There are many medium and small, large and deep-water rivers in Mogilev. There are enough fishermen here. Perhaps every second man passing a reservoir, regrets that he needs to work. Stay here in silence by the water, sit with a fishing rod, watch the float. What if today it’s exactly the fish that I’ve dreamed about since last weekend ...
Fishing on the Dnieper
Many fishermen associate any mention of the city of Mogilev with the Dnieper. This is the largest waterway in the region. In addition to the Dnieper, fishing in Mogilev is carried out on the rivers Besed or Drut, Berezina or Sozh. Paid ponds, numerous lakes and reservoirs are also popular. But the Dnieper defeats all competitors and every year collects "sold out" among experienced fishermen and beginners who have come to try their fishing happiness on a large river.
Experienced experts say that fishing in Mogilev in the city is not always successful. Due to city and boat noise, as well as due to the large concentration of fishermen, especially on weekends, the fish leaves and hides, waiting for silence.
Real fishing in Mogilev on the Dnieper begins a little downstream (twenty-five kilometers). The current in these places is not so swift, the surrounding atmosphere is quiet and the river is deeper. Popular gear is donka, spinning, float fishing rod, feeder. In general, each fisherman chooses gear "for themselves." The main thing, as the locals say, is that the fishing rod should be light, but strong, well-adjusted and able to cope with large prey.
Fish in the Dnieper bites almost everything. Popular lures include peas and semolina, maggots, worms, pearl barley and millet, shells, larvae and leeches. But there were cases that a piece of ordinary polystyrene on a good day actively "went" a roach.
If you know the places, then fishing in Mogilev on the Dnieper River will bring a rich, noble catch: carps and catfish, bleak and roach, pike perch and chub, bream and burbot. Pike, perch, as well as crucian carp "with the palm of your hand" here are visible and invisible.
Sozh River
This river is in second place in popularity among Belarusian fishermen. In Europe, it is considered one of the cleanest, so the variety of predatory and peaceful fish is quite understandable here. Spinning is especially popular on this river. According to reviews, you can catch up to ten pikes in a couple of hours with such gear, each of which will weigh from two to three kilograms. Perch is also well caught, but he prefers jig more.
If you like to set difficult tasks, then try to catch the asp. There are a lot of this fish, but it is very reluctant to hook it. In order to enjoy such a catch, you will need to show maximum fishing knowledge, dexterity. Well, of course, you can’t do without luck either.
River drut
Fishing in Mogilev is also actively conducted on the Drut River. The river combines several areas at once. The length is about three hundred kilometers. The bottom is flat, sandy, without a pronounced relief, snags and vegetation. The water is calm and calm. With ease you can find a suitable place and get settled with a fishing rod. This river is attractive to anglers.
Fishing for chub, pike, scavenger, perch is popular here. Also, a frequent guest on a fisherman’s hook is catfish, ide, guster and roach. In the mornings in the summer, large bream, fatty and tasty bleak “take” well. But real fishing begins with the onset of winter. In February, when the ice becomes really strong, hundreds of fishermen go out on it. Pike and a rather large perch are the most frequent fishery during this period.
Bite forecast
If you are planning for the next vacation or weekend fishing in Mogilev, the bite forecast will be a real lifesaver. He will tell you what catch you can count on and what gear (for which fish) it is better to stock up.
So, as we already said, from February to March, perch and pike are perfectly caught. With the onset of spring, rudd and catfish, bream and pike perch, as well as common carp and bleak, join them. In summer, the pike disappears, but crucian carp and bream rush to replace it. In the autumn period, again predatory fish prevail on the hooks of fishermen.
