Lakes of the Ulyanovsk region names

White Lake

White Lake is a self-purifying reservoir located in the Nikolaevsky district of the Ulyanovsk region, in the center of the Volga Upland, on a watershed plateau whose height is 320 meters. This is a monument to the Ice Age, as the age of the lake is 250 thousand years.

The clear water of White Lake lives up to its name, as does the clean white sand. It has an oval shape, mineralization is insignificant. At the bottom there is silt consisting of dead algae, rotifer shells, pollen of coniferous plants, a small amount of sand and plant debris.

The banks are flat, low, and swampy in some places. Lake Beloye is stagnant and fed by water and produced by groundwater and atmospheric waters. In winter, the ice is 0.5-0.6 meters thick.

The lake contains representatives of Ice Age flora. Maples, perennial pines, lindens, mosses, lichens and dwarf birch grow on the banks.

The banks are covered with mixed forest with a predominance of ancient oaks and conifers. They create a favorable climate and improve the natural environment.

The lake contains the Limbay swamp with an area of 0.075 square kilometers. It has a peat deposit with a thickness of 2 meters, composed of sedge-sphagnum and sphagnum peats. The age of the alloy is approximately 6,000 years.

In 2009-2010, the lake became shallow; in 2010, a fire occurred here, which burned the Limbay swamp and almost the entire coastline.

A little about the village of Elkhovoe Lake. [hide] '; > else [show] '; >;»> [show]

The village of Elkhovoe Lake is located 24 km northeast of the regional center of the town. Tsilna, in the valley of the Sviyaga River. Named after the lake overgrown with alder. Founded by the Tatars in 1649. In 1649, several families of Yasash Tatars from different villages of the Sviyazhsky district were transferred “to the sovereign’s equestrian service in the city of Simbirsk in the settlement of Elkhovka for eternal life.” In 1664, they “allowed” the village of four households of serving Tatars to join them, and then the Chuvash joined, and from that time the difficult path of struggle of the Elhovoozernsky Chuvash, as well as the Tatars, of course, for their existence began. Why is the village called Elkhovoe Lake, popularly Elshanka, and the Tatars and Chuvashs call it completely differently - Keshe? According to the receipt and expenditure book of 1667 / p. 50/ it is written: “... in the village of Olkhovaya, Ozernaya there were also 12 entire households, 3 households without a couple and 9 half-yards, and yasak was collected according to the salary from 19 households with a half-yard.” As you can see, there were two villages: Olkhovaya and Ozernaya. This is also confirmed by some legends that have survived to this day. For example, to the south of the village, behind the garden and the Bugurninskaya river there is a place called “Baka Yafragy”. There is a slight hill here. When the ground is excavated, coins and household items dating back to 1660-70 are recovered. Therefore, we can assume that the first “migrants”, service Tatars, lived here for some time and this settlement was called “Ozernaya”, since there are lakes all around. Read more HERE.

The village is located in a lowland, so groundwater is shallow from the surface. In the wells, the water is at a depth of up to 6 m. In the spring, melt water flows through rural streets, so for ease of movement, drains from pipes are built on the alleys.

Chekalinskoye Lake

Lake Chekalinskoye is located in the southwestern part of the Kuzovatovsky district in the Ulyanovsk region, 4 kilometers from the village of Lesnoye Chekalino. It is located at an altitude of 273 meters above sea level, its length is 0.54 kilometers, width - 0.54 kilometers, area - 40 hectares.

The lake depression formed among sandy rocks at the watershed of the Temryazanka and Tomyshevka rivers. The lake has gentle slopes. Swamping occurs through overgrowing from the bottom and the growth of sphagnum raft. Of great scientific interest is the raft with northern plant communities, an area of 7 hectares and a peat thickness of 80 centimeters. Rare medicinal and valuable food plants grow on the raft, including swamp gammarbia, sundews, three-leafed butterfly, swamp cranberry, swamp scheuchzeria and white beetroot.

Cranberries bear fruit well. On the surface of the water there are a large number of islands of vegetation, consisting of reeds, cattails, sedges and cinquefoil.

Relief, features of water resources of the region

The relief of the Ulyanovsk region began its history 25 million years ago, when its territory began to rise above sea level. Currently, the average height on the surface is about 180 m. The highest height is 353 m.

The region's water resources are significant; there are 2,033 rivers and streams, the total length of which is more than 10,000 km.

Lakes of the Ulyanovsk region

In 2021, a multi-year project of the Ulyanovsk regional branch of the Russian Geographical Society “Lakes of the Ulyanovsk Region” was launched. This project is a logical continuation of the “Rivers of the Ulyanovsk Region” project completed in 2015 and is aimed at a comprehensive study of stagnant water bodies in the region.

