Fishing in reservoirs

There are quite a few artificially created reservoirs on the territory of Kazakhstan; reservoirs are often vital for those cities that are located on their banks. Not only do enterprises take water from them, but reservoirs often serve as excellent places for recreation for local residents and guests of the region.

Samarkand

This reservoir has recently become very popular and not only among local residents. Most recently, the World Championship for fishing with a jig from ice was held on its shores. It took place in March 2021 and was quite successful. Many guests returned to Temirtau on open water to fully experience all the delights of fishing on the reservoir.

In the summer, both peaceful fish and predators are fished here. At the same time, the bite will be good both from the coastline and from watercraft.

There are many recreation centers on the shore of the reservoir where you can stay for several days or weeks with your family or friends. You can fish here only by paying a certain amount; it is usually offered to purchase a voucher, and its price will vary according to several factors.

Sherubaynurinskoe

Getting to this reservoir for fishing is not at all difficult; there are signs in Astana and almost throughout the central part of Kazakhstan. Fishing here is paid, but the catch is always good.

You can fish in different ways; just an hour’s drive from Karaganda you can unwind with any fishing rod in your hands. On the territory of the reservoir you can see:

• spinners on the coastline and on boats;
• a walk along the shore in open water promises more than one meeting with feeder fishing enthusiasts;
• In spring, fly fishermen are frequent visitors here;
• There are fewer floats on the reservoir, but this method of fishing is still found here.

There are fishing houses and cottage houses on the shore; here you can accommodate both a noisy group and find privacy. For an additional fee, you can rent fishing equipment to fish in the reservoir.

Kengirskoe

This reservoir boasts paid fishing, but the catch may not always live up to expectations. The cost of the pleasure is standard, the ticket must be purchased in advance, fish inspectors check regularly. Fishing here is carried out with different gear, mainly using a feeder and a float. Fishing for different fish:

• crucian carp;
• bream;
• gusterka;
• undergrowth.

A carp caught on a hook is considered a real trophy. In Zhezkazgan, located near the reservoir, you can purchase a ticket, find out in more detail who and when to catch, and also stock up on everything you need for successful fishing.

Zhezdinskoe

The reservoir is quite spacious; here you can catch different types of fish, both peaceful and predatory. To do this, you need to pre-pay for the ticket, and only then go to your favorite activity.

As in most reservoirs of this type, lovers of almost all types of fishing will find something to do here:

• They fish for pike, perch, and pike perch using spinning rods;
• feeders and hooks will lure bream, crucian carp and, occasionally, carp to the hooks;
• fly fishing enthusiasts can find asps in the spring;
• floaters will also have something to do; crucian carp, raft, and ruffs bite excellently.

An important point will be the use of complementary foods when fishing with a feeder; in the warm season, you should choose sweet options; cold water will require the use of meat and fish flavors.

On the shore you can camp in tents as savages, or you can book a house in advance and live in it with your family.

But besides reservoirs, there are many other equally interesting reservoirs in the region, where fishing will bring pleasure.

Features of summer fishing

Biting activity directly depends on a large number of different factors, the main one of which is the change of season. In the Karaganda region, the first signs of recovery appear with the arrival of warmer weather. After the spring increase in water temperature, closer to summer, the fish gradually disperse throughout the entire area of ​​the reservoir, and finding them is not as problematic as in winter.

The most effective summer tackle for predatory fish is a spinning rod, and a popular bait is silicone fish. If the size of such a fish does not exceed 5 cm, then the main catch with such tackle will be perch. A larger silicone bait is more likely to entice larger walleyes. In the summer, the fanged one hunts separately; it can stand on the edge or be in the bottom space.

In choosing an object to attack, he is not particularly picky. His favorite bait colors are light green and white. A characteristic feature of the pike perch attack is the pressing of the attacked silicone to the bottom before swallowing, so very often it is caught by the lower jaw.

The hook must be strong and sharp to penetrate his hard palate. The wiring can be stepped or uniform, the weight of the jig head is selected depending on the speed of the current in the reservoir. Very often, pike perch can be caught by trolling. With this method of fishing, in addition to silicone, a deep-sea wobbler can serve as bait.

