general information

In the Novosibirsk region there are more than 400 rivers, the length of which exceeds 10 kilometers. If we add to them 3 and a half thousand lakes and a huge reservoir on the Ob River with an area of ​​1070 square meters. km, it becomes clear that the region is really fishing. There is enough space for everyone, float fishing lovers, spinning anglers, and supporters of the English donkey. But poachers are not welcome here, so there is a lot of fish in all reservoirs, even the smallest ones.

What can you catch? The ichthyofauna is diverse. Some lucky people manage to catch sturgeon or sterlet, but this happens extremely rarely. In the upper Ob and Novosibirsk reservoirs, white salmon are found; in the fall, muksun come to spawn. Lenok lives in some tributaries of this reservoir, but its numbers are critically small. These species are endangered in the region. But there are plenty of crucian carp, especially in snagged lakes.

On large rivers and paid reservoirs you can successfully catch medium-sized carp, and for trophies you should go to the reservoir. Here a specimen weighing up to 10 kg can bite, so you need to take the appropriate gear. For many anglers, the number one target is the local bream - a beauty of the river, sparkling in the sun with silvery sides. Most often it is caught using a feeder or float rod with long casting.

There are no problems with predators either. Pike are effectively caught on a spinning rod using a variety of baits, from the good old spoon to an expensive wobbler with a noise chamber, realistic eyes and non-standard body geometry.

The toothy one also takes well with live bait. Fishing for catfish will give you a decent dose of adrenaline. It is not found in small reservoirs, but on the Ob or Irtysh rivers, as well as their large tributaries, there is every chance of catching a mustachioed giant.

It is better to go for pike perch or asp by boat, since these predators are afraid to come close to the shore and stay mainly in deep areas. There is plenty of perch in both rivers and lakes. It is advisable to hunt it with ultralight tackle, which allows you to feel all the delights of fighting a striped robber while fishing.

It is worth mentioning several more species common in this area. Some of them are not of particular gastronomic value, since they do not grow to large sizes, but they are quite suitable for sport fishing. These are gudgeon, spined lance, ruff and sleeper. The latter appeared several years ago and has firmly established itself in this territory. It is believed that it causes irreparable harm to other inhabitants of rivers and lakes by eating their eggs and fry. In addition, almost everywhere where there is a current, you can catch roach and silver bream. In some rivers you can find the Siberian sculpin - a living indicator of clean water, listed in the Red Book of the region.

Review of reservoirs

Mainly only rotan bites under the shore.

You can catch perch and pike with a spinning rod; you can catch trophy tench with a float.

• Berdsky Bay is a bay of the Berd River, formed together with the Novosibirsk reservoir after the construction of a hydroelectric power station. The comfortable, gently sloping banks of this artificial reservoir beckon fishermen. The maximum depth is 18 meters, but you won’t be able to reach it from the shore. To catch large bream or ide that live in these waters, you will have to use a watercraft.
• Yarkul is a picturesque lake located 30 kilometers from the city of Kupino. Pheasants calmly roam on its banks, and swans gracefully glide along the water surface.

• 
  The Chulym River is a right tributary of the Ob, flowing through several districts of the Novosibirsk region. The most popular among the fishing fraternity are areas with steep banks, where you can catch catfish, trophy pike, carp, bream, ide and other large fish.

• The Berd River is a waterway with gentle banks. Since promising depths are far from the coastline, it is better to fish here in summer with long-range gear or from a boat. In winter there are no problems, all fishing spots are accessible. They mainly catch bream and roach; spinners hunt perch and pike. In the cold season, burbot takes well.
• The Kargat River is a tributary of the Chulym, famous for crucian carp fishing.
