Fishing plant Malaya Istra - Paid fishing in Moscow and the Moscow region

detailed information

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.

The farm includes ponds:

No. 1 (feeding pond), with a total area of 50 hectares;
No. 2 (feeding) pond, with a total area of 300 hectares;
ponds from 2 to 12 hectares.

To fish, you must purchase a one-time permit. Various types of fish are bred in reservoirs: carp, crucian carp, perch, roach, tench and other types of fish.

The reservoirs are used for fish farming and various types of fish are grown in them. In the largest reservoir, the most valuable species of fish are bred - carp (there are some fish weighing 3-4 kg) and trout.

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 Malaya Istra fish processing plant was founded in 1971 to organize the supply of live fish to retail chains and public catering establishments to supply residents of the city and region. 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.

Who can you catch?

In local reservoirs you can find different breeds of fish, while some of them are found only in a certain pond. It is recommended to first check with the farm staff about where and what kind of prey can be found, so as not to waste time searching for it.

Below are the main breeds that are found in Rakovo:

Crucian carp, perch, roach and carp are the main types of prey; they can be found in all reservoirs of Rakovo. There are different subspecies of these fish in local ponds, all of which are well suited for beginners.
Carp is a related breed to carp, and is also a favorite catch of many fishermen.
Trout is the most valuable catch in Rakovo, belonging to the salmon family. Breeding began recently, and you can’t find it everywhere; places are shown separately by farm staff if you have a permit for fishing there.
Pike is the most popular species of local predator.
Pike perch is distinguished by very tasty and healthy meat, which is rich in easily digestible proteins.
Silver carp in local reservoirs were bred to keep the water clean and transparent, but they are also prey for many fishermen.
Grass carp is a noble fish and a valuable catch; many people go to Rakovo just for it.

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;
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.
