Saratov region is very rich in water resources. Therefore, fishing on its territory is no less exciting and promising than in many other Russian regions. Fans of "quiet hunting" are especially attracted to fishing in Saratov, because Mother Volga flows here.
Catchy places
This largest river has a very rich ichthyofauna. Fishing in Saratov - on the Volga - attracts with its diversity. Thousands of people come here from all over Russia.
It is to taste not only for those who like to relax in nature with a fishing rod, but also for those who come to hunt for a trophy specimen. Here spinningists and feeders find their place. In general, fishing in Saratov is very catchy. This is due to the fact that the city is located in the upper Volgograd reservoir. Such a large water area has an excellent effect on the number of fish and its size. Of course, real trophy specimens began to come across less and less, but you can safely count on medium-sized mining.
Reservoir fishing
Fishing in Saratov involves a variety of fishing methods, although fishing from a boat still prevails here. When fishing white fish, many prefer bream using on-board fishing rods. Moreover, according to the classic version - with a nod bite alarm.
In addition, the great depth of the reservoir is excellent for trolling. You can catch a large specimen in this way with high probability.
For bream and other types of white fish, fishermen sometimes go very far. After all, the size of the Volgograd reservoir is really impressive. In addition to bream, you can catch here bream, ide, large roach.
Often, fishing in Saratov ends with a good catch of predators: perch with perch, pike or asp. They are caught here by spinning spinning or trolling. Moreover, lovers of the latter look every year more. This is explained by the fact that it is much easier to catch a predator without making an effort than constantly “pulling” the rod and working with a reel.
Paid fishing
In Saratov, on the banks of the reservoir, in recent years, many fishing bases have been built in which you can not only rent a boat and use the services of a huntsman, but also go to a dedicated lured place for fishing peaceful species of fish.
There are many in the vicinity of the city and commercial reservoirs, especially those with carp or carp orientation. The latter are very popular, because in such ponds you can catch grass carp.
Even with such a huge body of water as a reservoir nearby, many local residents are still more attracted to fishing in Saratov precisely at paid ponds, since this is, firstly, coastal fishing, and secondly, there is a high likelihood of catching it. And we are even talking about trophy specimens.
Summer and spring fishing
In early spring, when the Volga and many other rivers that flow in this region are not yet free of ice, roach actively pecks in the holes drilled by fishermen. Well, in the summer, there is no shortage of underwater mining in the Saratov reservoirs. From the Volga you can fish pike, carp, grass carp,
ide, silver carp, etc.
Winter fishing
In Saratov, places where you can sit with a fishing rod are numerous. Moreover, fishing takes place here year-round, however, with small interruptions occurring during the period of freezing and freezing, as well as a spawning ban in certain places. Therefore, in winter, fishing here is in full swing, and sometimes even more productively than in summer. Many people prefer to go not to a reservoir or river, the ice on which is sometimes very dangerous, but to ponds where there are places specially equipped for this occupation.
The prey for fishing in the winter in Saratov is the same as in other seasons, with the exception, however, of an asp or catfish.
Features of winter fishing
Local residents mainly concentrate their efforts on stationary bream fishing, although there are quite a lot of lovers of fishing for balance and lure of pike perch. Moreover, you can catch this valuable prey on the Volga, in wintering pits. Those who are going to catch fishing in the reservoirs are choosing: bream, common carp, perch and pike. Heavy winter fishermen use mormyshki. On the first ice roach or perch is well caught on it. Zhergilka “works” better for the pike, which are better to place partly along the banks of the reservoir near the reeds and partly in a straight line to its very middle, but so that they can be seen by anglers sitting with a fishing rod by the hole. Locals planted immediately caught roach on hooks. In this case, it is desirable to shade the hole with ice crumb. Fishing for live bait is most often successful in cloudy weather.
Good results can be achieved both with bait in small portions, and when fishing "on the dregs", which must be created in the hole. If the bite in this pond is weak, then it is better to look for a better place. On the river and a relatively large pond, the search for catchy sites is carried out in different ways. In the first case, you need to focus on the coastal zone, and in the second - move either to the middle of the reservoir or away from it. It should be remembered that at the beginning and at the end of ice freezing, perches are kept in thickets of grass or in shabby places, and roach prefers a sandy flat bottom, where there is a weak current.
Winter to zander
Many fishermen like ice fishing in Saratov on this underwater inhabitant. It can be caught with balancers and special spinners on hand.
In February, pikeperch
fishing is especially successful at a depth where water does not warm above four degrees of heat. These conditions are most comfortable for the food fry, which make up the main diet of zander in the winter. February weather in the region is usually quite variable, so anglers try not to miss fishing on clear frosty days. On such days, fishing in Saratov for pikeperch is the most successful. You can catch this fish no less successfully with a thaw or snowfall. The catch of pike perch depends on its need for food. Feeling hunger, this fish goes hunting regardless of the time of day. And if
Since zander fishing coincides with its similar activity, a good catch in the winter is provided.
Fishing in Saratov is interesting not only for professionals, but also for lovers. Interestingly, among the locals there are plenty of fish.
