The Tomsk region is famous for its large number of rivers and lakes with an abundance of freshwater inhabitants. Fishermen from all over Russia come here in search of a good catch. In addition, the local nature attracts with its picturesque landscapes and clean air. Read about what fishing is like in the Tomsk region in our article. Also here you will find a brief overview of cool places that are loved not only by visiting tourists, but also by local residents.
Diversity of freshwater inhabitants
The rivers and lakes of the Tomsk region have always had huge reserves of fish resources. Most of the representatives of freshwater species that we are used to seeing in central Russia, and some species from Siberia, live here. Judging by the reviews of local fishermen, very rare fish are often found here, which is not possible to get in other regions of Russia. The list of varieties can be very long, so here are just the main types of fish that make up the catch:
- crucian carp;
- roach;
- carp;
- bream;
- zander;
- perch;
- pike;
- catfish;
- grayling;
- ide;
- dace;
- minnow
Grayling is the least likely to please fishermen with its presence, so if you get hooked on this fish, consider yourself very lucky. Even targeted catching of this species does not always bring the desired result.
Fishing spots
The list of rivers and lakes for fishing in the Tomsk region is very extensive, so you will not have problems finding a vacation spot. For example, Lake Poros is considered a pretty good option. It will delight fishermen not only with picturesque landscapes, but also with a good catch. The reservoir has only one drawback - too much vegetation at the bottom. However, this is fully compensated by convenient access and a good asphalt road.
Another quite popular place for fishing in the Tomsk region is the Burunduk channel, which flows from the Ob, respectively, and fish can be caught here from the same river. This place is considered a real paradise for spinning enthusiasts. Here you can catch fairly large specimens of pike perch, perch, as well as medium-sized pike. True, you will have to find a place to successfully cast the tackle, since the abundance of vegetation on the shore does not always allow this.
The best places to catch crucian carp
The channel of the Sukhoi River is considered the most successful place if you want to catch large crucian carp. Professional fishermen recommend going here in the spring. However, there is plenty to do here in summer too. Mostly large fish are caught, although the bite of medium-sized individuals is not excluded. As a “tool” for fishing, it is best to give preference to a feeder rig or a Bolognese rod. You can bait a hook with almost anything, but crucian carp, as you know, bite best on a worm, corn and maggot. To attract the attention of large individuals and large fish, it is recommended to use bait in the form of bread crumb or dust.
Where can I find dace?
Have you decided to go fishing in the Tomsk region for dace? One of the most successful places for this will be the fairly small river Kirgizka, flowing through the northern part of Tomsk. This reservoir pleases not only local residents, but also visiting fishermen. The catch usually consists of dace and small pike. If you plan to catch larger specimens, it is recommended to choose a place to cast your fishing rod closer to the mouth of the river, since it is in still and deep water that large fish prefer to settle. For bait, it is best to use fry or any imitation bait, and for tackle, a spinning rod or a regular float rod with thick fishing line is best.
Map of fishing spots
Fishermen are often delighted by the small lake Poros. But this reservoir has one drawback - there is abundant vegetation in two reservoirs. But it is very easy to get to it, since the road is paved almost right down to the lake.
The Burunduk channel flows out of the Ob River, where a huge amount of fish floats from this rich reservoir. This channel is considered a real paradise for spinning fishing lovers. Here you can catch not only large pike, but also medium-sized pike perch and perch. But to catch pike perch you will have to spend a lot of time searching.
The Sukhaya Channel is considered one of the best places for fishing for crucian carp. It is best to go there in spring. Very often you can catch large fish here, but medium-sized crucian carp are also caught quite often. It is best to take a Bolognese rod or feeder rod with you to ensure maximum catch.
In the northern part of Tomsk there is a small river, the Kirgizka, which attracts fishermen from all over the city. Mostly on the river you can catch dace. But if you are planning to catch pike, then you can go there, but you need to try to choose a place closer to the mouth of the river itself.
Lake Curdo
Have you decided to go fishing in Molchanovo, Tomsk region? Lake Curdo is considered one of the best reservoirs for such fishing in this region.

- burbot;
- zander;
- pike;
- chebak;
- crucian carp;

Some fishermen mention in their fishing reports that they managed to catch large specimens whose weight reached 10 kilograms. It is also worth noting that the lake has a fairly flat coastline, which has a positive effect on the number of fishing spots.
Recreation centers
Of course, if you decide to go fishing on the Tom River with your family, then you will want to rent a house with all the amenities. Therefore, we decided to consider several options. It is worth immediately noting the Elykaevskaya Sloboda recreation center. It is located in a picturesque place on the river bank and near a pine forest.

Asinovsky district
Fishing in Asino in the Tomsk region can take place almost all year round, since most reservoirs have large fish stocks. Although most of the fish here are crucian carp and minnow. An absolute advantage is that most bodies of water can be reached by any type of transport in a matter of hours, since they are all very compactly located. Well, the most favorite place for fishing is Lake Cordon.

Fishing on the Ob
As a rule, it is not customary to speak generally about fishing on the Ob in the Tomsk region, since this large river is distinguished by a huge number of tributaries, where a wide variety of fish live. However, you can still say a few words about relaxing on this reservoir, where tourists from all over Russia come.
As a rule, the Ob receives the most guests in the winter season, when its waters are bound by a strong layer of ice. For ice fishing, it is recommended to use a bottom fishing rod, and the bait in this case is selected depending on the type of fish being hunted. Pike bite on fry, roach on maggots, crucian carp on bloodworms or worms.
In the spring after the flood, you can find a large number of fishermen on boats trying to catch spawning fish. In general, the law prohibits catching most types of fish in the spring, but if you do it in small quantities, you are unlikely to cause much harm to the environment and the quantity of fish stocks.
