Near the city of Alexandrov, on the slopes of the Klinsko-Dmitrovsky ridge. Takes the original direction to the west. In the Moscow region, near the village of Filisovo, it turns to the north.

Further, after connecting with Sulati, it rushes in a southwestern direction. Six kilometers later, above the village of Verbilok, it abruptly changes its course to the northwest. It is navigable from the village of Berezhok to the lower reaches for more than 15 km. It flows into the Volga, from the eastern side of the city, more than 8 km below the Ivankovskaya dam. Left tributaries: Kunya, Velya, Sestra, Kubzha. Right tributaries: Hotcha, Sulat.

The Dubna River has:

• width: 40–70 m;
• depth: 2–4 m;

Features of fishing in Dubna by fishing season

1. The spring months are the best for fishing because at this time all the fish from the Volga River go to spawn. And then you can, without much difficulty, catch: chub, asp, ide, dace, perch, pike and even catfish. From the end of May, ide and chub are especially active.
2. In the summer , the fish bite well: dace, burbot, perch, pike, asp. From the beginning of May to August inclusive, more successful fishing will be at night or at dawn. When hot days come, the fish becomes passive, so they bite reluctantly during the day.
3. In the fall , all types of fish begin to eat, they prepare for a cold and hungry difficult time - winter. Good catch: ide, catfish, pike perch, roach, asp, pike, crucian carp.
4. In the winter season , in severe frosts, there is almost no bite. Ideal winter weather is a frosty morning, but without wind or snow. If the temperature rises or drops sharply, you should avoid going fishing.

With the arrival of the first snow, silver bream begins to be caught very well. In the cold season, you can hunt for pike, silver bream, crucian carp, bream, and asp.

When the river is covered with ice, for successful fishing, use only those fishing rods that are intended for winter fishing, and no more than 1 m in length. And it will be more productive to fish at maximum depth.

Dubna (city)

Situated on the Volga with natural boundaries in the form of the Dubna and Sestra rivers, this old fortress was of great strategic importance in the 12th century. The city of Dubna, in which it was built, was once part of the Rostov-Suzdal principality, which at that time belonged to the son of Prince Yaroslav the Wise of Kyiv - Vsevolod of Pereyaslavl.

From the middle of the 13th century, the fortress moved from Tver to Moscow and back, until it acquired the status of oprichnina lands under Ivan the Terrible.

Dubna acquired its title of a city in modern history in the late 50s of the 20th century. The urban-type settlement of Ivankovo ​​was annexed to it. A strategic center for nuclear research appeared here, based on the Joint Institute of Nuclear Physics.

Best places for fishing

1. The best place is the mouth of Dubna , at this point the river connects with the Volga. And very close, near the city of Dubna, there is the Uglich Reservoir. Therefore, in this place the water flow is slower and the river is much wider.
2. Another good place is not far from the railway bridge . If you look a little above the bridge and along the river, you can see large riffles. When you go down, a little more than a kilometer, you can see smaller streams of rapids. This is where you need to stop!
3. The reaches are located in Yudino-Starikovo , downstream, and pike are excellently caught here.
4. There is a road bridge across Dubna. If you walk a little upstream from the bridge (about 2 km), you will come across a bend where you can get a good deal of pike, chub, and perch.
5. A promising location is near Verbilki station.

Tributaries of the Dubna

The banks of the river constantly change their distance due to the presence of tributaries flowing into it. Every time one of them flows into Dubna, it becomes deeper and wider.

Sometimes indicators may change over a distance of several kilometers. For example, at the intersection with the Yaroslavl highway, the width is only 10 m, and when the Sulat River flows into it, the distance between the banks increases to 20 m, so that after some distance, near the village of Verbilki, they diverge by 30-40 m.

What gear is best to use?

It is better to use ultralight spinning rods :

• dough 1-7 g;
• dough 7-20 gr.

For bait take:

• rotating spoons, with sizes No. 0-2;
• sinking wobblers;
• small vibrations.

Jig fishing has also proven itself well. With a combined silicone bait and a rotating petal for insects. Particularly effective for ide and chub.

A paired spinning rod, otherwise called a baler, is a tackle for catching fish that feed directly at the water surface.

Local fishermen use the following gear to catch chub:

• bale;
• boat

But it can get into it: ide, perch.

Fly fishing also has its admirers. And far from unsuccessful. They also hunt dace, roach and silver bream. Where the water flow is most intense, it is better to fish with bottom gear and spinning rods.

In winter they hunt:

• heavy jigs;
• zherlitsa.

You should only fish bait Fish must not only be attracted to the fishing zone, but also retained. It is better to feed with store-bought sports bait. But you can make a good one at home.

Float rod

Some floaters close the season with the first autumn cold snap. It is believed that the fish become less active and go deeper. But more experienced fishermen prove the opposite.

In October and November, fishing is more reasonable and the catch is larger. To catch bream or crucian carp on a fishing rod, the place is first baited. For bait they take: worms, maggots, bloodworms.

Roaches readily eat boiled pearl barley and worms. The bream is not large, but it takes it steadily. It's better to choose a place:

• in the so-called coastal edge;
• on sand spits;
• near the dam.

