degrees. In small rivers and lakes in winter, the fish suffers greatly from killing, so most of them migrate to Oka in the fall, and in the spring they again rise from it to their favorite habitats, where they feed and begin to spawn in secluded and warm plants.
Fishing rules
Sturgeon species that are not permitted for fishing are those species that are also listed in the Red Book.
In addition, the deadlines were established during which fishing in Ryazan is prohibited by all other methods, except for float or bottom fishing rods, in the amount of two pieces per person and in places where fish do not spawn. For example, from April 1 to May, you can not catch pike and ide, a little later - asp.
