The gears are assembled, the worms are in stock, the fighting mood, and the weather whispers. You can hit the road. It remains only to decide where to go fishing in Belgorod and the environs of this wonderful city. This article will help you choose the best place.
General information about fishing in Belgorod and the region
Belgorod region is rather poor in water resources. But her capital was lucky - because in the territory of Belgorod there is a reservoir of the same name, and also the largest river of the Seversky Donets region flows here .
In total, there are about 500 water bodies within the region, which in general occupy one percent of the territory. Many of them are rich in fauna, which makes Belgorod region attractive enough for fishermen.
Fish are found in rivers, reservoirs, as well as in small lakes and ponds. Large reservoirs abound with roach, chub, perch, bream, and rudd. Although less common, carp, catfish, pike perch, and burbot are found. And most of all on the territory of the Belgorod region crucian carp, including golden, which is bred here at the state level.
Fishing in Belgorod and its environs is a fairly popular activity, but recently a negative trend has been observed in this area. Ponds become empty due to the large influx of people who want to fish, as well as due to pollution and shallowing.
Paid objects, the tenants of which are purposefully engaged in fish farming and monitor the condition of the ponds, somewhat alleviate the situation. There are more and more such people in the region every year, and paid fishing in Belgorod is already a common thing, although it is still inferior to the traditional seat with a fishing rod on the ownerless shore of a reservoir or river.
Belgorod reservoir - a favorite place for fishermen
Excellent fishing in Belgorod - on the reservoir, named after this city. It is very popular among the local population, since it only takes five minutes to get to it. We can say that the Belgorod reservoir is located almost in the city. In addition, the reservoir is extremely rich in fish, and there are many “hunters” with fishing rods at any time of the day or year.
During the day, fishing in the Belgorod reservoir can please guster, perch and roach, and at night - a large bream, which is especially numerous in the area of ​​the village of Ivanovka. There are also pike and pike perch, which are caught on the zerlitsa. For zander, it is better to go to the camp site "Arcadia". From its territory to the very Pulaya Bay there are a large number of representatives of this valuable species of fish.
In open water, fishing begins in April. It is during this period that the shallow water warms up, and roach, scavenger and silver breeding go out to feed it.
Common carp and large bream appear by the beginning of summer, but, as for the latter, they hunt it (as well as zander) mainly in winter. In general, winter fishing in Belgorod is more productive than at any other time of the year. It attracts not only local residents, but also avid fishermen from other regions and even neighboring countries.
Fishing at Seversky Donets
Belgorod stands on the right bank of the Seversky Donets - a picturesque, full-flowing river with a moderate course and rich fauna. She is also a favorite place for anglers.
More than forty species of fish are found in the Seversky Donets, the most common of which are bream, crucian carp, rudd, roach, pike, silver carp, perch, pike perch, chub and some others.
Hunting for zander and pike here begins in mid-spring. In May, a perch appears thirsty for food. At the same time, the roach, which hides in the middle of June, and appears again only at the end of the summer, pecks well. Hot summer days are good for catching catfish, which are mainly taken on live bait (roach, crucian carp or a bunch of worms). The most successful fishermen as a result can brag of copies weighing 10 kilograms and above.
Fishing in the "Tale of Cosiness"
If you are interested in fishing in Belgorod (paid ponds), where to go? One of the first and most popular in these parts is a place called “Tale of Comfort”, although the owners of the base themselves deny the fact that they provided paid fishing services. They emphasize that they take money for rest on the shore of the pond as a whole (arbors, barbecues, equipment rental, etc.), and fishing is just an additional opportunity. And you can implement it on the principle of "caught - let go." In the same case, if you want to take the trophies you’ve taken with you or to cook them right on the grill, you need to pay an additional amount. Moreover, each type of fish has its own price.
The administration of the facility announces a fairly large number of animals in the waters of the “Fairy Tale Cosiness” pond. This is carp, and bream, and grass carp, and loach, and roach, and catfish, and silver carp, and perch, and pike, and even trout with sturgeon. But the regulars do not confirm this information, stating that they did not meet such an abundance of fish here, but fishing in Belgorod on carp in "Tale of Cosiness" is the best of the best. You can leave with a good catch.
Paid pond in Red October
Another quite popular paid reservoir among Belgorod residents is a pond in the area of ​​the village of Krasny Oktyabr. This place is traditionally considered an object of fishing tourism. Getting to it is easy - the roads are good; the pond itself has a regular round shape with gazebos and other amenities on the shore. Carp, grass carp, and crucian carp (in large numbers) are found here.
Shagarovka
For many years, the Shagarovsky Pond was considered one of the best paid reservoirs in the Belgorod region and is well known to all local fishermen. The tenant regularly stocks it, so the “hunt” is always successful, especially for crucian carp, which is abundant here. Special bridges and arbors are equipped for fishermen.
Recently, a pond near the village of Shagarovka is gradually turning from a fishing Mecca into a complex recreation facility near the water - with beaches, barbecues and other relevant attributes, which makes it even more attractive in the eyes of the townspeople and residents of the region.
Despite the fact that the Belgorod region is not very rich in water bodies, the choice of fishing spots is quite wide. And there are objects for every taste and budget. Those who want to try their luck and feel like real hunters are likely to prefer free ponds. And those who love comfort and want to get a guaranteed result, choose ponds well-maintained by tenants. And both - good luck! Let it bite both big and small!
