Ichthyologist - paid fishing in the Moscow region

The farm "Ichthyologist" is located in the Lotoshinsky district, 25 km from the city of Volokolamsk. We left Moscow at 8 am in order to get to the region before traffic jams. And we almost succeeded. We got there along the Novorizhskoe highway. But we still got stuck in a traffic jam outside of Moscow. The track has been being repaired for several years and is not being repaired at all. We arrived at the base around 11 am. Without traffic jams it would take about an hour and a half to two hours.

Administration of the club "Ichthyologist"

Upon entry, you need to get a so-called voucher in this building, the price of which includes a certain catch. At the reception you need to decide what kind of fish you plan to catch. If there is crucian carp, perch, or pike, then you will be directed to the main pond. If you want to catch trout or carp, then go to another pond. There are a total of 3 main ponds at this base with different fish.

We wanted to catch a pike; it is found in the main pond. Having issued a ticket, they explained to us where we could fish. If you haven’t booked a bungalow, you can fish anywhere on the left bank. You can drive directly to the fishing spot by car. Entry and parking are included in the price of the tour. By the way, in the main building you can also buy everything you need for fishing. We had everything of our own, except the bait.

Bungalow for fishing

Another photo of a bungalow on the right bank of the main reservoir

The main pond turned out to be quite large. On the official website of the Ichthyologist, from the photo it seemed smaller. It’s good that you can get there by car, otherwise walking from the parking lot with everything you need for fishing and a picnic would be problematic. We didn’t book a bungalow, so we got to the opposite bank and settled on the grass.

Katya is the hungriest

I was surprised that despite the fact that this is paid fishing and it’s quite a long way to get here, there were a lot of fishing enthusiasts gathered at the pond. All these "bungalows" were booked. Fishermen were also scattered along the shore, some in groups, some alone, some with their wives, children and dogs. While we were fishing, people continued to arrive. Apparently, this base is quite popular among the nearest large cities and towns - Volokolamsk, Lotoshino, Yaropolets.

Restaurant "OstrovOk"

On the shore of the Big Pond there is a restaurant "OstrovOk" . In summer you can relax here on the summer shady veranda, which is located on the water. It offers a beautiful view of the forest. And on winter evenings you can warm up in the hall near the fireplace.

All dishes on the restaurant menu are created by a local chef. Everyone will be able to try delicious dishes prepared from local fish.

Accommodation

You can stay here for one night or rent a house for several days without leaving the base. Right on the spot you will be offered two houses to choose from: African and Trout. Both houses with all amenities. Designed for six people. Cost of living – from 6,000 to 12,000 rubles. per day , depending on the day of the week and the number of people.

On the territory of the base, here and there, you come across various decorative sculptures and animal figurines. Here and there there are stone tables and chairs, just like in medieval castles.

Once at the Turbaza, you will immediately understand that it is in great demand. People come here to fish from all over the area: from Volokolamsk, Lotoshino, Yaropolets. This is not surprising, because unlike free fishing, paid fishing will delight you with a clean, well-groomed area with all amenities and stocked reservoirs.

There are barbecues and picnic areas throughout.

Territory and ponds of the Ichthyologist base

I have already written earlier about all the delights of fishing on the Oka, when there are mountains of garbage around. Unlike free fishing, paid fishing pleases with clean, well-groomed territory, clean reservoirs, and there are convenient barbecues and picnic areas. Even if you are not a fan of fishing, you will get aesthetic pleasure from relaxing on the shore of the lake. Soft grass, fresh air, nature, silence.

Equipped picnic areas

The caught fish can be immediately fried on the grills equipped along the perimeter of the lake. Or bring kebabs with you and have a picnic while you catch fish. Also in some places there are stone tables and chairs, like from a medieval castle.

Decorative figures and sculptures

Throughout the base you can see all sorts of different decorative figures and sculptures. Just look at the African cluster, where, according to the director, the animal figures are made in life-size with the help of experts so that they look realistic.

Playground

We noticed that many people come here with families with children. If your kids are tired of boring fishing, you can ride them on a horse, on cars, or send them to frolic in a children's playground. Horseback riding is paid, but there is no need to pay separately for entrance to the children's playground, except when some clowns or animators are performing there.

Restaurant "Ostrov Ok"

On the main pond of the base there is also a restaurant with the simple name “Island” with a summer terrace and an excellent view of the lake and forest. We can’t give you an idea of the prices, we didn’t stop by. Finding this cafe is not difficult; it is located near the playground and can be seen from anywhere on the main lake.

Accommodation

You can stay overnight or rent a house for a few days right at the base. The cottages are modern and comfortable. The cost of living is from 6 to 12 thousand rubles per day, depending on the day of the week and the number of people. A group of up to 6 people is allowed.

There is also a small beach at the base in summer. For those who paid for fishing, swimming is free. And in winter, ice fishing is organized.

Rules of the camp site "Ichthyologist"

If you get to the fishing spot by car , then you will need to go through an inspection when leaving.

Accompanying persons , namely children under 12 years of age and women, can be on reservoirs without vouchers. Each fisherman can only have two accompanying persons! For others, you need to buy a guest pass. This also applies to men who are not going to take part in fishing.

Each fisherman can use no more than three tackles.

The fisherman is obliged to provide his catch during the intermediate weighing of the fish.

Trophy copies are paid separately.

It is forbidden to release caught fish! Those who violate this rule will be denied access to the base in the future.
