You can catch a line on the territory of the so-called flooded garden. This area is suitable only for patient fishermen, but the reward promises to be large. Incidentally, rudd rubs abound here.
Carpenter is waiting
In the warm season you can get a few kilograms of roach in a short time near the Semsky Bridge. It is most convenient to catch it from the dam, and the nibble here is the best. However, purposefully looking for roach, you should pay attention to the boat station: not far from it there are concrete slabs from which this fish is caught very well.
With a boat, you can swim away. At a distance from the coastal strip, carp is abundant in abundance. It’s better to catch it in a dump. On average, the fish caught here weigh one and a half kilograms. You need to understand that it is during the warm season that the Minsk Sea will have the most competitors. However, not only them: the place is also popular among vacationers, so on the weekends you still have to look for a quiet backwater. As mentioned above, the width of the pond is four kilometers, so there is every chance to find a suitable location.
Important Features
Anyone can get to the Minsk Sea: admission is free, travel is open, no one needs to pay money. True, certain rules apply, non-compliance with which will lead to penalties.

The Minsk Sea belongs to the category of lakes. Here, in addition to those mentioned above, catfish live, and there were a lot of pikes this year, next year, as promised, there will be more. This is due to the initiative to colonize several tons of this fish in a reservoir.

We stock as we can
Last year, a rather large number of carps and crucians were released into the Minsk Sea. Most brought pike: in several batches, the weight of only one of them amounted to three tons. The event was organized at the initiative of the state community of fishers, hunters. Thousands and thousands of fish settled in the reservoir for the joy of people and for the benefit of nature. The event did not happen by chance; a scientific justification was even brought under it. After some time, in the spring, cupid, tench, and catfish were additionally delivered to the reservoir.
However, the scientific justification is scientific, but the initiative arose at the request of fishing connoisseurs. To determine the most suitable reservoirs, surveys were even conducted to find out where people prefer to fish, and also evaluated potential areas by area - stocking up small reservoirs is unpromising.
