Another limitation concerns the hooks used by one angler - their number should be no more than 100, regardless of the number of gear.

Usinsky Bay

Usinsky Bay is the most popular place for Togliatti fishermen. It can rightfully be called one of the best places in the entire middle Volga. Its name comes from the Usa River. At this point it merges with the great Volga. Usa originates from the village of Gremyachiy. Its source is two streams. This river flows throughout the Samara region. Its length is about 143 km. Flowing into the Volga, it forms an entire bay. This is where the fishing in Tolyatti is the best!

What can you catch on a hook? Large crucian carp and roach live in these places. But Tolyatti fishermen come here more often for carp. It can be caught both from the shore and from a boat. Predatory species also live here; pike catch lures on a spinning rod quite well. And they catch silver bream or ide on donks.

Fishing on the Usa River and in the bay

Near Togliatti, the Usa River flows into the Kuibyshev Reservoir, forming the Usinsky Bay. Some fish on the river, others closer to the bay.

Variety of fish in Usa

The length of the Usa River is 43 kilometers. The maximum width is 4 kilometers. The bottom is usually sandy or muddy. The shore is steep and flat in places. The vast Usinsky Bay is located directly near Togliatti. The Zhigulevsky Nature Reserve is also located here.

• gudgeon,
• crucian carp,
• carp,
• perch,
• roach,
• chub,
• bleak,
• burbot,

Trout is very rarely caught.

In summer, local fishermen catch roach and chub from the sandbars. In places with sharp changes in depth, silver bream and burbot are found.

In the fall, they catch pike that live under sunken snags and in bottom holes. Crucian carp and crucian carp bite well. In winter, perch and pike are pulled out from under the ice.

A good bite occurs in the spring after spawning, when the fish are attacked by the so-called zhor. They are caught using long float rods and spinning rods. To catch perch, burbot, silver bream and roach, worms, bloodworms, bread and maggots are used as bait, for chub - grasshopper and beetle, for carp and crucian carp - corn, pearl barley, peas.

Fishing in Komarovka

Another excellent and incredibly popular place among locals is Komarovka. Here you can leave your spinning rod and sit with your fishing rod. Komarovka is famous for the fact that here you can fish out a respectable specimen of carp on a hook. You can get to these places along the highway passing through Muranka. You can also approach from the south. Then you will need to choose a direction along the Moscow-Syzran highway. The main thing is to remember that when choosing this route, you need to remember to take a boat with you. You will have to swim to the opposite shore. In winter the situation is somewhat simpler. You can just walk across the ice. Here is the best fishing for carp in Togliatti. These places receive excellent reviews from fishermen. The fact is that the bottom of this reservoir is all covered with snags and driftwood. This is what attracts large carp here. They are caught not in holes and at depth, but next to them. This is where the fish come out to feed. It is very effective to catch carp from the shore; you can try your luck in the shallows.

Fishing reports in Tolyatti

Togliatti today is a city suitable for lovers of hunting and fishing, since it is located on the shore of a reservoir, and in the area there are many reservoirs suitable for fishing. They differ in the types of fish found and conditions; there are paid reservoirs with developed infrastructure.

Below are reviews from anglers who decided to share their impressions of fishing in Tolyatti:

1. Oleg: “I was born and raised in Tolyatti, so during my life I have managed to travel to most of our local reservoirs. In recent years, I no longer go too far; more often I fish exclusively within the city. The fishing here is no worse - last month I started using microjigging gear, and I can catch perches up to 200-300 grams. and pike, the weight of some individuals reaches a kilogram.”
2. Roman: “I often go on business trips to Togliatti, I visit this city at different times of the year, but I always try to make time for fishing. The last time I came after the New Year holidays, the weather was frosty, the thermometer showed -17°C, but it was sunny. This trip turned out to be productive in terms of catch: I caught a lot of crucian carp, and among them there were large specimens. After some time, I established that the most effective balancers are blue, if carried out at a depth of about 5 meters, this experiment allowed me to add pike perch to the catch - a fish that could not be caught here before! Some weighed up to a kilogram, a very good catch. I went fishing several times, but I noticed that the bite starts early in the morning and continues until noon, after which there is a lull.”
3. Alexey: “This summer I was on vacation in Tolyatti, it was a short vacation, and it was my first time in this city, so I didn’t spend much time on fishing. I've been going to the Volga with friends in the last few days, the bite here is simply excellent! Even without preparing, we were able to catch more than 30 crucian carp; we didn’t catch any other fish.”
4. Mikhail: “This year I was in Tolyatti, where for the first time in my life I had the opportunity to experience the delights of fishing with feeder gear. Local residents talked about a good bream bite and they were not deceived: although the catch was small in size, the volume of the catch was impressive. Sometimes I came across sabrefish, but they turned out to be very small here, so I sent them back to the reservoir.”
5. Leonid: “I visit Togliatti often, but last year for the first time I came outside the warm season, so winter fishing was new. I went to the reservoir near Tashly early on a sunny morning, the temperature outside was -10°C, and to the surprise of the fishermen there were already a lot of fishermen on site. I talked to them in advance: they said that now the conditions are good for catching perch, so the bite is stable: most of them already had 3-5 fish caught. I can’t say that the bite was perfect, but a small perch caught the balance beams, and equally successfully both from the bottom and from the middle water layers. I spent half a day at the reservoir, the catch was 14 perches, but then a strong and cold wind arose, I froze, and the fish activity decreased, and I went home. The experience turned out to be useful; in summer and spring, fishing conditions are more favorable, but in winter this process turned out to be no less exciting.”
6. Evgeniy: “The last time I was fishing in Togliatti was on January 24 of this year; my friend and I arrived at the Vasilyevsky Islands at dawn. The friend’s main target was pike perch, but either he was mistaken that this fish was found here, or it was too passive that day - there were no signs of his presence. I decided to catch perch - specimens weighing 150-300 grams were actively pecked, they started going home in the late afternoon and returned with a good catch.”
