80 kilometers from the city of Orenburg is located the Chernovskoe reservoir. It got its name due to the fact that it was built on the Chernaya river. The people also call it Dmitrovskoe Reservoir (Orenburg).
Briefly about the reservoir
The reservoir was built in 1986 to irrigate the surrounding land. However, this is not his only purpose. Also, the reservoir was used for breeding fish. And it is worth noting that still a large number of different representatives live here.

On the right bank of the reservoir you can find the so-called Red Steep. This place is a cliff of red sandstone. In height, it reaches 15-18 meters. This place looks especially impressive during sunset, when it is illuminated by the rays of the crimson sun. Almost a good asphalt road leads to the reservoir itself, so there should be no problems with how to get to it.
Fishing
Dmitrovskoye Reservoir (Orenburg), fishing in these parts is the most popular, is in great demand, both among professionals and amateurs. It is inhabited by several species of fish. For example, zander, ruff, bream and crucian carp. Since 2013, a project has been working, the essence of which is the stocking of the Chernivsk reservoir. This means that the reservoir, which is already a favorite place of the surrounding fishermen, will attract even more people from different regions of Russia who prefer to spend their leisure time with a fishing rod in their hands.
In order not to leave without a catch, you need to know a lot of subtleties. For example, certain species of fish require tracking them across almost the entire body of water. Therefore, fishing will be more effective only in a team. For those people who like a more active pastime, you can arrange perch fishing. Dmitrovsky reservoir (Orenburg), reviews of experienced fishermen to this confirmation, is rich in this type of fish. As a rule, you can sit with a fishing rod right on the shore. Many argue that catching half a bucket in an hour is quite realistic.
However, there are fish species that require a long wait, such as bream. For this, the fishermen choose the best place, place the bait, and within a few hours their work will certainly succeed.
It is worth noting that fishing is allowed in the reservoir only by legal means (fishing rods) and only for yourself. Not on an industrial scale. Recently, the Dmitrov reservoir (Orenburg) has become a venue for competitions in bottom fishing.
Leisure
The rather large size of the reservoir contributes to the prosperity of water activities here. Lovers of water skiing and jet skis gather at the pond. As well as kiting.

It is such exquisite and interesting entertainment that the Dmitrovskoye Reservoir (recreation center) provides. Thanks to this, Orenburg became famous throughout Russia.
A similar sport popular here is called windsurfing. The movement of the board also occurs due to the wind, only the sail attaches directly to the board itself. Outwardly, it resembles a very simplified version of a sailing boat with an absent rudder. Manage such a board by tilting the mast in the right direction.
