From the reservoir along the gravel road, first the first lock on the left, without turning, we reach the second lock, and after a kilometer the third. And there is a canal on the right.

Features of fishing and main fish
Fishing on the Mozhaisk Reservoir is a favorite pastime of local residents and visiting fishermen. There are a good three dozen species of fish here, both local and artificially bred.

in winter
Experienced pike perch hunters spend the month of December in deep holes. Some try their luck in bad places. You are not always lucky; both spinners and even offset rigs get caught. In January they are sometimes caught on the water. And in February the ice is already strong, you need to drill more than 20 cm thick. That makes it all the more joyful to open or replenish your account of winter victories. The fishing line is needed stronger - 0.2, 0.3. The catchable spinners must be identified by sorting out different types. Some craftsmen even make them from spoons by sawing off the handle and drilling holes for a hook. In shallow places, feeding holes attract roaches. It is not recommended to use traditional bloodworms; all sorts of little things, like hungry brushes, are thrown at them. In general, the best bite is during the thaw. Author: Pike.Pinsk©, photo: 19TOLYAN71, fly, Dima68.

Pudyshi, Yauzskoye Reservoir - fishing in winter
Avid fishermen prefer to go to the Yauzskoye Reservoir in winter.
Fishing here during this period has a number of features:
- Ice does not form in many areas due to warm currents;
- The fish you come across are heavy; often in the winter months trophy varieties are fished out;
- There is an excellent bite on artificial and always scented baits.
In order to leave with a decent catch in winter, you need to know some nuances regarding this reservoir:
- From the beginning of January to the end of February the ice is thickest.
- White bream and silver bream migrate to maximum depth - they bite most in areas where the depth is from 8 to 9 meters.
- Only pike are found in the pits - from December to February, pike bite excellently on small crucian carp and pieces of fresh liver.
- Towards mid-March, bream and silver bream are found at a depth of 4-5 meters.
Bream and silver bream begin to move towards shallow water as air and water temperatures rise.
Experienced fishermen highlight the most fruitful places for fishing in the winter months:
- near the villages of Bolshie Nosovye and Arzhaniki;
- to the right of the village of Pudyshi.
Advice: you can try fishing in less popular areas, the main thing is to use the right bait in this case.
Knowledgeable fishermen suggest that on the Yauza Reservoir in the winter season a fruitful catch is guaranteed by:
- The use of several gears , especially with increased sensitivity.
- Using bloodworms as bait. If it is difficult to obtain natural baits, then artificial baits are a good alternative, most importantly small in size, shiny in color and with a pungent odor.
- The holes should not be too small.
Advice: on a reservoir, especially in popular places, many holes remain from previous anglers. It is worth paying attention to them so as not to waste your time making new ones.
Features of aquifers
The entire territory of the region is located on the hills and is rich in water resources. On the territory of the Mozhaisk district are the sources of the rivers Vorya, Luzha, Moscow, Protva and Rut, as well as the largest reservoir in this area, the Mozhaisk reservoir (the largest basin feeding the Moscow River and its tributaries - Inoch, Iskona and Koloch). Artesian waters are fed by the Podolsko-Myachkovsky aquifer, and in some settlements by the Kashira underground basin. In other words, there are a lot of prerequisites for water drilling in this area.