It is worth noting the most popular models:

• Tsuribito Deep Crank
• Bomber Model A B07A
• Squad Minnow 80

The latter is also intended for pike fishing.
This kind of fishing is more effective, as it allows you to fish a larger area of ​​the reservoir. The best bait for pike is a variety of spinners, rotating or oscillating. The most catchy baits are considered to be from the following manufacturers:

• Abu Garcia
• Blue Fox
• Mepps
• Daiva

Large pike hunt in the water column, and you can catch them using medium-buoyant wobblers, or their sinking versions. Small pike, grass fish, prefer grassy shallows and reaches. In such cases, it is better to use various types of non-hooking and offset hooks.

Large catfish stay in deep-sea holes and respond well to sinking wobblers carried out by trolling. In Kazakhstan, the method of catching catfish with bare hands is also popular: the fisherman examines the giant’s sites at the bottom, during which the fish grabs his hand, all that remains is to pull him to the surface with the help of his other hand.

The most popular summer tackle for peaceful fish is a bottom rod. This can be either a feeder rig or a hair rig for large representatives of the carp family. In summer, carp lives in coastal waters, where sometimes the depth does not exceed 0.5 meters.

During the warm period, he prefers baits of plant origin: corn, peas, cake. It also reacts well to the presence of various kinds of attractants and artificial odors in the bait. It is necessary to experiment with the selection of the desired smell in a reservoir; this can radically affect the overall fishing performance. The rest of the white fish also actively feed throughout the entire area of ​​the reservoir.

Standard bait can be a traditional worm or maggot. Corn, semolina and even ordinary bread can perform well. It is advisable to feed the fishing area in advance; the linen gathered in such an area more often accepts the proposed bait. It is better to cast bottom gear into the contact zone of the coastal strip of algae and deep dumps.

Rivers

In Kazakhstan, namely in the Karaganda region, more than 100 large rivers and small rivulets flow. They also have residents who are periodically fished. There are many interesting water streams; the following rivers are recognized as the most favorite among local fishing enthusiasts and visiting fishermen:

• Nura;
• Sarysu;
• Kulanotpes;
• Tuyndyk;
• Zharly;
• Taldy.

Each of them has quite rich water resources; there are plenty of representatives of ichthyofauna in them. Most often, small-sized pike and bass are fished here; pike perch is extremely rare. Burbot cannot be found in the region; it is found extremely rarely and only in the northern part of the country.

On the banks of the above rivers you can meet spinning anglers, float fishing enthusiasts, and fly fishers. Feeder fishing on rivers is not particularly developed, but there are still those willing to do it.

Lakes

When making a fish bite forecast in Karaganda, you should not forget about lakes, both natural and artificial. Any local fisherman will tell you that there are quite a few lakes in the region, a little more than 80 came from nature, the remaining 400 were built by people themselves. In most cases, artificial reservoirs are leased; they are regularly stocked with fingerlings of various species of fish, and then a certain fee is charged for the catch accordingly.

It’s also unlikely that you’ll be able to fish for free on natural lakes, but the catches here will be more serious.

The most popular among the local population and visiting fishing tourists are:

• Balkhash;
• Kypshak;
• Kiyakty;
• Shoshkakol.

On the shores of each of these reservoirs there are a large number of recreation centers and fishing cottages. Fishermen and their families often come here on vacation; their favorite pastime is often combined with outdoor recreation with family and friends.

It is necessary to buy a ticket; its cost is usually not included in the rental of a house or tent site. Children will find their own entertainment, catamaran rides, a hike in the forest, and just a walk along the shore of the lake will remain in the child’s memory for a long time.

Fishing Features

The Karaganda fisherman's calendar lasts no more than five days; during this period the weather may change, pressure surges will negatively affect the bite of aquatic inhabitants. Each season makes its own adjustments to fishing; open warm water will become an ally in the search for fish, but ice cover, especially in the dead of winter, will not always please you with catches.

Summer fishing

Revival in ponds and other bodies of water begins in the Karaganda region with an increase in air and water temperatures. Melting ice allows fish to feed more actively, and many species experience pre-spawning feeding. It is during this period that a large number of fishermen can be seen on rivers, lakes and reservoirs.

