Reservoirs of the Leningrad Region of greatest interest to savage fishermen

Ladoga lake

Lake Ladoga is the largest freshwater body of water in Europe. Its area is 17.87 thousand square meters. km. Geographically, the lake is located in the Leningrad region and the
Republic of Karelia . The ichthyofauna of Ladoga is represented by 53 species and varieties of fish.
Ladoga seagulls [/ caption] For fishermen of St. Petersburg and the Leningrad region, the following types of fish are favorite objects of fishing in Ladoga:

• perch;
• roach;
• Pike;
• zander;
• bream;
• dace;
• silver bream;
• ruff;
• burbot.

All these fish, with the exception of pike perch and burbot, can be caught both in the open water period and from the ice. Pike perch in Ladoga is not caught in winter, and burbot, accordingly, is rather difficult to catch when the water in the lake is warm. Of course, you should take into account the spawning prohibitions that apply to bream, pike and zander. The southern coast of Ladoga is considered more promising for fishing, starting from the source of the Neva and up to the mouth of the Svir. To the north of the source of the Neva, the Petrokrepost Bay was previously considered a very catchy place.
It is not far from the northern capital, there are bases where you can rent a boat, and it is not necessary to go a considerable distance from the coast. Approximately from the beginning of July (depending on the weather) a perch began to peck, moreover, schooling and of a decent size. Twitching wobblers ,
light jig with small silicone lures , sometimes spinning lures , poppers and walkers were considered optimal lures for hunting perch
. Perch cauldrons were not uncommon.
For some unknown reason, in recent years, perch has ceased to enter the bay. On some days, you can count on a decent catch, the rest of the time it is better to focus on pike fishing. Pike is caught with a variety of lures. In summer, fishermen predominantly prey on small pike; by autumn, its size increases. You can also count on a trophy. White fish bite almost throughout the open water season, but much better during the spawning season.

Carefully! In winter, Petrokrepost is not caught in the Bay because of the dangerous ice, since the constant current towards the Neva erodes it.

Another interesting place along the northern bank of Ladoga is the mouth of the Burnaya River. Perch and white fish are still present in abundance, although perch here is a starting point – on some days it is dense, on others it is empty, completely from the word. The situation with other predators is deplorable. If the pike can still be caught, then the pike perch is practically gone. The reason for this is clear – the increased fishing pressure many times over. How to catch pike perch in the Leningrad region in 2021 with a savage – a report from our author, the freshest data on the latest news from the reservoir: https://tytkleva.net/rybolovnye-mesta/lovlya-sudaka-v-leningradskoj-oblasti.htm For Priozersk the Ladoga skerries begin. The places are certainly beautiful, but not very fishy. To successfully fish any fish there, you need to know the water area very well. The depths are very deep, and it is quite difficult to find fish without an echo sounder.
On the southern shore of Ladoga, the following are promising places for fishing and recreation for the savage:

1. Nazia . The closest place to St. Petersburg where you can launch a floating craft. In late April and early May, you can get on the course of roach, which is caught with a float tackle. In the summer there are chances to fish schooling perch, and in the fall – pike;
2. Lower Shadikha . There is no exit to Ladoga from Novoladozhskoe in this place. If you have a powerful motor, you can start further along the channel. In winter, they go out into the lake from Shadikha on foot, and if the ice is strong enough, they leave on various types of equipment, although it should be recalled that driving by cars is prohibited, and moreover, it is more dangerous than snowmobiles and “motorized dogs”. The main catch of winter fishermen in Schaldikha is perch. Most anglers practice fishing with winter lures and balancers, some prefer a jig with a bloodworm. Reel-less fishing has become more and more popular in recent years;
3. Lavrovo . Next village on the course. Mouth of the Lava River. In summer, it is difficult to go to Ladoga because of the marshy shores and shallow depth at the mouth.

Attention! In winter, go out into the lake with caution, as ice can be dangerous.

