The river is the most significant tributary of the Kama; it originates in the north of Udmurtia. The reservoir is characterized by sharp changes in flow directions, which creates many bends and turns.

Vyatka River

Usually in Vyatka you come across pike perch, pike, ide, perch, sabrefish, chub, burbot and perch. The ruff is ubiquitous. Occasionally, bersh, carp, sterlet and podust are caught. In the upper reaches the following types of fish are popular: bleak, gudgeon, dace, and roach.

If we take into account the fishing methods, then almost all gear is allowed here: donks, float rods, spinning rods, girders, etc.

Fishing tips

The Kirov region is characterized by the presence of various living creatures, including fish. In the reservoirs of the region, both small ruff and salmon are found. Therefore, the catch can be very varied and surprising. In addition to wild reservoirs, fish breeding and the organization of fishing and recreation on paid reservoirs have recently been practiced.

Types of fish and their habitats

Every fisherman, especially an experienced one with solid fishing experience, knows some fishing secrets. This makes it possible to always be with a catch. Local fishermen also have certain skills that they are happy to share with other fishermen.

Determining a promising location

Most fish prefer to stay within the limits of obstacles in the water, both natural and artificial. Such places are interesting for fish for several reasons. Firstly, in such places you can hide from danger, and secondly, due to the presence of whirlpools, in such places the water is always saturated with oxygen.

Fishing in general is an unforgettable event that brings a lot of positive emotions, and fishing in the Kirov region is no exception. There are no limits on catch volumes, but you should always fish with knowledge of the law, and it says that large specimens of rare fish should be released.

In the Vyatka River, fish can be caught using any gear. For example:

• fly fishing;
• spinning fishing;
• fly fishing.

Fishing on this river is not always effective due to frequent weather changes. In such conditions, the fish hides in deep holes, each time waiting out bad weather.

Reviews from fishermen

The total number of reviews on fishing in the Kirov region is positive. Most fishermen managed to find promising places and were left with a catch. This applies to both experienced fishermen and novice fishermen.

It makes sense to read some reviews from anglers who spent time on reservoirs in the Kirov region:

• “During the process of fishing with a spinning rod in the upper reaches of the Maloma River, I got the impression that there were no fish in the river at all, but towards the evening a crazy bite began, which was simply delightful.”
• “As a local fisherman, I have been fishing here since childhood, when my father taught me his craft. There is enough fish in the reservoirs, so there is enough for my children, whom I help find fishing spots and teach the intricacies of fishing.”
• “Coming to paid reservoirs you get a lot of pleasure. The most important thing is that we managed to catch trout.”

Paid fishing

This type of fishing appeared quite recently and is developing very intensively in our time. There are several fish farms known today that practice paid fishing:

• “Cordon Donuarovo” is located in the Kilmez district. It represents an entire recreation center with built houses, where all amenities are available, along with three meals a day and other opportunities. You can catch fish here in any part of the reservoir. Fishing per day will cost one and a half thousand rubles per person.
• Sosnovy village. Some local ponds breed carp and allow anglers to catch fish for 70 rubles a day, which is quite cheap. As for other services, you will have to pay for them separately.
• Fishing in the village of Klyukovo. Here they breed trout. Within the pond there is a house where you can spend the night. Large fish are caught here, and the low cost (only 100 rubles) attracts many anglers, especially since trout is caught here.
• In the direction of Strizhi, turning towards Doronichy, you can get to paid reservoirs created artificially. For 50 rubles a day you can catch any fish here.
• Sanatorium "Vyatskie Uvaly". There is a beautiful koi pond here. For one kilogram of caught fish you will have to pay 35 rubles. There is a lot of fish here, and the price is attractive.
• Isakovsky ponds. Fish such as perch, pike, and carp are found here, so this place is very popular both for local fishermen and for visiting fishing enthusiasts. Fishing prices may vary and you can only find out about them by arriving at the reservoir.

Spinning fishing in 2018-2019

Such fishing has existed since ancient times and is common on most rivers, including the Vyatka. Donka fishing usually occurs at night.

Although, some fishermen are trying to practice daytime bottom fishing. Only night catches are more productive.

This type of fishing takes place from spring to late autumn. The sites should have a fairly clean bottom from the shore or from a boat.

As for the current, choose a calm one. Donka quite often comes across trophy specimens.

When bottom fishing, baits lie on the bottom and scare away fish less than baits that hang on a fishing line.

Donka fishing in Vyatka is carried out for fish that lead a predominantly bottom-dwelling lifestyle. This should include carp, burbot, pike or bream.

The list also includes roach and perch. And the species composition itself, which is allowed to be caught with donka, is quite impressive, from ruff to catfish.

It is impossible to accurately answer the question about the best place to fish for donk. Here everyone has their own preferences and speculations on this matter.

If we take into account the seasons, then in the spring it is more practical to fish with a donkey in the shallows, but in the autumn, choose deeper places.

Usually, on Vyatka, local fishermen use such bottom tackle as a zakidushka. You don’t even have to use a fishing rod.

You just need to tie the fishing line to a peg that is driven into the ground. And then reel this line after fishing on a special reel.

3-5 hooks with numbers 4-7 are mounted on the hook and a sinker weighing 40-100 grams is installed at the end of the fishing line, which is in the form of a cone or spoon. Recently, donka P has also become increasingly used.

Viktorova. It is a short rod with a length of no more than 1.

2 meters with fishing line 0. 3-0.

4 mm and with sharp forged hooks. As for the leashes for such gear, they are created no more than 20 cm.

This type of gear also has an elastic band 5-6 meters long.
