Fishing in the Dmitrovsky district

Today we are heading strictly to the north of the Moscow region. I fully admit that many Muscovite fishermen do not even know about some reservoirs in this direction; mainly only local amateurs from the Taldomsky district and the neighboring Tver region fish here.

Getting to some bodies of water is problematic due to the lack of convenient access; you have to walk through the wilderness for miles with a backpack on your shoulders and fishing rods in your hands. Only true fishermen, true fans of their craft, are capable of this.

You immediately forget all the road difficulties and hardships as soon as you reach the final goal - you find yourself in a fabulously beautiful corner of nature untouched by “civilization.” And what kind of fishing is there! Imagine that you hooked a fish and the rod bent into an arc, the taut fishing line began to cut through the water with a ringing sound, and after exciting fishing you pulled out a golden-bronze giant crucian carp weighing three kilograms! Yes, don’t be surprised, there are places here where you can catch such fish with a fishing rod.

Lake Kuznetsovskoye

However, first things first. At the very outskirts of the northern Moscow region there is Lake Kuznetsovskoye . The village of Kuznetsovo is located nearby, hence the name of the lake. The reservoir is rich in a variety of fish: crucian carp, roach, perch, pike. There are especially a lot of crucian carp, and large ones at that. Whoever visits here will not regret it and will certainly want to come here again and again. A rich catch of plump crucian carp is almost guaranteed. The fish here, one might say, is not spoiled with different “dishes”, as is observed in the reservoirs of the near Moscow region. Therefore, it always bites on a worm and other bait.

Fishing on Lake Kuznetsovskoe

Fishing here is possible both in summer and winter. In summer, you can use a float rod to hook crucian carp, roach, and striped robber perch. Pike and large perch are caught using spinning rods and fishing rods. In winter, pike can be caught well with girders. There are also perch. In winter, perch and roach are caught using jig tackle. The most successful fishing occurs on the first and last ice.

It is especially pleasant to sit with a fishing rod on the western shore of the lake. Here the forest comes close to the water, protecting it from the wind and creating a special coziness. You can always find a place to pitch a tent and do your favorite thing - fishing.

How to get to Kuznetsovsky

Directions: by car along the Dmitrovskoe highway through Taldom to the village of Kvashonki, here turn right to the village of Khrabrovo, then go north to the village of Glebovo. From here follow the dirt road to the lake, which will be to the right of the road.

Lake Solkovskoye

A few kilometers southwest of Kuznetsovskoye is Lake Solkovskoye. It is surrounded on all sides by dense forest. If you decide to go here for the first time, it is better to go with a partner who knows this area. Otherwise, you can get lost in the forest, but never reach your goal.

Fishing on Lake Solkovskoe

And the fishing here is simply fabulous. The fish composition is almost the same as on Lake Kuznetsovskoye, but the fish are much larger and bite better. Apparently, this is due to the fact that, due to its inaccessibility, the reservoir is rarely visited by fishermen and the fish are not scared. Large crucian carp, roach, and heavy perches are caught using a float rod. Spinners don’t have to get bored either. There are a lot of pike here, and large ones, which greedily grab almost any bait - a spinner, a wobbler, a twister, a vibrotail, a foam rubber.

Along with the toothy predator, there are also large perches. Fishing is also possible in winter. She is especially lucky during the first ice season. At this time, pike and perch are well caught using winter lures and vertical lures.

And there was not a soul around. Quiet and deserted. Only the quack of a duck sometimes breaks the pristine silence, and the wind rustles in the treetops. My soul is light and calm. At such moments, you especially acutely feel your unity with Mother Nature.

How to get to Solkovsky

It’s more convenient to get here this way: by car along the Dmitrovskoye Highway we get to Taldom, then turn right to Esaulovo, and then left to the village of Glebovo, and from here again to the village of Yurino. Here you will have to leave the car and walk more than three kilometers along forest paths.

Lake Zolotaya Veshka

But, perhaps, the most remarkable lake in the northern Moscow region is a reservoir with the strange name Zolotaya Veshka . It’s even hard to believe that in our time such a wonderful, beautiful and cozy corner of nature near Moscow could survive.

