Local fishing
Relax on the Mastryukovskie lakes and not go fishing - it means spending time in vain. Most Russian men come here precisely for this purpose.

This can be done either from the shore or from a boat rented. In shops located on the banks, they rent out all the necessary equipment for successful fishing. Fishing and recreation on Mastryukovsky Lakes is a single, inextricable concept.

Here, in addition to unsurpassed landscapes, there are quite a few entertainments that make it possible to enjoy harmony, unity with mother nature itself. We already talked about fishing. But here you can do the collection of flowers, berries and small hazelnuts. Both locals and visitors love to feast on blueberries, raspberries and currants. And what bard songs here! ..

The object under consideration was a certain innovation in the organization of sports. Not so long ago, this place became a gathering of wakeboarders. This is one of the extreme sports that combines acrobatic elements, jumping and water skiing slalom. This is a breathtaking sight: a boat moves along a reservoir, the speed of which reaches 40 km / h, and behind it it leaves a wave used by a skier as a springboard. During the jump, the athlete performs a variety of tricks. The one who turns out to be the most risky wins.