Spinning

To get a faster result, in search of fish you need to comb using trolling, a GPS navigator, deep edges with an echo sounder. You can also use slow trolling in shallow water:

• paths with an abundance of silver fish on leashes;
• at the end there is a large popper.

Pike prefer spinners; they are probably more tasty for them. Especially the Finnish “Blue Fox Super Vibrax” No. 3,4.

When hunting for spinner, retrieve speed will be of paramount importance. The movements of the spinning spoon are so measured and slow that with a weak bite sometimes the blade of the spoon breaks and spins.

In shallow sandy bays, perch, silver bream and pike can actually be provoked to attack if the lure periodically touches the bottom. A rising cloud of turbidity will provoke large and predatory fish to bite. Small fish create the same cloud when feeding.

In shallow water - wobblers, less than a meter deep and spinners No. 0.1, you can profit from pike and perch.

In the current, when moving the turntable in a measured manner, you need to periodically make sudden movements every 5-6 turns. The amplitude is no more (20-30 cm). This will force the spinner to play. Wiring during currents can be made even slower. Because the spoon spins, even if it stands still.

If you can’t tempt the fish into a monotonous retrieve, then you need to try to make repeated accelerations, by 4-6 turns of the reel. You can move the spinning rod a little from side to side. Create an approximate trajectory for the bait.

It is good to fish with spinning rods in summer and early autumn.

Feeder

The feeder is essentially an English donka, a universal tackle. A feeder is a rod with interchangeable tips. If it bends when biting, then you need to hook. They choose their tips for a certain type of fish; they differ in hardness.

The feeder consists of 3 parts:

• butt;
• basic;
• signal

For different fishing conditions, you need to select rods with different action and test accordingly. The feeder has a feeder, it can be of various shapes and sizes. The feeder must be equipped with a reel and braided fishing line.

If you fish near a dam at depth, then you need:

• closed feeder;
• powerful feeder, up to 180 g;
• build 4 hardness.

When the current is small and the depth is shallow, a reel with a baitrunner is suitable.

Before fishing, you need to determine the depth and select the appropriate distance. And find a more or less level bottom. When you find the fishing point, start feeding. Give a couple of feeders with bait, and then lower the main one to catch!

Donka

The bottom fishing rod is good, especially when catching: perch, chub, dace. Rod of choice:

• shortened but powerful;
• no more than 2 m long;
• with inertial coil;
• fishing line from 0.16-0.2 mm;
• flat sinker;
• single hook.

If you use live bait for bait, then the equipment should have two hooks. Because the chub will attack the bait from its tail. The hook must be energetic and short.

Best lures

Best lures:

• Spoons No. 1 or No. 2.
• Wobblers, only preferably in bright colors. Based on characteristics, choose only sinking ones. Particularly suitable for predatory fish, especially pike.
• Dough.
• Worms.
• Maggots.
• Bloodworms.
• Insects.

Good fishing for insects: carp, ide, dace, perch. Especially in spring and early summer. It is good to catch small fish using chicken liver. There are even trophy specimens.

It is better to combine baits.

When using silicone baits, you need to take care of the desired aroma in advance. It must be strong enough to attract aquatic life from afar.

Winter fishing on Dubna

Winter weather is a fundamental success factor. If it doesn’t exist, then even the coolest place won’t help. Lack of weather is:

• unstable frost, which may be replaced by a thaw;
• pressure surges;
• short-term snowfalls.

Winter fishing is a completely different philosophy. Fishing is more difficult in winter than in summer, so anglers must be patient. You can get a good catch if you go hunting on the first or last ice. Bait in winter - maggots and small bloodworms.

River Riffle

River riffles are the best place for winter fishing, because small fish come out to feed there. She eats food carried away by water flows. And predatory fish species at this time hunt for peaceful fish.

On the rifts, the fish gather in certain places, and come out to feed only at a known time. The structure of the riffle is typical, it has:

• pressure slope;
• saddle;
• crest;
• basement

That is why the conditions cannot be accurately described. There are only general principles: if you drill holes downstream, you can reach any point. Monitor the speed of water flow and changes in depth. And then you can understand whether this place is promising or not.

A promising place for ide and carp is the mow behind the ridge. Dace and silver bream are caught on the slope of the ridge, with a faster current. Downstream, on the saddle, there are perches.

When ice fishing, a good place on the lower part of the river is the mouth. During the freeze-up period, you can catch perch, roach, silver bream, and bream.

Reviews from anglers

Mikhail, 35 years old: “This summer I was able to fish on this river for the first time. I took a sharp turn, not far from Verbilki. I caught a huge crucian carp on the feeder. The current was quite strong, and it was mainly bream and small roach that were clinging. Having caught a crucian carp, I was, of course, surprised, I guess I was lucky!”

Vladimir, 28 years old: “After waiting for the weekend, I went to the river myself, near the village of Sushchevo. I sat at the bridge for an hour and a half and didn’t see a single bite. I walked a little further, about 400 meters from the bridge. I cast my fishing rod and wait. The bite came almost immediately. And I caught a bream using an ordinary worm. I enjoyed nature for more than two hours. But there was no more bite. Then small perches began to appear, I immediately released them. And with a calm soul he went home. I am for a healthy lifestyle!"

Vasily , 46 years old: “With skillful dexterity and a well-chosen place, you will definitely not be left without a catch!”
