This is the optimal time to grab your gear and head to the frozen reservoirs. We have collected photos of fresh catches and found out where the fishing is best in the region right now.

According to experienced anglers, one of the most promising spots is located near the Beloyarsky settlement. Numerous photo reports attest to this. One fisherman shared details of his outing: «I went to Beloyarskoye Reservoir. I arrived not too early, at 10:00 a.m., and fished until 4:00 p.m. The depth was 7 meters (23 ft). The bite started picking up around noon and kept improving. All in all, it was a decent catch.»