Rabalka on the Golden Veshka

And most importantly – what kind of fishing is there! There are a lot of crucian carp in the lake of both types - silver and gold. Fish as big as your palm are actively biting, but often a silver crucian weighing up to one and a half kilograms is on the hook, and a gold carp weighing three kilograms! It’s not hard to imagine how many unforgettable, exciting moments a fisherman experiences while fishing for such an underwater giant!

How to get to the Golden Veshka

Directions: by car along Dmitrovskoye Highway to Taldom, then north to the village of Kvashonki, here turn right towards the village of Kolbasino. Here you will again have to leave the car and walk more than four kilometers along a forest path to the lake. You can also get there by public transport: by train from Savelovsky station to Taldom, then by local bus to Kolbasino.

Lake near the village of Zhestylevo

The reservoir is large and deep, the main wealth is large crucian carp and carp, which are excellently caught with donks and with a fishing rod. There are a lot of perch; you can successfully catch them in the summer using small fish or spinning bait.

Here's what you need to know: Fishing with Styrofoam Balls Instead of Bait

He is especially good at catching the first ice in the winter with a large silver spoon or a jig with live bait - bleak. Sometimes a pike is also caught along with the perch.

Carp and crucian carp are mainly caught in the lower part of the pond, near the dam. And it is better to catch perch in the upper and middle parts of the reservoir.

Travel Dmitrovskoe highway, through the city of Dmitrov to Rogachevo, to the village. Sinkovo, here turn left and after 1 km you are on the shore.

, or the railway Savelovsky direction to the station. Dmitrov, then by bus going to Rogachevo to the village. Sinkovo ​​and 1 km on foot.

The reservoir is flowing and inhabited by perch, pike, roach and crucian carp. There are even carp, but the bite is quite capricious.

The reservoir is an experimental base for the Research Institute of Pond Fisheries. Nearby there are countless small fish-breeding reservoirs, where fishing is sometimes allowed.

Directions By car - Dmitrovskoe highway to the city of Dmitrov, then to Zhestylevo Railway - station. Dmitrov, then by bus to Zhestylevo.

Lake Zabolotskoye

There is another remarkable lake in this direction of the Moscow region - Zabolotskoye . It fully justifies its name: the forested banks are very swampy. Therefore, in summer fishing here is only possible from a boat. The lake is rich in crucian carp, roach, perch, and pike. The reservoir is very impressive in size, its length from north to south is more than a kilometer, and its width is half a kilometer. And all the banks are swampy, especially in the northern part.

Directions: by car along the Yaroslavskoe highway to Sergiev Posad, from here turn left towards Deulino and Fedortsevo. Then go left to the village of Zabolotye, from which in favorable weather you can get there along a dirt road, and after rain - only on foot (two kilometers).

Reservoir not marked on the map

A few kilometers east of Lake Zabolotskoye there is a very original reservoir, not indicated either on the topographic map or on the atlas of the Moscow region. Although it is very impressive in size, the opposite bank is not even visible. Its originality lies in the fact that numerous tree trunks protrude directly from the water, in some places entire dense rows of them. Despite its impressive size, the reservoir is shallow, only in some places the depth exceeds two meters. It is said that this vast but shallow reservoir was formed by damming a local river.

The reservoir is very rich in white crucian carp. I had a chance to visit here once and still have the most pleasant memories of that fishing. Fished from an inflatable boat. On a “sandwich” of bloodworms and maggots, the crucian carp bit simply superbly. Moreover, the float rarely sunk, most often it slowly floated up and lay down. The bite was so active that the usual joy at the sight of a bite gradually dulled, as fishing turned into mechanical work of casting gear and pulling out the next fish.

Out of habit, I tried to fish with semolina porridge flavored with sunflower oil and anise. There were bites, but noticeably less frequently than with the “sandwich”. Only closer to noon the bite subsided. But by this time I had already caught eight and a half kilograms of crucian carp with two fishing rods.