It is also worth fishing on the following lakes:

1. Ryogovo . You will not find such a place on the map. Once upon a time there was a village with that name. But fishermen know him very well – in winter you can run into schooling perch here. They are moving towards the islands called Zelentsy. Perch can be found both at a depth of 2 meters and at a depth of 4 meters.
2. Kobona . A very popular place – both in summer and winter. In winter, they catch mainly perch, although roach bite on maggots regularly, especially with proper feeding. In summer, they mainly fish by trolling. Pike (often large) and perch are also found. Schooling perch is usually suitable in October. They catch him at a distance of 3-6 km from the coast with a light jig, sometimes with wobblers. But ice fishing in recent years is not encouraging. For unknown reasons, the perch became scarce.
3. Ice . Exit into the lake from the canal is possible only when the water level is very high. In winter, it is enough to cross or cross a low hillock and you are already on the ice. A good perch-roach place, but also in recent years it does not please with an abundance of fish and ice conditions.Roach goes well to the feeder in autumn [/ caption]
4. Black . The perfect place to start the ice fishing season. Ice rises here even earlier than on many lakes. Perch is usually caught regularly, although not large. The pike bite on winter girders , but the pressure is very high – sometimes it is difficult to find a place where you can put your tackle. In early summer and autumn, pike bite along the reed line – on wobblers and spoons .
5. Ligovo . A small village on the banks of the Novoladozhsky canal. Two narrow channels go out to Ladoga. When the water level is low, it can be difficult to walk under the motor. You can get there in summer by boat (preferably with a motor), in winter by car or other equipment. In spring, roach bites well on a float. Pike and perch can be caught all year round (except during ban periods). From the ice, pike is successfully caught not only on girders, but also on large balancers next to the reed. The area of ​​reed thickets is significant: they have inland lakes, where pike fishing is promising in autumn. True, the bite strongly depends on the water level in Ladoga – the less, the better.
6. Dubno . They get there in the same way as in Ligovo, although there is a difficult road from Krenice. Fishing is similar to that in Ligovo, but there are more opportunities. The depths begin closer to the shore. When fishing with trolling, there is a high probability of catching zander. In calm weather and in the presence of a powerful motor, you can reach the Varetsky cans, where large ides peck at the spinner, perch and pike for various lures.
7. Krenice . The village is entered from the Murmansk highway (now called “Kola”). On their own or rented boat (speedboat) they go to the Volkhov River, and then to Ladoga. In June, pike perch bite at the mouth of the Volkhov, however, it often passes before the ban on catching it ends. In Volkhov itself, you can catch catfish and asp, which, for unclear reasons, are now listed in the Red Book of the Leningrad Region. Closer to July, the pike perch moves away from the coast and is caught by trolling with wobblers . They leave for a considerable distance from the coast. Often caught opposite the mouth of the Syas River. Even at great depths under the boat, baits are carried at least 5 meters from the surface of the water, and in calm weather they are buried 1-2 meters, since at night the pike perch rises to the surface.

Where to go in winter

In winter, perch and pike are the main prey. The latter is caught both with girders and with artificial baits. In January, the burbot that goes to spawn bites, and more often turns purple. Its size is not impressive;

Note! You can get to the catchy places on foot only with good health and long daylight hours. If your own transport is not available, fishing bases provide delivery to the ice for a reasonable price.

Places you can get on your own:

• The mouth of the Svir. A promising place for catching predators and bream. A significant disadvantage is far from the city: 200 km by car to the village of Sviritsa and about 10 km along the Svir (in summer by boat, in winter by equipment). But the quantity and quality of fish justifies the moral and material costs.

The mouth of the Svir on the online map – to help fishermen going fishing in the Leningrad region:

Part of the mouth is located on the territory of the Nizhnesvirsky Reserve and it is strongly discouraged to swim there.

The Gulf of Finland

Also a very interesting pond for anglers. The following places can be recommended for successful fishing:

• The dam is a complex of protective structures designed to protect St. Petersburg from floods. It should be noted that the dam geographically belongs to St. Petersburg. The fish is caught in a variety of ways, namely:
  • pike perch – in summer (banned until July 1) – for jig and spaced rigs, sometimes for wobblers and VIBs;
  • perch – in the second half of summer on the same rigs, but more miniature;
  • bream – on board fishing rods from a boat and a feeder from a dam;
  • roach – in the spring to float from the dam and in the summer to the feeder;
  • gustera – similarly;
  • sabrefish – in June on the donks with heavy loads from the dam;
  • smelt. This fish, which is a symbol of St. Petersburg, is caught in autumn, winter and spring.