Before going to the reservoir, you should take the time to check the timing of the spawning ban on fishing. Penalties will not please anyone.

During this period, pike and perch are excellent for spinning, the main thing is to choose the right bait. The most effective, according to fishermen, are:

• small turntables;
• silicone baits with taste and smell;
• small wobblers.

The equipment is made light, but the leash is made more powerful. Pike perch can also be fished with this type of gear.

Fly fishing attracts the attention of asp, which can be found in almost any body of water in the region. This aquatic resident will respond well to artificial flies, dragonflies, and bugs.

The reel will be an important element of the equipment; its power indicators should be high.

As the temperature rises, most of the fish go into the water column; they can only be lured out of there in the early morning or after dawn. On warm summer evenings, catfish fishermen are often found on the shores of many reservoirs. They will come to their places until the fall in the hope of catching a large specimen, and most of them succeed well. The bait most often used is live bait caught in the same reservoir, pieces of liver, and rotten meat.

At the end of spring and from the second half of summer, many will be able to boast of trophy carp or carp; they are best caught during this period. To be sure to catch your catch you need to know these tricks:

• choose the right bait;
• use different types of bait, both plant and animal;
• fish already known places.

First you need to feed the carp or grass carp for several days, after 2-3 days they will, by inertia, come to the feeding site and, without suspecting anything, swallow the hook with the bait. There is no point in casting the tackle far during this period; all representatives of this type of fish go to the shallows.

On the paid sites you can enjoy fishing for trout or sturgeon; many farms are engaged in growing sterlet, and catching it is very interesting.

Winter fishing

In winter, there are fewer grass snakes on reservoirs than in summer, but they still exist. I would especially like to note fishing on the first ice, in Karaganda, as in other cities at these latitudes, during this period the fish bite best.

The predator is caught on ice on girders and stands; live bait and small fish from the same reservoir are used as bait.

Roach, crucian carp, and small perches are lured with a jig. Pike and perch will respond well to a vertical lure on a rod; pike perch can also be caught.

The lack of food in reservoirs forces fish in winter to sometimes react to baits that are not typical for them; carp, grass carp, and carp are often fished for using spoons. A baitless jig would also be an excellent option; bloodworms on a hook are offered as a last resort.

Winter fishing in the Karaganda region

Fishing in winter has its own characteristics, since fish activity decreases significantly. In this regard, it is much more difficult to find fish than in summer, but this does not mean that there is no fishing here in winter. Lovers of winter fishing are everywhere and Kazakhstan is no exception.

Many fishermen put their summer fishing rod aside and arm themselves with winter fishing rods. As a rule, in winter the predator is caught vertically, and heavy spoons and balancers are used as bait.

The most catchy balancers:

• Aqua.
• Rapala.
• Karismax.

The most active is perch, followed by pike perch and very rarely pike. Pike perch prefers to stay in deep places with varying depths, as well as places where trees are flooded. For effective fishing, it is advisable to study the topography of the bottom of the reservoir in the summer, then in winter it will be much easier to find a school of fish.

Pike perch is caught both on balancers and rattlins, which are more popular in the West. Fishing for girders using live bait is considered no less catchy. Small perch or roach are suitable as live bait.

Fishing for peaceful fish is carried out using a variety of baited and non-attached jigs. A worm, maggot or bloodworm is used as a bait. The most active species are bream, white bream and roach. Despite the fact that carp are mostly passive in winter, sometimes they get hooked. Apparently the lack of food resources for fish in winter has an effect.

How to catch more fish

In order for the fishing to be successful and the catch to please both the fisherman and his loved ones, it is necessary to first find out the following nuances:

• find out the weather conditions for the next few days;
• the phase of the moon is also important for this; experienced fishermen monitor this strictly;
• collect quality gear;
• choose the right and effective baits;
• establish the most successful place for fishing.

Then everything remains in the hands of fate; hope for luck has never let anyone down.

Fishing in the Karaganda region is quite varied, but before going to the reservoir, it is worth learning in more detail all the intricacies of fishing in order to avoid unpleasant situations.
