Winter fishing in the Moscow region – the season 2023 is open

There are many fishermen among the inhabitants of such a huge metropolis as Moscow. There are not many places for fishing in the capital itself, therefore, if there is no way to go to more distant regions, you have to fish in the Moscow region. However, one should not think that the reservoirs located not far from Moscow are experiencing such strong fishing pressure that there can be no successful fishing in them. It is quite possible to have fun and count on a good catch, both in summer and in winter. Moscow region on the fishing map online:

Where to fish in the winter in the Moscow region

The most popular among anglers are the following reservoirs of the Moscow region:

Reservoirs

Ruza reservoir

Fishermen are well aware of the catching areas of this reservoir. In the area of ​​the confluence of the Pravaya Pednya River, there is a bay, where there are good chances to catch scabbard, perch, pike and pike perch.

girders , although perch with pike perch respond well to artificial baits on the first and last ice.

Mozhaisk reservoir

It is one of the most popular ice fishing spots in the Moscow region. For perch, experienced fishermen advise to go to the area of ​​the village of Kriushino. It is better to catch it in the coastal area, where there are many flooded snags and aquatic vegetation. Bream can be caught all over the water area, just like roach. The depths in the reservoir are shallow, the current is weak and even a beginner can boast of a good catch.

Istra reservoir

The reservoir is famous for the large number of places where you can count on successful fishing. The most catching areas are considered to be the water area on the Kutuzovsky Bay near the village of Timofeevka and the village of Pokhlebayka. Here you can successfully fish for perch, ruff, pike and pike perch, although for the latter it is better to go to the village of Friday. Perch and pike are also well fished in the coastal area near the confluence of the Nudol and Chernushka rivers. Bream and roach peck all over the place, but, of course, it is better to know specific points and use groundbait. If someone does not know where to catch crucian carp in winter in the Moscow region, then he has a direct road to the Istra reservoir, in which there is a lot of goldfish and with certain skills it will not be difficult to catch it with an ordinary fishing rod with a jig. They get to the reservoir by personal transport or by train from the Rizhsky railway station, and then by regular bus.

Ozerninskoe reservoir

In this reservoir, fish is caught all winter, but it is here that fishermen flock to during the dry winter. The rivers Tabolovka and Veyna flow into the reservoir, therefore fish are always active in the water area with a constant inflow of fresh water. If the thickness of the ice permits, you can go into the Vejna River itself, where the concentration of perch and pike is higher. Also popular are the bays located near the bridge near the village of Volkovo. Beginners can be advised to go fishing in the Buninsky Bay near the village of Khotebtsevo, where there are a lot of small roach and bastard. Although the fish is not large, it bites regularly and you can, as they say, “fill your hand”. By car they drive along Novorizhskoe highway to Ruza, then through the village of Briket to Remyannitsy.

Pirogov reservoir

Not the most popular place for anglers, especially in summer. The shores are built up, the beaches are strewn with vacationers, there is no squeezing through the water between jet skis. But in winter one breathes more freely. There are deep places in the reservoir – next to the dam and pumping station, as well as near the village of Sorokino. Promising points for catching bream and pike perch. In addition to them, roach and perch are caught in the reservoir. The most popular places are located in the area of ​​the village of Povedniki and the village of Chiverevo. Every year the reservoir is stocked with fish. Despite the rather long journey – by train to Mytishchi, and then by bus, transport in winter is packed with fishermen.

Rivers where fishermen can try their luck in winter in the Moscow region

Moscow river

It seems to uninformed people that there are no fish left in this river for a long time, but this is not so. Above Serebryany Bor, the waterway is considered fairly clean. The most famous places are Mikheevo, Chulkovo, Bronnitsy. The last settlement even hosts winter spinning tournaments from the shore, in areas where there is no ice. Although not all participants manage to get away from zero, experienced athletes bring good pikes, perches, pike perch, bersh and even asp to the finish line. They fish exclusively with jig rigs. White fish in the Moscow River can also be caught quite successfully.

Important! The Moskva River is not covered with ice every winter, so ice fishers rarely visit it. In those areas where ice is still standing, you should behave with extreme caution.

Oka

The Moskva River flows into this waterway after Kolomna. There are many fish in the Oka. In winter they come here mainly for bream and pike perch. The riverbed is replete with various hillocks, holes and other irregularities and this creates favorable conditions for the habitation of these two species of fish.

Interesting fact! Many anglers know that schools of bream often accompany shoals of zander, although bream is not included in the diet of the fanged predator. According to one of the versions, they stick together, because the bream, digging in the bottom sediments, stirs up the silt together with small invertebrates, which are eager for small fish – roach and ruff, which the pikeperch eats.

They get to the Oka by private car or from Serpukhov to Tsaritsyno, then by regular bus or minibus.

Lopasnya

The river is under noticeable fishing pressure, but there is still enough fish for everyone. The most popular are the surroundings of the village of Kryukovo – there are a lot of pike, which bites not only on live bait, but also on artificial baits.
You need to go from Tsaritsyno to Chekhov station and then by regular bus to Kryukovo or by personal transport.

Lakes

Most of all winter fishermen are attracted by the lakes under Shatura: Svyatoe, Beloe, Muromskoe and Chernoe. White fish, perch and pike are caught. It is better to catch the latter on girders, and perch on spoons and balancers. By car, you should go along the Yegoryevskoe highway, and then turn to Shatura.
