Fishing in the Nizhny Novgorod Region: TOP rating of catching places

The largest bodies of water in the region

There are several large reservoirs in the region, each of which has a rich and diverse ichthyofauna. Fishing on each of them will be exciting and unforgettable for everyone.

Oka River

This waterway is popular among fishermen. Both peaceful fish species and various predators are caught here.

The most successful places, according to experienced fishermen, are:

Babinsky backwater;
Dudenevo;
Nizkovo;
Burnout;
the mouth of Kishma;
the mouth of Muromka;
Khabarskoe;
Chulkovo.

Fishing is also carried out on the territory of the city; the most successful in this regard will be the district, the South microdistrict. Known to local residents, Strelka is where the Oka flows into the Volga; fishing here is a real pleasure.

Volga river

You can fish on the Volga all year round, and every time even a beginner will have a catch. According to the seasons, fishing can be divided into two seasons:

April-October	the best time for spinners and feeder lovers
November-April	time for ice fishing lovers

Throughout the year, the trophy for everyone will be:

pike;
chub;
asp;
zander;
catfish;
bream;
carp.

There are always plenty of bleaks, roaches, ruffs, and minnows here; even a child can catch plenty of these fish without any problems.

I've been working hard in the fishing tackle department for the past six years. I can help you assemble almost any gear.

Ask a Question

There are more than enough places to have a pleasant time with a fishing rod; locals are happy to show them and tell you how to get there.

Our review about recreation and fishing in the Nizhny Novgorod region

And yet, by and large, the fishing was very successful! We still brought some fish home for salting!

This was caught in one morning on one float before the trip home - in just two and a half hours! Next year we will definitely try to go to the same place and take more worms! Who knows how this picturesque place will greet us next summer!

I forgot to say - upon arrival at the vacation spot, they collected five bags of garbage from some tourists! Respect nature and take with you everything you brought! This takes up significantly less space in the trunk than you took with you on vacation! Otherwise, in the near future we won’t be able to go anywhere to rest! Let's drown in our own...! Take care of nature, and good luck to all fishermen in our difficult task!

Gorky Reservoir

This huge body of water was formed in the mid-20th century during the construction of a hydroelectric power station nearby. The storage has the following parameters:

area: 1590 sq. km.
length along the Volga channel: 440 km
maximum width: Up to 14 km

The reservoir is divided into two parts:

lake, from the hydroelectric dam to the mouth of the Unzha;
the river one, which is located above.

The lake part is almost devoid of current, but the river part looks no different from a flood river.

People from all over the country and region come here for:

perch;
sorozhka;
Bersham;
language;
asp;
roach;
carp;
carp;
bleak.

Trophy specimens are taken from the bottom layers of water, including perch up to 18 kg, pike weighing 12 kg or more, large carp, carp, catfish and tench.

Free medium and small reservoirs

In the Nizhny Novgorod region there are many reservoirs with absolutely free fishing. Anyone can, having previously armed themselves with gear and stocked up on bait and bait, go to any of them and indulge their souls in their favorite hobby. You can fish both on rivers and lakes.

Both predators and peaceful fish are caught using spinning rods, float tackle, feeders, donka and summer girders. Most often, fishing is done most successfully on the following rivers:

Kerzhenets;
Vetluga;
Kudma;
Linda;
Drunk;
Lunda;
Seryozha;
Sura;
Tesha;
Pattern;
South;
Yakhra.

Fishing occurs not only in open water; during freeze-up, fishing is no less successful.

There are a lot of lakes of different sizes in the area; I fish with all permitted gear throughout the year. Avid fishermen are often lucky and get large specimens of carp, carp, and catfish.

Paid fishing spots

Paid fishing in the Nizhny Novgorod region not only promises a decent catch and a good bite in advance, but also makes the fishing process more comfortable. You do not need to purchase several different tackles, a boat and equipment in order to enjoy different types of fishing. Rentals of water transport and equipment are available at paid reservoirs. This saves both time and money.

"Hop Glade"

Not far from the Zarya fish farm there are wonderful picturesque ponds. Since the times of the Soviet Union, many fishermen remember how wonderful fishing was at the Khmelevaya Polyana fish farm (Nizhny Novgorod region). Paid fishing is popular here at the moment.