Due to the abundance of fish and the constant bite, the reservoir is very popular among fishing enthusiasts. Suffice it to say that fishermen come here not only from the Moscow region, but also from the Vladimir, Tver, Yaroslavl and even Ivanovo regions. In a “spontaneous” parking lot you can always see more than a hundred cars.

Directions: after the already mentioned village of Fedortsevo, turn right towards the village of Polubarskoye. From here it is about half a kilometer on foot to the reservoir.

Fishing in Dmitrov and the region on the map - reservoirs

You can see all the nearest bodies of water on the map and choose where to go fishing. And this is, first of all, the Moscow Canal, ponds in Orudyevo, Rybnoye, Prudtsy, Petrakovo. Lenevskoye Lake, Zhestylevo Reservoir and other ponds, of which there are sufficient quantities.

Reservoirs (rivers, ponds) for fishing in the Dmitrovsky district, Moscow region:

Fishing on the Moscow Canal

Lake Ozeretskoye

It should also be said about Lake Ozeretskoye , located next to the Dmitrov-Sergiev Posad highway. The reservoir is also of considerable interest to fishing enthusiasts. There are crucian carp, perch, pike, rotan here. Considering that the shores of the lake are also very swampy, summer fishing here is only possible from a boat. Only in some places you can approach the water along paths from the shore. In winter, the lake is more accessible for fishing. You can catch pike and perch using winter baits and vertical lures.

Getting here is easy: by car along the Yaroslavskoe highway to Sergiev Posad, turn left towards Dmitrov and get to the village of Ozeretskoye. The lake is nearby, on the left as you go. Or along the Dmitrovskoe highway to Dmitrov, turn right towards Sergiev Posad and drive again to the village of Ozeretskoye.

You may also be interested in the bite forecast for all fish in the Moscow region, or fishing in the Moscow region. Well, there is fishing in the neighboring reservoirs in the Voskresensky district.

Rivers Sestra, Dubna and Yakhroma

The Sestra, Dubna, and Yakhroma rivers flowing through this area are also of great interest to fishermen. The coolest places on the Sestra River begin in the area after Klin before it flows into the Dubna River - the river is very winding, forms many deep pools and wide reaches. From early spring to late autumn, bream, roach, perch, dace, silver bream, chub, and ide are successfully caught here using a float rod and bottom tackle. To the delight of spinning anglers, there are a lot of pike here, and even catfish. Good fishing on the river in winter.

Conditions for fishing are approximately the same on the Dubna River. Its fish composition is almost the same, only there are more chub and dace here. The most interesting places for fishing are located in the lower reaches of the river, starting from Verbilki to the confluence with the Volga. There are many deep pools with a slow current, where you can always count on productive fishing.

The Yakhroma River is interesting for fishing only in its lower reaches, starting from the village of Ust-Pristan. As the water warms up after the spring flood, roach, ide, and bream are easily caught here. However, by mid-summer the river becomes very overgrown and fishing on it becomes almost impossible.

Yakhroma River

(from the village of Lugovoy to the village of Ust-Pristpan) The lower reaches of the river are interesting throughout the year.

Here the river is deep, winding, with whirlpools. Just 6 km upstream from the village.

Ust-Pristan, the character of the river changes dramatically, the depth is 1.5-2 m, the banks are open, treeless, there is good fishing here for roach, bream and ide at the beginning of the season, already in July the river is overgrown with a continuous carpet of algae.

System of reservoirs from the canal named after. Moscow

And finally, in the near north of the Moscow region, within just an hour's drive from the capital, there is a whole system of reservoirs formed by the canal named after. Moscow. We are talking about the Ikshinsky , Pestovsky , Uchinsky , Pyalovsky , Klyazminsky and Pirogovsky reservoirs.

I think that there is no need to describe each of these reservoirs in detail, since they are well known to fishermen in Moscow and the near Moscow region.

The fish “assortment” in all these reservoirs is almost the same: bream, roach, perch, pike, pike perch, burbot, silver bream, ide, crucian carp, tench, ruff. Eels and catfish are less common. Fishing conditions are also similar; people fish here with both float rods from boats and donkeys from the shore; there are especially many fishermen here in winter.
