The fishery consists of several reservoirs where paid fishing for various types of fish is organized for amateur anglers. Several fishery ponds are scattered throughout the Istrinsky district of the Moscow region.
The services provided by the farm are often used by residents of Moscow and the Moscow region, using the territory of the ponds for recreation and going out into nature with entire families on holidays and weekends.

In fishery ponds, fishing is allowed mainly only from the shore, but there are no restrictions on fishing, which allows you to count on a good catch.

The plant had a production base located in the village of Rakovo. In the 90s, the company was reoriented to provide paid services in the field of fishing.

Reservoirs
The fishery farm includes a number of ponds located in a cascade on the Malaya Istra River. The upper reservoir is used for carp breeding and paid fishing is allowed throughout the year. In the autumn, some of the fish move down the river and enter the lower reservoirs, where pike and roach live.
On the upper reservoir, fishing is allowed exclusively from the shoreline, and on the lower reservoir, you can also use a boat; the entire shore is covered with thickets of grass and reeds, which prevents normal fishing.

Reviews
Vacationers or simply amateur fishermen, with the beginning of the active fishing season, select bodies of water for fishing. Many people prefer the quantity of fish caught over quality (individual large fish) to justify the money spent on buying a trip.
An important aspect is also the distance of the reservoir from Moscow, the time spent traveling to the fishing spot and back, and the cost of gasoline spent on the trip. The place must have an established infrastructure: a cafe, a store, normal roads, in order to avoid the adventure of finding a tractor to rescue a stuck car from the mud.
The most suitable place for fishing is the Rakovo fishery, located 50 km from the capital and offering several reservoirs of different sizes for fishing, where the main catch is crucian carp and crucian carp.
If you demonstrate skill and dexterity when fishing, you can also catch:
- trout;
- pike;
- roach;
- pike perch;

Avid experienced fishermen have a constant catch of 10-15 kg, which is sufficient compensation for fishing expenses.
The disadvantages of this fishing spot include the absence of residential houses for vacationers, a store, and a cafe on the territory of the base. Many fishermen come with their families, and providing guest accommodation would be very helpful. Additionally, it is necessary to organize the rental of fishing gear, bait, equipment and create more favorable conditions for recreation and fishing for visiting fishing enthusiasts.
