Lakes

According to Russian laws, citizens can independently create artificial reservoirs on private territory. Plus, the industry is developing and needs large volumes of moisture. Because of this, fish farms, small lamps, and ponds appear. In the Rostov region, among such popular fishing spots, the following stand out:

1. Thawed lake. Located within an hour's drive. Nearby is a small town called Novoshakhtinsk. Fishermen manage to catch: tench, pike, roach, perch, crucian carp.

2. Salty. The maximum level of biting is found near Bataysk. There are: cupids, sterlet, pike, burbot, crucian carp.

3. Aquarius. The pond was created artificially. It is inhabited by perches and crucian carp. Can be found near the blue lake.

Read: Fishing in Primorye

Fishing occurs with all known subtypes of fishing rods and tackle. Difficulties arise when you want to get a silver carp. In some places there are a lot of small carp on the surface of the water. Which will begin to eat the bait and swallow the spoon. Not to mention the bait eaten. This occurs only in certain reservoirs, both at shallow depths and in the middle. The second option is still more promising. Especially if you have an inflatable boat. Of course, the lack of access fees brings a lot of people into fishing. It is worth remembering this and taking care of the place in advance.
