There are quite a lot of reports on the Internet about fishing in the Minsk Sea reservoir. If you believe everything published, the place here is the most fishy, and the local inhabitants of the reservoir are tasty, pleasant, do not smell of mud, grow huge, and they are always so hungry that in a couple of hours you can catch enough for several months of lunches and dinners. However, as other wise people say, only fishermen can fantasize better than politicians. And the big question is which of them do it more often. However, today fishing in the Minsk Sea really looks like a promising pastime.

What is it about?

As you can see from the reports, fishing in the Minsk Sea does not force you to invent anything and lie - the photos show that the catch is rich, and the fish are really big. In addition, not so long ago, a huge amount of fish was launched into the reservoir. And all this for the sake of the fishermen! How can you not try your hand in the fight against cunning underwater inhabitants? By the way, in the VKontakte social network, fishing in the Minsk Sea is a separate topic of discussion, itthere is even a dedicated community.

Another, having seen enough pictures, will think: and where is such a magnificent fish sea, which was not taught at school in geography lessons? It's simple: "Minsk Sea" is just a name that has taken root among the people, and the official name is "Zaslavskoe". When people talk about fishing in the Minsk Sea, they mean a large reservoir ten kilometers away from Minsk. You can get to it by leaving the city to the northwest. Some joke that it is this confusion with names that provides excellent fishing in the Minsk Sea - just not everyone can find it.

Big, beautiful, rich

So, fishing in the Minsk Sea involves catching fish in an artificially created reservoir. In his country, he ranks second in size, and the area is so large that the nickname was not invented by chance. Fish have a place to live and frolic here, which is why fishing in the Minsk Sea is so rich in results. Still, the depth reaches eight meters, and the width of the reservoir stretches as much as four kilometers.

At the moment, both fishing in the Minsk Sea in summer and the cold season in these parts are considered successful. Such versatility is due to the abundance of fish varieties that live in the reservoir. Connoisseurs of bream and pike perch will surely be able to catch their favorite fish, roach and pike are found here, scavengers and tench are represented in abundance. And where without perches! This fish is a dime a dozen here.

Frost andsunshine, wonderful day

Fishing in the Minsk Sea in winter, at the beginning of spring, promises rich catches, but only careful and skillful fishermen will be successful. The official spring season starts in April, but those who like to get out of the house for the sake of fish in cold weather can safely go for a catch in any month of the year. In November, December, in a word, from late autumn until April, while there is strong ice on the reservoir, you can drill holes and get a decent catch.

Fans of winter fishing note that sometimes on the Minsk Sea on cold days it is not possible to catch anything at all. You can’t argue: this happens in any reservoir. However, a little luck, and there is no doubt in a decent catch of pike perch, bream. Perches peck in large numbers all year round, although many do not appreciate them too much. And this, by the way, is also a fish, especially in the Minsk Sea it grows to a decent size - there is something to roam on.

Spring is coming, spring is on the way

Spring season starts in mid-April. During this period, the ice on Belarusian reservoirs is dangerous, you just can’t catch fish. If you choose a good place, you can get a large amount of bleak. The fish is large, starved during the winter, so it responds to top dressing almost instantly if it was possible to find a suitable area for fishing. Just a few hours - and already a dozen or two fish at the disposal of a lucky fisherman.

Experts say that a very good place for spring fishing is a dam near the yacht club. Here, in addition to bleak, you can get a decent volumeroach, trying to eat everything in the spring. Surprisingly easy and plentiful fish are caught on pasta and pearl barley. You can get a considerable income for the bloodworm.

Where else to go?

Experienced fishermen, when sharing information about the Minsk Sea, are always advised to try their hand at the territory from Laporovichi to Zagorye. The fish here are very different, representatives of the underwater kingdom live in abundance. If you want to catch rudd, you should try to start from the Rotom Bay. Local reed thickets have long been chosen by this kind of fish. And for the most patient, this site has prepared a special reward: large bream, pike perch.

Heat, beauty

During the warm summer season, the Minsk Sea gathers a huge number of fishermen from all over the country. However, as people who spend their free time here constantly note, silence and tranquility usually reign here - there are a lot of places, the reservoir is huge, so the fishermen, although they feel “their brother” nearby, having no desire to be in someone's company, easily avoid this. But you won’t be able to avoid fish, especially if you have bloodworms, maggots with you: scavengers peck at them. By weight, the fish reach half a kilogram. The largest ones will go to the patient and prudent fishermen, who took crackers and oatmeal as food.

You can catch tench on the territory of the so-called flooded garden. This area is suitable only for patient fishermen, but the reward promises to be big. Betweenby the way, rudd is found in abundance here.

Plotvich is waiting

Near the Semsky bridge in the warm season, you can get several kilograms of roach in a short time. It is most convenient to catch it from the dam, and the bite here is the best. However, when purposefully looking for roach, you should pay attention to the boat station: not far from it there are concrete slabs from which this fish is caught very well.

With a boat, you can swim away. At a distance from the coastal strip, crucian carp is found in abundance. It's better to catch him in the dump. On average, the fish caught here weigh one and a half kilograms. You need to understand that it is during the warm season that the Minsk Sea will have the most competitors. However, not only them: the place is also popular with vacationers, so on weekends you still have to look for a quiet backwater. As mentioned above, the pond is four kilometers wide, so there is every chance to find a suitable location.

Important Features

Anyone can get to the Minsk Sea: the entrance is free, the passage is open, no one needs to pay money. True, there are certain rules, non-compliance with which will lead to pen alties. In particular, fishing under water, on the track, is prohibited. The reservoir is not used as a place for commercial fishing. But gasoline-powered boats do not raise any questions, you can safely come with your own watercraft in order to be able to move away from the coast to the desired distance, having absolute autonomy.

Minsk Sea belongs to the categorylakes. Here, in addition to those mentioned above, catfish live, and there were a lot of pikes this year, next year, as they promise, there will be even more. This is due to the initiative to settle several tons of this fish in the reservoir.

Geographic features

Zaslavskoye reservoir covers an area of 31.1 km. The river Svisloch flows through the lake. The length of the reservoir reaches ten kilometers, the length of the coastline is 55 km. In total, there are a dozen islands in the reservoir.

We stock as best we can

Last year, a fairly large number of carps and crucians were released into the Minsk Sea. Most of all they brought pike: in several batches, the weight of only one of them was three tons. The event was organized at the initiative of the state community of fishermen and hunters. Thousands and thousands of fish settled in the reservoir for the joy of people and for the benefit of nature. The event did not happen by chance, they even summed up the scientific justification for it. Some time later, in the spring, cupid, tench, catfish were additionally delivered to the reservoir.

However, the scientific justification is scientific, but the initiative was born at the numerous requests of connoisseurs of fishing. To determine the most suitable reservoirs, even surveys were conducted to find out where people prefer to fish, and also assessed potential areas by area - stocking small reservoirs is futile.