The project was implemented jointly with Ulyanovsk State Pedagogical University named after. I.N. Ulyanov, Ulyanovsk State University, Ulyanovsk Regional Museum of Local Lore. I.A. Goncharov and Scientific Research.

During the 2021 field season, four expedition trips were carried out (May, June, August), during which 8 lakes in four districts of the Ulyanovsk region. In the first year, attention was paid mainly to lake natural monuments of regional significance ( Kryazh , Svetloye , Poganoe , Zotovo , Chekalinskoye and Beloe ). These reservoirs are relict for the region under study and are characterized by the presence of well-defined sedge-sphagnum raft. In addition, a survey was also carried out of the largest lake in the Ulyanovsk region - Belolebyazhye and Lake Stanovoe , which was subjected to peat mining in the last century.

In 2021, more than 26 people took part in field work, including doctors and candidates of biological sciences, graduate students and students of specialized biological specialties. Research was carried out in the main areas of floristry and faunistics, as well as landscape science, hydrology and anthropogenic impact on water bodies. Particular attention is paid to the condition of rare species of aquatic and semi-aquatic plants and animals listed in the Red Book of the Ulyanovsk region.

Free fishing in the Ulyanovsk region

Most residents of the Ulyanovsk region love fishing, and guests of the region also show great interest in it. Why such interest? The first is, of course, the beautiful nature, the second, the pleasure of fishing. It must be said that even in winter you can see a large number of fishermen on the reservoirs. Let's take a closer look at the topic of fishing in the Ulyanovsk region, and try to describe the most popular fishing spots.

Here are the TOP 10 best places where you can fish for free in the Ulyanovsk region:

Volga River (Panshino village)

Description, what kind of fish is found, how to get there:

According to experienced fishermen, it is this area that, for some unknown reason, attracts a lot of different fish. A small village located on a hillside, washed by the large expanse of water of the Volga. The bottom of the reservoir mainly consists of thick silt, sometimes there are stones or shells, and small islands can be seen formed along the entire surface of the reservoir. At the beginning of spring, anglers come to this place with the goal of catching as many roaches as possible; at this time there are a lot of them here. Also during this period, ide and chub are often caught. Armed with a couple of float rods and taking a boat with you, you can bring home quite a lot of fish. And if you have a quok at your disposal, then by the end of fishing there will definitely be a catfish in the cage.

Since September, bream has predominated in the reservoir. Many experienced anglers have discovered the best place for fishing, located not a few kilometers above the village. For local residents, this place is known as the Monastery, because there are remains of an old chapel in the area. It should be noted that a float rod is not entirely suitable for catching bream; in this case, it is recommended to use a donkey. If someone is not familiar with this tackle, then a donka is a feeder that, when cast, lies on the bottom. This tackle can be made more fully with your own hands.

2. River Uren

Description, what kind of fish is found, how to get there:

This river has a length of 42 kilometers and flows throughout almost the entire Ulyanovsk region. Uren belongs to the Volga basin. This is one of the favorite places for winter fishing enthusiasts. You need to know that if you go to a pond before dawn, you can catch active fish, most often it is perch; after the sun appears, roach most often bites.

Perch usually stay as close to the shore as possible. Approximately five meters away it is already necessary to make at least 4 holes, get acquainted with the local terrain. It's best to take some time to find where the schooling bass are and start fishing. It is recommended to use bloodworms as bait.

When fishing for roach, it is also necessary to make several holes, but the depth should already reach at least 10 meters, and preferably 15. It is necessary to take into account that bait for roach in the cold season may not mix well, therefore, it is best to do this in advance at home.

3. Biryuch River

Description, what kind of fish is found, how to get there:

This river is the left tributary of the Sviyaga. Its length is about 60 kilometers. This place attracts not only fishermen, but also just vacationers, since the water in the reservoir is incredibly clean and the nature is beautiful.

With just one float rod you can catch a lot of dace and bluefish, which usually live in pits. Recommended bait is worms, bread, dough. Often a chub is caught on a fishing rod; it is caught mainly on light and ultralight rods. It is best to cast gear downstream near vegetation or at a bend in the river. Here, chicken and goose liver, as well as May beetle larvae, have proven themselves to be the best bait.

But you need to know that the chub is listed in the Red Book of the Ulyanovsk region. That is, it is best to release the chub into its natural environment and keep a small part of the catch for yourself, otherwise there may be serious consequences.

The Biryuch River is also rich in burbot, which is best caught on a donkey. Mostly the bite occurs at night or at dawn. A small minnow or frog will work well as bait; finding such bait is not very difficult. The only drawback of the river is that the roads around the reservoir are unsuitable for driving. It is very difficult to get around there in four-wheel drive vehicles, but it is best to leave the car nearby and go on foot
