Fishing on Lake Pleshcheevo
The Nikitsky Compound, in its booklet, offers guests such a now particularly popular holiday as fishing. About this passion of many people, which inevitably instills love of the Motherland through unity with nature, the character of Aleksey Buldakov, General Ivolgin, miraculously said:
“Is it our fault that we were born in Russia? And sometimes we need just a little bit, so as not to lose the ground under our feet, the feeling of homeland, peace: a quiet river, a small forest lake and simple tackle. ”
Substantial and interesting fishing on Lake Pleshcheevo! The water in the lake is salty, transparent, fed by springs. With a calm surface, the depth is visible at 10 meters. It is unique in its own way: formed during the ice age, has a relatively shallow funnel shape. It is here, on this lake in the distant XVIII century, with the construction of Peter I of his amusing flotilla, the history of the Russian fleet takes its count. There are legends among the people that this reservoir has a double bottom, on the second level of which relict fish live. This mysticism attracts tourists to it.
Having paid 250 rubles. for a day of fishing, you can put up a tent on the shore or take advantage of the infrastructure of one of the many recreation centers created specifically for fishermen. Those who wish are allowed fishing strictly on a spinning rod or on a fishing rod from a boat (without a motor) or from the shore.
The pleasure for fishermen is brought by catching both predatory fish: burbot, pike, perch, as well as carp, silver bream, crucian carp, roach, rudd. However, fishing lovers consider a small northern fish a vendace, which once was part of the coronation dinner of Russian tsars, to be a special trophy.

Kitesurfing is cultivated in this pond: the practitioner glides on the board along the waves behind a parachute. This sport is the most difficult in terms of mastering the technique. The coordination necessary for such an exciting sport is achieved as a result of the assimilation of a number of lessons given by the coaches located on the coast of kaitstani. The latter are located near the village of Veskovo.