The pond is located about fifty kilometers from the city. Fishermen have a choice of two deep-sea reservoirs with clean water. One pond is slightly smaller in size, the second is quite impressive in width and length. Mostly carp and crucian carps are found here. Not a lot, not so varied, but the catch will be large, and the bite will be constant.

The large pond is home to mostly crucian carp and fishing here costs a little less – from 250–350 rubles for twelve hours of rental. Paid fishing in the Nizhny Novgorod region in a small pond, where mainly large carp are found, will cost fishermen a little more - 600 rubles per day. In addition to gear, you can rent a place to spend the night, a gazebo or a barbecue.

The only negative is that in bad, slushy weather the path to the ponds is a little difficult. It is better to go fishing in these places when it is dry and the sun is shining. This will keep you in a good mood and make fishing more enjoyable.

"Chistye Prudy"

A popular country club is located 55 kilometers from the city. The most famous paid fishing lakes in the Nizhny Novgorod region are located here. Fishermen have access to three reservoirs with different types of fish (carp and silver carp, catfish and pike, crucian carp and perch, grass carp). On the shores of the lakes there are guest houses where there are comfortable conditions for a complete country holiday.

It is possible to rent fishing houses, which are built right on the shore of the lake. Boats, tackle, hunting and fishing equipment, barbecues, a mushroom forest, a Russian bathhouse - all this will be available to those who are attracted to Chistye Prudy and paid fishing in the Nizhny Novgorod region. Reviews about the country club are extremely positive. No one left in a bad mood and without a great catch.

"Zarya"

The reservoirs located near the village of Konstantinovo are very loved by both “savage” fishermen and “paying fishermen”. In general, paid fishing in the Nizhny Novgorod region (Dalnekonstantinovsky district and Vyazovka) is very popular among experienced fishermen. Not far from here there is a fishing farm with the colorful name “Zarya”. There are several reservoirs that form cascades. Mostly carp, crucian carp and pike are found. Roach, chub and perch can also get hooked.

The water in the ponds is very clean, and the bottom is free of snags and thickets. This is what distinguishes free fishing from paid fishing in the Nizhny Novgorod region. You will never leave a tangled hook in the grass near the shore or lose your line caught in a snag at the bottom of the pond.

You can use either the usual carp gear or rent a boat and fish from it. The prices are quite reasonable (from one hundred rubles for renting a vehicle). Fishing in these places is allowed from the beginning of spring (April) until the cold weather (late November). From September to October, pike fishing is excellent.

"Lake near the Jura"

Another popular place that is famous for paid fishing in the Nizhny Novgorod region. Not far from the village of Chaglava there are picturesque ponds. Crucian carp and roach work well here with a regular fishing rod, but you can catch decent-sized carp with a spinning rod. Large pike are also frequent guests on the hook.

As for the price, perhaps these paid lakes for fishing in the Nizhny Novgorod region are the most inexpensive. For one person you will have to pay fifty rubles. But there is no rental equipment here, so you will have to bring all the necessary things for successful fishing with you. but for an experienced fisherman this is not a problem; experienced fishermen never part with the fishing rods they have been accustomed to and loved for many years.

Paid fishing: famous places

There are many places for paid fishing in the region; here everyone can definitely catch a decent amount of fish, since every reservoir is regularly stocked with fish.

Many bases will offer not only fishing; comfortable accommodation of fishermen and their families on vacation is often practiced and is successful. Next, we will look at the most visited paid places.

"Chistye Prudy"

The complex, which is located in the Dalnekonstantinovsky district of the region, includes 5 lakes. Various types of fish are specially grown here. People come here to catch:

pike;
soma;
sturgeon;
trout;
grass carp

But these are minor fish species that are grown here. Carp is considered the main fish; it is the one that is grown here in large quantities. You can fish both in open water and during freeze-up.

Sports fishing competitions are often held on the reservoirs of the complex.

Fish farm "Zarya"

To the side of the city of Arzamas there are several ponds with artificially grown fish. For fishing in each of the reservoirs you have to pay a different price, it all depends on the desired catch:

100-300 rub. it will be necessary to give for crucian carp;
500 or more to catch carp.

There are no restrictions on gear; you can use a lap dog, a fly rod, or a feeder.

Chizhkovo farm

In the Bogorodsky district, not far from the village of Afanasevo, there is a reservoir for paid fishing. The trophies here will be:

carp;
crucian carp;
pike;

The pricing policy is quite flexible, so you should first check with the administration about the prices.
