There are many juvenile bream in the catches. The Kasli fish factory owns only the northern part of the lake (up to the island), and the southern half of the reservoir is assigned to the Kyshtym fish factory. Other significant lakes containing fish species other than crucian carp are located to the west, north and east of the city of Kasli. These lakes include:

Oz. Arakul. Located northwest of the city of Kasli and east of the Silach crossing of the Sverdlovsk-Chelyabinsk railway line. The area of the lake is 340 hectares (according to other sources, 300 hectares). The average depth is 3 m, the greatest is 11 m. Transparency is 6.4 m.

There are reed thickets along the western shore, as well as in Olkhovskaya, Kaganskaya and Maksimova Kurye (bay). Underwater vegetation (pondweed, elodea) is significant in places and reaches a depth of 5 m. The lake is home to ruffe, tench, yellow crucian carp, bream, burbot, and whitefish. The main fish are roach, perch, and pike. Average (over four years) productivity is 38.5 kg. In the silty sediments of the deep part of the lake, even in summer, hydrogen sulfide is formed and a large 9 g of oxygen is noted, and sharp temperature jumps are observed in different and surface layers of water. These circumstances cause the death (death) of fish such as whitefish, burbot, and large bream. The death of these fish is also observed in the summer. The banks are sloping, steep and rocky in places. There are forests and mountains all around. The Kaganka and Olkhovka rivers flow into the lake. The source is the Arakulka River, on which the Arakul fish breeding plant of the fish trust is located, growing whitefish, ripus, and peled. The Arakulka flows into the Vyazovka River, and the latter into Lake Silach. In Arakulka and Vyazovka, brook trout, bred here by fish farmer I.V. Kuchin back in 1913, was recently encountered. On the northern bank of the Arakul there is a rest house, pioneer camps and a village. In the summer, people come here for fishing from Chelyabinsk, Ufaley, Vishnegorsk. Fishing is carried out mainly with a fishing rod (roach and perch), as well as with a line and spinning rod (pike).