Fishing places in the Gulf of Finland, where a true lover of wild fishing places should go – online map:

Interesting! If in the twentieth century smelt was caught only from ice, starting in February, now smelt fish open the fishing season from boats in November and close in April – also from boats (if there is no ice already).

In winter, it happens that there is nowhere for an apple to fall on the ice. Unfortunately, if 15-20 years ago the average weight of a smelt was 50 grams, now 20 grams is considered a common result.

South coast of the Gulf of Finland

In winter, the fisherman prey on the same smelt and, at times, medium-sized perch, sometimes pike perch. The most famous places:

• Big Izhora;
• Black Lakhta;
• Gull;
• Lebyazhye;
• Red hill;
• Garkolovo;
• Brooks;
• Vistino.

The southern coast of the Gulf of Finland on the online fishing map:
It should be noted that ice breaks most often occur along the South Coast, so fishing there is unsafe. In addition, reliable ice in this area does not happen every winter.

Northern coast of the Gulf of Finland

Also a Mecca for smelt. In some places, small local perch is almost always present, sometimes a larger entry perch is suitable. The most popular places are as follows:

• Sestroretsk-Resort. In winter – smelt, perch;
• Repino-Komarovo-Zelenogorsk-Ushkovo – similarly. In summer, pike perch is caught in large quantities by trolling, which, unfortunately, in recent years, like smelt, has been greatly reduced in size;
• Ozerki-Okunevaya Bay-Ermilovskaya Bay. Smelt and perch.

Vyborg Bay

In the water area of ​​the Vyborg Bay there are many islands of various sizes, the bottom topography is varied, there are many bays and bays. Important! The advantage of the Gulf of Finland is that there is no prohibition on sailing under a motor (with the exception of some bays) and the Fishing Rules differ from those for other parts of the Leningrad Region. For example, bream and pike perch can be caught until May 20, but not until July 1. Who can you catch in the Vyborg Bay? The following types of fish:

• roach – always;
• silver bream always. There is a lot of her here;
• bream. In May in shallow waters, in summer and autumn at depths;
• perch. Small perch is caught all year round. Larger ones are hunted at certain periods of time and in specific places;
• zander. It bites “on the track” in the summer, in the fall on jig and spaced rigs, in the winter – on spoons, balancers and VIBs. The size is mostly small;
• Pike. It is caught almost all year round with a variety of lures, which are selected depending on the places of fishing.

Vyborg Bay on the map of the region:
The most popular places are as follows:

• Pribylovo;
• Glebychevo;
• Landyshevka;

Review of another lake in the Leningrad region – report and the latest vivid video 2021 from Lake Shchalo: https://youtu.be/X9q81LnXcCw

Shallow, Lugovoe, Volochaevskoe

These three lakes are considered spawning grounds, and therefore fishing is prohibited there all year round. The fish protection conducts constant raids, so it is better not to risk it, although there are a lot of pike there.

Silande, Michurinskoe, Red, Ulovnoe

Once in these lakes it was possible to fish of a decent size. Due to the fact that the shores of these reservoirs are occupied by summer residents and villagers who cannot imagine their leisure time without setting up Chinese nets, the fish has become scarce and its size causes sadness. The lakes are of interest for sports anglers in winter competitions, since they contain a lot of small, slow-growing perch, and it is he who is the object of fishing with sport spinners.

Vuoksa

Vuoksa is divided into a river flowing from Finland and a lake in the Priozersk region. The river is less visited and you can catch trophy pike perch and pike in it. A lot of bream. In the lake, fish are smaller and they continue to be knocked out with nets, and not by local residents, but by tourists, of whom there are a huge number in the summer season.
Nevertheless, experienced anglers from time to time catch giant pikes in the lake pits with large trolling wobblers. Pike perch fishing in the Leningrad region, Vuoksa – new report 2021: https://youtu.be/nTFrUuo-za0
